Building zero trust for the Department of Defense: Insights from Les Call, Director of the DoD CIO ZT PfMO

In today’s digital landscape, federal agencies face unprecedented challenges in securing their complex information technology (IT) infrastructure. Traditional security models require more capability, which is why departments like the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are mandating zero trust architectures across their agencies. Renzo Rodriguez, managing director of US Federal Solutions Architecture at Amazon Web Services (AWS), sat down with Les Call, director of the Department of Defense CIO Zero Trust Portfolio Management Office, in a recent episode of “Mission Innovation, powered by AWS,” to explore the challenges and strategies of implementing zero trust within the DoD. Read this post for a recap of their conversation.

Strengthen foundation model queries through Amazon Bedrock-Amazon Alexa integration

Today, generative artificial intelligence (AI) is at the core of many of the decisions and technologies businesses across the globe are implementing. The linchpin to ensuring that generative AI is effective depends on the foundation models (FMs) storing the data. To make sure that those FMs are pulling the correct data, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has developed a solution through Amazon Bedrock to generate SQL to answer user questions about the data. The solution was developed to support the Federal Institute of São Paulo (IFSP) and has optimized their decision-making.
