Global leaders are convening in Germany this week at the annual Munich Security Conference (MSC) to discuss key foreign policy and security challenges. Amid these discussions, one thing is clear: global leadership increasingly hinges on technological progress. In particular, the rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI) presents an extraordinary opportunity for transformative innovation. For the U.S. government, this moment marks a crucial inflection point: embrace bold modernization of digital infrastructure and AI investment or risk being outpaced by global competitors.

Zero trust in the US public sector has become critical, especially as cyber threats targeting government agencies grow more complex and sophisticated. In line with the federal mandate for zero trust architecture (ZTA) outlined in Executive Order M-22-09, government agencies are required to adopt a comprehensive security framework that continuously verifies trust for every access request. In this post, we demonstrate how Cisco Umbrella for Government, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), plays a key role in ZTA by providing multi-layered security and granular visibility across on premises and AWS.

In this post, we explore how generative artificial intelligence (AI), powered by services such as Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, can be harnessed to meet the unique challenges of AWS GovCloud (US). We highlight use cases that demonstrate the potential of generative AI to enhance efficiency, automate workflows, and extract insights—all within a secure, compliant framework.

During AWS re:Invent 2024, an Innovation Session presented by Worldwide Public Sector Vice President Dave Levy illustrated how AWS empowers customers to innovate and tackle critical challenges faster and more efficiently using cloud technology and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Take a few minutes to read this post and learn more about the transformative initiatives, inspiring customer stories, and technological developments that help AWS public sector customers improve life on Earth.

CMMC compliance will soon be a must-have for federal contractors, so they need to plan now for how to achieve it. The path towards compliance differs according to the level needed and the assessments involved. Fortunately, there is no shortage of resources available to help—including from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its partners.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Modular Data Center (MDC) is a service that enables rapid deployment of AWS managed data centers for running location- or latency-sensitive applications in locations with limited infrastructure. It reduces deployment time in remote areas and supports up to five racks of AWS Outposts or AWS Snow Family devices. In this post, we guide you through the end-to-end process of deploying the MDC at your site.

How can technology leaders rapidly deliver responsible artificial intelligence-based innovation while aligning with the broad spectrum of strict regulatory requirements? The answer is simple: Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (US) provides the technology that underpins a solid foundation for securely and compliantly building and deploying AI capabilities.
