Retrieval-Augmented Generative (RAG) applications enhance the responses retrieved from large language models (LLMs) by integrating external data such as downloaded files, web scrapings, and user-contributed data pools. This integration improves the models’ performance by adding relevant context to the prompt. While RAG applications are a powerful way to dynamically add additional context to an LLM’s prompt […]

AWS IAM Identity Center is streamlining its AWS CloudTrail events by including only essential fields that are necessary for workflows like audit and incident response. This change simplifies user identification in CloudTrail, addressing customer feedback. It also enhances correlation between IAM Identity Center users and external directory services, such as Okta Universal Directory or Microsoft […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers use various AWS services to migrate, build, and innovate in the AWS Cloud. To align with compliance requirements, customers need to monitor, evaluate, and detect changes made to AWS resources. AWS Config continuously audits, assesses, and evaluates the configurations of your AWS resources. AWS Config rules continuously evaluate your AWS […]

Vulnerability management is a vital part of network, application, and infrastructure security, and its goal is to protect an organization from inadvertent access and exposure of sensitive data and infrastructure. As part of vulnerability management, organizations typically perform a risk assessment to determine which vulnerabilities pose the greatest risk, evaluate their impact on business goals […]

Data security and data authorization, as distinct from user authorization, is a critical component of business workload architectures. Its importance has grown with the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, with generative AI introducing new opportunities to use internal data sources with large language models (LLMs) and multimodal foundation models (FMs) to augment model outputs. […]

Security is a shared responsibility between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and you, the customer. As a customer, the services you choose, how you connect them, and how you run your solutions can impact your security posture. To help customers fulfill their responsibilities and find the right balance for their business, under the shared responsibility model, […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers multiple security services that you can use together to perform more timely investigations and improve the mean time to remediate issues. In this blog post, you will learn how to integrate Amazon […]

Many organizations continuously receive security-related findings that highlight resources that aren’t configured according to the organization’s security policies. The findings can come from threat detection services like Amazon GuardDuty, or from cloud security posture management (CSPM) services like AWS Security Hub, or other sources. An important question to ask is: How, and how soon, are […]

Customers are finding several advantages to using generative AI within their applications. However, using generative AI adds new considerations when reviewing the threat model of an application, whether you’re using it to improve the customer experience for operational efficiency, to generate more tailored or specific results, or for other reasons. Generative AI models are inherently […]
