National security and defense depend upon close collaboration between international allies. To protect sensitive data and promote robust cybersecurity frameworks, organizations must consider one another’s compliance requirements. One such requirement is the United States International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which restricts and controls the export of defense and military-related technologies in order to safeguard US national security. Here, we set out how an innovation called Trusted Secure Enclaves (TSE) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) allows non-US national organizations who want to use the most modern and innovative technology to deliver defense and security missions using the cloud can do this and be compliant.

The healthcare industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and connected care devices. This digital revolution promises to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance the overall healthcare experience. However, it also introduces new challenges in terms of cybersecurity, privacy, and regulatory compliance. To navigate this complex landscape, healthcare organizations are turning to scalable, affordable, and highly available cloud infrastructures such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build resilient, secure, and innovative solutions.

With the Internet of Things (IoT), selecting the right communication protocol ensures efficient data exchange and seamless connectivity between devices and the cloud. With a multitude of IoT protocols available, choosing the one that best suits your specific use case can be challenging. In this blog, we explore four common protocols used to connect IoT devices to the cloud and shed light on when and where to deploy them for optimal results.

In alignment with Singapore’s ambitious sustainability objectives, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore is intensifying its efforts to spur the adoption of electric vehicles. This contributes to the nation’s goal of achieving 100 percent cleaner energy vehicles by 2040, and the effort leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS). LTA has set up EV-Electric Charging Pte Ltd (EVe) to manage the deployment of up to 12,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging points distributed across 2,000 Housing Development Board (HDB) carparks.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is continuing its collaboration with Defending Digital Campaigns (DDC) to offer more than 20 cybersecurity-related AWS services for low-to-no cost to all active and registered national party committees and federal candidate campaigns.

In 2022, Intelsat — operator of one of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial networks and a leading provider of in-flight connectivity — collaborated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to complete a post-acquisition domain migration from Gogo Commercial Aviation without impacting inflight experiences and other operations. This blog post shares the lessons learned from Intelsat’s successful domain migration with AWS.

Government, education, nonprofit, healthcare, and other public sector organizations process and store sensitive data including health records, tax data, PII, student data, criminal justice information, and financial data. These workloads carry stringent security and compliance requirements to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of this data both in transit and at rest. Best practices for protection of data in transit include enforcing appropriately defined encryption requirements, authenticating network communications, and implementing secure key and certificate management systems. In this post, I demonstrate a solution for deploying a highly available and fault tolerant web service with managed certificates and TLS termination performed on customer-managed EC2 Nitro instances using ACM for Nitro Enclaves.
