5 ways AWS empowers GovTech innovation in 2025
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been a trusted collaborator and advisor to GovTechs for years, providing the tools, expertise, and support they need to build and grow their solutions effectively. In this blog post, we discuss five key ways AWS supports GovTechs in their mission to serve government agencies and citizens.
Hosting regulated U.S. State and Local Government Workloads in AWS
U.S. State and Local Government (SLG) organizations often have requirements to host regulated workloads with distinct compliance requirements. Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides U.S. SLG customers with an approach to meet compliance needs by using AWS GovCloud (US) regions or AWS U.S. commercial regions. In this post, we will explain how some U.S. SLG regulated workloads can be hosted in the AWS U.S. commercial regions.
Establishing a robust cloud platform and operational model through the CCoE
This post is part three of a four-part series that addresses how a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) can be a viable solution to address the challenges of digital transformation. In this post, we address the three technical perspectives of the Amazon Web Services Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF). While the business, organizational, and governance perspectives of the AWS CAF are crucial, the CCoE must also focus on the technical capabilities required to build and operate a cloud environment that meets the organization’s needs.
Allies can share data and technologies and remain compliant with international regulations using AWS
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.
Securing the future of healthcare in the age of generative AI and connected care
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.
Continuous monitoring and governance: AWS best practices for keeping your data secure during the holidays and beyond
As we look ahead to 2025, it’s crucial to maintain vigilance, especially during the holiday season, when cybersecurity risks tend to escalate. Many organizations use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance their security posture and improve resilience. In this post, we discuss the AWS best practices for securing your data during the holiday season.
Migrating to a multi-account strategy for public sector customers
A multi-account strategy is important for Amazon Web Services (AWS) public sector customers because it is the foundation of cloud governance and compliance. Public sector customers using a shared account model can improve security and operational efficiency by adopting a multi-account strategy. In this post, we explore methods for existing AWS public sector customers to prepare for and migrate to a multi-account environment.
How national security and defence missions protect data with Trusted Secure Enclaves on AWS
From training to supporting the front line, Amazon Web Services (AWS) can provide solutions to help solve the challenges that formations, units, and allies face. More than just providing computer and storage capability in the cloud, AWS can help intelligence, planning and operations teams leverage newer, cost-effective artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), analytics, simulations, and other technologies.
Building a secure and low-code bioinformatics workbench on AWS HealthOmics
Singapore General Hospital (SGH), SingHealth Office of Academic Informatics (OAI), and Amazon Web Services (AWS) collaborated to develop a cost-effective, scalable cloud infrastructure that enables researchers to perform their own analyses on a centrally secured and compliant cloud platform. AWS HealthOmics offers a suite of services that help bioinformaticians, researchers, and scientists to store, query, analyze, and generate insights from genomic and other biological data. Read this post to learn more about the three primary components of HealthOmics used in the solution.
