For US government contractors and subcontractors, navigating the path to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is no small task. The stakes are high, and the requirements are complex. With the Department of Defense (DoD)—also known as the Department of War—phasing CMMC into new and existing contracts, the pressure to get it right keeps growing. That’s why organizations are increasingly looking for efficient, scalable ways to examine their environments to prepare for CMMC assessments without overburdening teams or budgets.

This post explores how AI agents powered by Strands Agents on AWS can transform geospatial workflows, making spatial data accessible to any government worker through natural language interactions.

AWS is expanding its Global Security and Compliance Acceleration (GSCA) partner program to AWS Secret Cloud and AWS Top Secret Cloud, creating a streamlined pathway for bringing cutting-edge capabilities to national security missions. Read this post to learn more.

In this blog post, we demonstrate how public sector organizations can overcome the challenges that emerge when integrating Amazon Redshift and other AWS relational databases with Amazon Bedrock. You’ll learn how to utilize enterprise data to generate AI-powered analytical insights by using natural language queries through Amazon Bedrock Agents and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. This custom solution enables seamless connectivity between your structured data sources and generative AI applications, eliminating the need for data duplication and significantly reducing development effort.

Whether you’re a technical architect, systems integrator, or government technology leader, this post provides the technical insights needed to understand and implement MOSIP (Modular Open-Source Identity Platform) on AWS effectively.

In a groundbreaking demonstration, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and General Atomics Integrated Intelligence, Inc. (GA-Intelligence) showcased the power of cloud computing in advancing autonomous air capabilities. By leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS), General Atomics (GA) successfully integrated cutting-edge technologies to demonstrate unmanned air-to-air engagement. The demonstration—which took place on July 8, 2025—marks a significant milestone in the evolution of autonomous military systems and highlights the critical role of cloud computing in modern defense operations.

Federal agencies are at a pivotal juncture in their technological evolution. Legacy systems, some dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, continue to power essential government services while facing a challenge: the retirement of the workforce that understands and maintains them. Rebecca Wetherly, director of worldwide public sector global system integrator partners at AWS recently sat down with Denise Zheng, chief AI officer at Accenture Federal Services (AFS), to discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) and modernization can help agencies navigate this transition while improving service delivery to citizens.

AWS collaborated with the Virginia Army National Guard (VA ARNG) for Cyber Fortress 2025, an exercise that brought together government agencies, public utilities, and academia to strengthen critical infrastructure defense through collaborative training. Read this post to learn more.
