As data becomes increasingly valuable, robust security measures are critical. This post reviews how Protegrity’s tokenization integration with Amazon Redshift Dynamic Data Masking enables organizations to effectively protect sensitive data. It provides an overview of key concepts like Protegrity Vaultless Tokenization and Redshift Dynamic Data Masking, including code examples to better safeguard sensitive information within their Redshift data warehouse both at rest and in use.

Amazon EC2 Mac instances provide Apple hardware to develop for iOS and macOS at scale. Dependencies for building apps require privileged access, normally needing manual user approval. By enrolling EC2 Macs into Mobile Device Management (MDM) with Jamf Pro, administrators can automate remote configuration and software deployment without per-instance interaction. After launching an instance and installing required profiles with Jamf, users should create an AMI to retain the instance state.

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) allow quick deployment of EC2 instances, but managing multiple customized AMIs is complex. Stratus10’s Image Management Solution automates and streamlines AMI building, testing, and deployment using EC2 Image Builder. It provides consistency, integrates with current processes, reduces costs, and improves security. By eliminating manual processes, engineering teams can focus on innovation while hardened images ensure best practices.

Enterprise cloud adoption enables scalability but can introduce security and compliance challenges from decentralized builders and disparate growth. Accenture’s Secure Cloud Foundation on AWS provides a well-defined, automated account provisioning process with guardrails to enable secure and streamlined self-service innovation across teams. It establishes robust cloud foundations to automate security and break organizational barriers for accountability and outcomes.

Salesforce and AWS provide integrations that extend platform capabilities to help organizations solve unique business problems. Customers leverage Salesforce for modern user workflows and AWS for backend services, system integration, and data analytics. Integrations link the platforms through automation and tightly coupled services to meet security and performance needs, often using asynchronous event flows.

KewSustain is an AI platform by KewMann built on AWS that addresses gaps in sustainability compliance. It efficiently gathers ESG data from multiple sources, analyzes it, and generates sustainability reports adhering to major frameworks. Key features include automated data collection, collaboration tools, recommendations based on various risk factors, real-time insights via dashboards, and a virtual assistant providing guidance on reporting requirements.

ServiceNow and AWS have collaborated to bridge language barriers in global workforces. Using AWS services like Amazon Translate and Amazon Comprehend, the AWS Translate Spoke for ServiceNow Flow Designer enables automatic translation of text into employees’ native languages. By demonstrating how the AWS Translate Spoke can translate knowledge articles, this post explains how ServiceNow customers can easily build multi-language workflows to serve global users.

Leveraging AWS Lambda response streaming functionality enables progressive data delivery from large datasets, enhancing web application performance. This post compares a traditional API implementation to a Lambda streaming API, demonstrating reduced time-to-first-byte latency and quicker, more dynamic client-side rendering. By incrementally sending data, response streaming eliminates lag from waiting on entire dataset transfers, vastly improving user experience for data-intensive applications.

The move to cloud-based contact centers (CCaaS) enables innovations like remote agents, sentiment analysis, and AI to improve customer experience. Operata offers a CX monitoring platform for Amazon Connect that provides observability into these connections, helping teams manage shared responsibility, analyze performance, anticipate issues, and optimize resources. Investing in visibility through tools like Operata sets CCaaS customers up for operational success.

Noventiq developed uDMS, a smart document management system hosted on AWS serverless architecture that removes the need to manage servers while ensuring scalability, cost-efficiency, and global accessibility. uDMS offers easy document tracking, metadata templating, workflow notifications, version control, and integrates well with other systems. It demonstrates how a serverless architecture can enable rapid deployment and modernization of legacy document management systems.
