These instances will expand customer choice of compute options available on EC2.

Federated learning (FL) addresses the need of preserving privacy while having access to large datasets for machine learning model training. The NVIDIA FLARE (which stands for Federated Learning Application Runtime Environment) platform provides an open-source Python SDK for collaborative computation and offers privacy-preserving FL workflows at scale. NVIDIA is an AWS Competency Partner that has pioneered accelerated computing to tackle challenges in AI and computer graphics.

PKWARE has been working on finding and protecting sensitive data in a range of data stores over the last 10 years. PK Protect Data Store Manager (DSM) on AWS is PKWARE’s flagship product that can scan for sensitive elements in structured and unstructured data, and optionally mask or encrypt the data.

This provides a single Heimdall Proxy endpoint to access data for multiple customers from multiple databases, transparently. Heimdall Data provides functionality needed to support many complex database environments, and solves many of the challenges in scaling database access.

Infusing machine learning into core business processes such as credit scoring creates a competitive edge for banks and financial services institutions. It does not require a data science team, expertise, or platform rollout. Explore an ML-based credit-decisioning model built by ElectrifAi in collaboration with AWS whose model rapidly determines the creditworthiness of a SME, and data-driven, actionable insights reduce the overall processing cost and are consistent and free from any potential human biases.

To reduce the technical complexity and manual processes needed to build pipelines that meet various security policies, Fivetran offers flexible connection options to securely and reliably move enterprise data from source to destination. Fivetran runs on AWS and can support customers syncing data from databases and to destinations hosted on AWS, including the Amazon Redshift data warehouse. Integration with AWS PrivateLink also allows customers to send data without using the public internet.

It has become increasingly important for companies to meet security and compliance standards set forth across industries today, but this is particularly a hurdle for smaller ISVs and startups that do not have the resources and budget to navigate the ever-growing list. Learn about an approach and best practices for SOC 2 compliance, and how DuploCloud accelerates time to compliance by natively integrating security controls into mainstream DevOps workflows.

Enterprises require the ability to be proactive on modern governance challenges. The difficulty is knowing what data you have, where it’s located, its business value or risk to the organization, and how it can be protected.
