Accelerate regulatory package processing with agentic AI on AWS and Databricks

Accelerate regulatory package processing with agentic AI on AWS and Databricks

Learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a fundamentally different approach. By deploying agentic AI—specialized AI agents that work collaboratively to analyze, validate, and route documentation—federal agencies can dramatically accelerate conformity processing while maintaining or improving quality and compliance standards.

How government agencies can transform cybersecurity operations with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

How government agencies can transform cybersecurity operations with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

Government agencies are facing a cybersecurity challenge. Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) systems generate thousands of alerts on a daily basis, overwhelming security operations center (SOC) analysts who spend countless hours manually investigating incidents. Studies show that 70% of alerts turn out to be false positives. This reactive approach creates critical vulnerabilities: alert […]

How to estimate Amazon Bedrock costs for public sector applications

How to estimate Amazon Bedrock costs for public sector applications

As state and federal organizations increasingly explore generative AI implementations using Amazon Bedrock, they face a critical challenge: accurately estimating the costs associated with these workloads. In this post, we cover details about estimating costs on Amazon Bedrock.

Meeting mission goals by modernizing data architecture with AWS

Meeting mission goals by modernizing data architecture with AWS

In this blog post, learn key AWS concepts and services that can help agencies modernize their cloud and data architecture. First, learn two fundamental concepts that agencies need to examine regardless of their technical approach. Then, discover the AWS services that enable agencies to apply these concepts to meet mission needs.

Automatically extracting email attachment data to reduce costs and save time for local public health departments

Local public health departments must notify public health agencies, like state health departments or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), of reportable conditions. These departments receive various types of reports of healthcare conditions through email, in addition to more traditional methods such as mail, fax, or phone calls. Local health departments can dramatically reduce the time and costs associated with manually processing email attachments and improve processing efficiency using automation. In this blog post, learn how to create an automated email attachment ingestion, storage, and processing solution powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) services from AWS.

How to improve government customer experience by building a modern serverless web application in AWS GovCloud (US)

Modern applications built using microservices architectures improve customer experience by dramatically reducing the risk of failures in a web application. In this blog post, we present a sample AWS reference architecture of a microservices application built using an architecture framework based in AWS GovCloud (US), which can help support adherence to a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Baseline.

Architecture framework for transforming federal customer experience and service delivery

Customer experience (CX) has emerged as a key priority in the US following the 2021 Biden Administration Executive Order (EO) to transform federal customer experience and service delivery. Application modernization enables agencies to simplify business processes and provide customers with flexible, interactive, and simple to use applications, resulting in improved CX. In this blog post, we present an AWS architecture framework that agencies can use to develop and deploy a modern application that helps improve CX.

How public sector agencies can identify improper payments with machine learning

To mitigate synthetic fraud, government agencies should consider complementing their rules-based improper payment detection systems with machine learning (ML) techniques. By using ML on a large number of disparate but related data sources, including social media, agencies can formulate a more comprehensive risk score for each individual or transaction to help investigators identify improper payments efficiently. In this blog post, we provide a foundational reference architecture for an ML-powered improper payment detection solution using AWS ML services.

How Booz Allen obtains C-ATO to accelerate service delivery in federal organizations using AWS

Government agencies are moving to speed up service delivery, but agencies need to obtain an Authority to Operate (ATO) that demonstrates security compliance prior to implementation, which can take a significant amount of time and can prove to be a challenge in meeting tight deadlines. AWS Partner Booz Allen Hamilton (Booz Allen) uses a platform as a service model on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable their customers to rapidly build, test, scan, and deploy their applications — accelerating releases in the federal government from months to days.
