In this post, the first in a two-part series, we focus on the detection and forensic readiness side of satellite IR. This post walks through instrumenting your ground segment with Amazon Web Services (AWS) security services and AWS Ground Station so that threats surface before they cause damage, and forensic data is already flowing when an incident occurs.

This blog covers what to do when those detections fire. Satellite incident response (IR) must account for constraints that ground-based systems never face: containment actions that wait for the next orbital pass, decisions that trade mission continuity against security, and recovery procedures where the compromised endpoint cannot be physically accessed. It walks through containment, eradication, recovery, automated runbooks, and tabletop exercises designed for satellite operations teams.

In this post, we explain what the Progressing Snapshot program is, what the program is for, who it is for, and how Amazon Web Services (AWS) helps you lay the foundation to address many of the 40 snapshot controls.

Learn how the Login.gov team implemented a robust long-term log retention system that solved multiple architectural challenges while using Amazon Web Services (AWS) account-level subscription filters to provide capabilities that other approaches couldn’t match.

Learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) operates inside a scoped compute environment with an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) execution role, network segmentation, and defense-in-depth security meeting FISMA, FedRAMP, and DoD CCSRG standards.

Learn more about the Digital Research and Curation Center (DRCC), the group within the Sheridan Libraries that builds and manages digital infrastructure for open scholarship, migrated DSpace to the cloud with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

In this post, we explore how federal agencies can accelerate modernization, improve cybersecurity incident response, and support continuous compliance monitoring using Datadog’s FedRAMP High authorized observability and security platform.

Universities across the UK conduct tens of thousands of online interviews and exams each year. During a single admissions intake, over 20,000 video interviews were recorded for international applicants, with 1.3% of sessions showing confirmed fraud, including 0.15% involving deepfakes. A survey by the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI) found that 2% of students […]

Federal agencies operating in the cloud face a challenge with Trusted Internet Connection 2.0. All internet traffic must backhaul through on-premises infrastructure, creating bottlenecks that limit cloud adoption and degrade performance. The TIC 3.0 initiative addresses this by enabling agencies to implement security controls directly in the cloud, providing secure internet connectivity for federal workloads, […]

Ivanti’s 2025 State of Cybersecurity Report revealed that only one in three organizations feel prepared to protect themselves from software supply chain threats. According to Cowbell’s Cyber Roundup Report 2024, with respect to supply chain threats, operating systems pose the greatest immediate threat as “they form the foundational layer of an organization’s entire IT infrastructure.” […]
