As organisations modernise to meet the evolving expectations of the Australian Government, delivering secure, cloud-based services has become a commercial and operational necessity. This transformation brings a critical challenge: maintaining a hardened security posture while aligning to the Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment requirements and priorities.

This post is for two audiences. The first is agencies already running MARS-E-compliant workloads on AWS that are looking to map their existing posture onto the new framework. The second is agencies planning a migration from on-premises infrastructure where ARC-AMPE will be in scope from the first day.

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.

In this post, you will learn how the Maritime Cloud Environment (MCE) addresses these challenges by offering suppliers a secure, compliant, Navy-provided Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud environment for digital engineering collaboration.

This post distills how one Amazon Web Services (AWS) customer in the defense and aerospace industry interpreted the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and concluded that U.S. commercial AWS Regions could support their export-controlled workloads, including AI workloads, when configured appropriately.

In this post, we explore the essential best practices for AWS GovCloud (US) account management and avoid common pitfalls. By following these practices, you can reduce compliance risk and streamline operations across your AWS GovCloud (US) environments.

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.

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.
