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 cover the use cases for AWS Cloud WAN in AWS GovCloud (US), walk through the key capabilities now available to government organizations and regulated industries, provide guidance on getting started, and discuss important considerations for deployment.

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.

AWS provides infrastructure that enables mission and program teams to build and manage their own digital engineering environments with secure, scalable computing resources and tools. This resource supplier relationship delivers value through cost efficiency, simplified management, reliable failover, and streamlined infrastructure operations. In this post, we provide a detailed walkthrough for building a secure and scalable digital engineering environment on AWS.

Organizations operating in austere environments require robust, resilient architectures that maintain operations regardless of connectivity status. This post explores how to implement and deploy resilient hybrid edge architectures using Amazon Web Services (AWS), with a focus on network resilience, data synchronization, security, and configuration management. We’ll cover best practices for deploying and managing hybrid architectures […]

In a previous post on the Public Sector Blog, we covered six key strategies in which Amazon Web Services (AWS) empowers AWS Partners to expand their platforms globally to reach more customers while meeting requirements such as data residency and sovereignty. These ranged from using AWS Global Infrastructure to AWS services that make it easier for […]

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.” […]

Walking in urban areas, especially at night, can be intimidating. Surveys show that 40% of Americans, the highest in three decades, say they are afraid to walk alone at night, and two-thirds avoid certain activities due to fear of crime. Vulnerable groups, including women and children, are affected even more. Similar studies across European countries […]

Cisco ThousandEyes for Government is a network intelligence platform, hosted on AWS GovCloud (US), that is in process for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate authorization. It will give government organizations a unified view of network paths, application performance, and service dependencies. By correlating network conditions, cloud architecture, and external factors, the platform will help teams identify and resolve performance issues across hybrid and cloud environments—saving time and effort for internal and external IT staff support.
