Public safety is at a crossroads. A rising wave of cyber attacks on mission-critical public safety systems has spurred agencies across the country to modernize their infrastructure. This journey involves adopting new technology, but it’s also about building trust, resilience, and agility into the heart of 911 operations. Recent milestones by Carbyne—culminating in renewed AWS Government Competency status—showcase how a next-generation approach can help agencies stay ahead.

According to the World Bank’s Identification for Development (ID4D) initiative, approximately 850 million people globally don’t have official identification. This prevents citizens from access to essential services including healthcare, education, and social benefits. To address these challenges, Atos and AWS have collaborated on an innovative cloud-based digital identity system using the Modular Open-Source Identity Platform (MOSIP), making these systems more accessible, secure, and scalable than ever before.

Federal agencies use AWS and the AWS Partner Network to deliver complex systems efficiently and effectively. Digital engineering (DE) has emerged as a game-changing approach to addressing these challenges. We recently sat down with Christopher G. Finlay, VP of engineering at the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) Innovation Factory, to discuss how digital engineering is transforming the federal space and accelerating mission success.

We are entering an era when conservationists don’t just have more data available, they also have far more powerful ways to connect it, collaborate with it, and drive meaningful outcomes through it. From rainforests to oceans, and across the entire surface of the earth, innovative organizations are using data to accelerate conservation outcomes with game-changing results.

As NATO member countries review their defense needs, technology innovators are transforming the landscape of solutions that national security and defense agencies can consider to address complex threats. In this post, we’ll explore how strategic partnerships between cloud providers like AWS and defense innovators can unlock the full potential of these disruptive technologies for NATO and its member countries.

In today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, the technological edge isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity. We’re thrilled to share a milestone that will transform how our government customers harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI): AWS is the first cloud provider to achieve FedRAMP High and Department of Defense (DoD) Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide Impact Level 4 and 5 authorizations for Anthropic’s Claude and Meta’s Llama AI foundation models.

Healthcare systems around the world are facing unprecedented challenges, from addressing chronic conditions to supporting aging populations and addressing emerging health threats, and it has become unmistakably clear that technology is no longer just a support function—it’s a force-multiplier that can transform health outcomes. At AWS, we’ve witnessed a remarkable shift as health agencies worldwide increasingly choose cloud computing to drive innovation, enhance research capabilities, and ultimately, improve patient outcomes.

Drawing on the extensive experience AWS has in partnering with public sector organizations worldwide, here are four transformative steps agencies can take to drive meaningful modernization and shape the future of government service delivery.
