Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is announcing two new AWS WickrGov offerings designed to help customers rapidly deploy secure communications capabilities across their organizations.

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.

Last year, AWS launched the AWS Public Sector Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Impact Initiative, a two-year, $50 million investment designed to help public sector organizations accelerate innovation using AWS generative AI services. Today, we’re excited to share the remarkable progress we’ve made and highlight how organizations are utilizing AWS technologies to transform operations and deliver better outcomes for the communities they serve.

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.

In this blog, we introduce AWS Zero Trust Accelerator for Government – Integrated (ZTAG-I), a reference architecture that aligns with federal zero trust guidance. ZTAG-I accelerates adoption of zero trust architecture by providing a tested example of a fully integrated technology stack that solves key challenges that arise when adopting zero trust.

AWS has achieved the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification for the Controlled Working Environment (CWE). This certification enhances our DoD contract support capabilities and demonstrates our cybersecurity commitment.

In this blog post, we’ll share how the Republic of Singapore’s Air Force, with the support of AWS, responded to a specific challenge: how to operate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) in a crowded, complex airspace.

By using the robust capabilities within AWS GovCloud, Trackable Health has developed a comprehensive trackable solution that delivers real-time health and fitness tracking and personalized readiness scores, providing immediate feedback and AI-powered recommendations for improvement. Read this post to learn more about Trackable Health’s solution.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) increasingly relies on commercial efforts to adopt and integrate novel and emerging technologies that are critical for mission success. The modern defense landscape evolves rapidly, and industry collaboration is a key component of success. AWS has risen to the challenge to fulfill this commercial- and collaborative-focused approach to advancing military innovation. Most recently, AWS did so through its participation in the Technology Readiness Experimentation (T-REX) series of events with partner General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT),

When Department of the Air Force (DAF) software factories scale their cloud operations across mission-critical environments, maintaining consistent resource tagging becomes crucial for security, compliance, and operational effectiveness. For organizations like Kessel Run, a unit that provides capabilities within the DAF Battle Network, ensuring compliance while maintaining rapid deployment capabilities is essential for delivering capabilities to warfighters. In this post, we discuss a solution that enabled Kessel Run to enforce tagging standards at resource creation while supporting their complex deployment patterns.
