While Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS)-compliant workloads can run in standard US AWS Regions, some Justice and Public Safety (JPS) agencies may choose AWS GovCloud (US) for their sensitive workloads. These organizations can securely access cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) models from AWS Standard US Regions through FIPS-validated endpoints ensuring that all data is securely encrypted with FIPS 140-3 encryption as required by CJIS. This access can maintain CJIS compliance through secure cross-partition connectivity.

Modern warfare has evolved into a data-driven domain where success often depends on the ability to collect, process, and act on information faster than adversaries.
