At California Community Colleges (CCC), administrators estimate that nearly one in five applications is fraudulent. That creates a difficult choice for the college system, whose core mission is to make higher education as accessible as possible. To intelligently and thoughtfully flag fraud at scale without restricting students’ ability to apply, the CCC turned to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS partner, Pariveda Solutions, to develop a solution. In this blog post, you will learn how CCC and Pariveda built a machine learning (ML)-powered fraud detection and prevention solution that helps identify and manage fraudulent accounts before they reach the campuses.

The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on AWS. AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. Through the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program, customers are making over 300 PB of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use.

The University of Maryland Libraries serves 41,000 students across six physical libraries on its College Park campus. Like many academic institutions, the libraries relied on aging on-premises infrastructure to support their digital services and operations. When the libraries’ IT team faced deteriorating hardware, rising licensing costs, and personnel constraints that threatened operations, they made a strategic decision: retire their data center entirely and transform their infrastructure with AWS.

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.

Defense and national security customers are shifting away from legacy systems toward innovative, best-in-class commercial solutions in the cloud that can provide warfighters a superior technical advantage. Nontraditional defense contractors and commercial companies building these solutions face a challenge: accessing classified IT quickly and cost-effectively. Today, we’re excited to announce a partnership between AWS and Westway Services Group LLC that tackles this challenge head-on.

AWS partners with providers of innovative solutions such as MemVerge, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner, whose Memory Machine Batch (MMBatch) technology complements AWS Batch by providing advanced checkpointing capabilities for EC2 Spot Instances. In this post, we look at how MemVerge’s technology can overcome the challenges of interrupted pipelines by enabling pipelines that were interrupted mid task to start from where they left off, regardless of Spot Instance reclaims. We’ll also show how MemVerge’s Batch Viewer and proven best practices empower researchers to visualize their workloads, identify bottlenecks, and apply smart strategies that make their pipelines more efficient, resilient, and cloud-optimized.

The AI revolution has entered an exhilarating new phase, and AWS is empowering partners to lead this transformation. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of our new agentic AI module within the AWS Partner Transformation Program (PTP), designed to accelerate partners’ capabilities in building autonomous AI solutions. This strategic initiative comes at a crucial time, as number of enterprise applications incorporating agentic AI continues to surge, presenting unprecedented opportunities for innovation in the public sector and beyond.

The City of Atlanta worked with AWS and AWS Partners to modernize its contact center using Amazon Connect.
