As we look ahead to 2025, it’s crucial to maintain vigilance, especially during the holiday season, when cybersecurity risks tend to escalate. Many organizations use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance their security posture and improve resilience. In this post, we discuss the AWS best practices for securing your data during the holiday season.

A multi-account strategy is important for Amazon Web Services (AWS) public sector customers because it is the foundation of cloud governance and compliance. Public sector customers using a shared account model can improve security and operational efficiency by adopting a multi-account strategy. In this post, we explore methods for existing AWS public sector customers to prepare for and migrate to a multi-account environment.

From training to supporting the front line, Amazon Web Services (AWS) can provide solutions to help solve the challenges that formations, units, and allies face. More than just providing computer and storage capability in the cloud, AWS can help intelligence, planning and operations teams leverage newer, cost-effective artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), analytics, simulations, and other technologies.

Singapore General Hospital (SGH), SingHealth Office of Academic Informatics (OAI), and Amazon Web Services (AWS) collaborated to develop a cost-effective, scalable cloud infrastructure that enables researchers to perform their own analyses on a centrally secured and compliant cloud platform. AWS HealthOmics offers a suite of services that help bioinformaticians, researchers, and scientists to store, query, analyze, and generate insights from genomic and other biological data. Read this post to learn more about the three primary components of HealthOmics used in the solution.

In January 2020, Amazon Web Services (AWS) inaugurated a Cloud Innovation Centre (CIC) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The CIC uses emerging technologies to solve real-world problems and has produced more than 50 prototypes in sectors like healthcare, education, and research. The Centre’s work has involved 300-plus AWS accounts across various groups, including external collaborators, UBC staff, students, and researchers. This post discusses the management of AWS in higher education institutions, emphasizing governance to securely foster innovation without compromising security and detailing policies and responsibilities for managing AWS accounts across projects and research.

Healthcare organizations worldwide are leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) and partner solutions to modernize, transform, and innovate their businesses. Ensuring the availability and security of critical applications is paramount. For example, two renowned German medical facilities, Fachklinikum Mainschleife and Max Grundig Klinik, needed to modernize their IT infrastructure to comply with stringent regulatory requirements outlined in the country’s Law for Accelerating the Digitalization of Healthcare (DigiG). Reliable and compliant service offerings from AWS enabled the medical facilities to provide reliable access to essential systems.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is continuing its collaboration with Defending Digital Campaigns (DDC) to offer more than 20 cybersecurity-related AWS services for low-to-no cost to all active and registered national party committees and federal candidate campaigns.

In this post, we explore the complexities of data privacy and controls on Amazon Web Services (AWS), examine how creating a landing zone within which to contain such data is important, and highlight the differences between creating a landing zone from scratch compared with using the AWS Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) for Healthcare. To aid explanation, we use a simple healthcare workload as an example. We also explain how LZA for Healthcare codifies HIPAA controls and AWS Security Best Practices to accelerate the creation of an environment to run protective health information workloads in AWS.

In the digital age, universities face increasing cyber threats that put valuable data at risk. The University of New South Wales (UNSW) is taking proactive measures to address this growing concern. Read this blog post to learn how UNSW is collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to modernize its IT infrastructure and bolster cybersecurity defenses as part of its cloud transformation program.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) made more than 140 announcements at re:Invent 2023. In this blog post, we’ll take key announcements from re:Invent and apply them to relevant K12 education use cases. From generative artificial intelligence (AI) to cost optimization, AWS can support your school, district, or educational service agency and enhance both the classroom and administrative experience.
