In particular, the rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI) presents an extraordinary opportunity for transformative innovation. For the U.S. government, this moment marks a crucial inflection point: embrace bold modernization of digital infrastructure and AI investment or risk being outpaced by global competitors.

Data Review & Transfer Component (DRTC) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a seamless solution to review, approve, and automate sensitive data transfer requests into and out of secure enclaves. In this post, we take you through the benefits of using DRTC to review data and other research artifacts for sensitivity prior to transfer into and out of these secure environments, in particular Trusted Research Environments (TREs).

National security and defense depend upon close collaboration between international allies. To protect sensitive data and promote robust cybersecurity frameworks, organizations must consider one another’s compliance requirements. One such requirement is the United States International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which restricts and controls the export of defense and military-related technologies in order to safeguard US national security. Here, we set out how an innovation called Trusted Secure Enclaves (TSE) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) allows non-US national organizations who want to use the most modern and innovative technology to deliver defense and security missions using the cloud can do this and be compliant.
