Macquarie University today announced a significant advancement in its digital transformation journey, partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to create a modern, cloud-first environment that will revolutionize its technology infrastructure and services delivery.

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.

Amazon today announced it will launch its second Secret Cloud Region in 2025. The new AWS Secret-West Region will be accredited to support workloads up to the U.S. Secret classification level. With two regions accredited at the Secret level, defense and national security customers and partners can deploy multi-Region architectures, achieving even higher levels of resiliency and availability essential to their critical missions and enabling AI innovation.

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.

The University of British Columbia (UBC) Cloud Innovation Centre (CIC) has become a hub for innovation by prototyping generative AI applications in collaboration with public sector sponsors. This post highlights how the UBC CIC uses AWS to accelerate generative AI development, sharing lessons learned, tools used, and actionable insights you can apply to your projects.

In this post, we discuss the crucial factors public safety agencies should consider when choosing a generative AI provider and explain how AWS can enable a secure, protected system.

Nonprofit organizations face unique security challenges due to their resource constraints and prioritization of mission-focused initiatives. In this blog post, we discuss Amazon Web Services (AWS) security best practices to accelerate mission impact and demonstrate how upfront security investments can both improve security and save time on redundant processes in the long run.

In this post, we explore an innovative solution—developed by Booz Allen, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Services Partner—that uses Amazon Bedrock-powered generative artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the decision-making process for system changes.
