An incident response playbook for satellite operations on AWS (Part-1): Detection and forensic readiness
In this post, the first in a two-part series, we focus on the detection and forensic readiness side of satellite IR. This post walks through instrumenting your ground segment with Amazon Web Services (AWS) security services and AWS Ground Station so that threats surface before they cause damage, and forensic data is already flowing when an incident occurs.
An incident response playbook for satellite operations on AWS (Part-2): Automated response and recovery
This blog covers what to do when those detections fire. Satellite incident response (IR) must account for constraints that ground-based systems never face: containment actions that wait for the next orbital pass, decisions that trade mission continuity against security, and recovery procedures where the compromised endpoint cannot be physically accessed. It walks through containment, eradication, recovery, automated runbooks, and tabletop exercises designed for satellite operations teams.
Resilient public safety connectivity models in AWS
This post explores connectivity patterns that can help JPS agencies build resilient network paths to AWS and align them with common public safety use cases.
Prepare for your GovRAMP Progressing Snapshot with AWS
In this post, we explain what the Progressing Snapshot program is, what the program is for, who it is for, and how Amazon Web Services (AWS) helps you lay the foundation to address many of the 40 snapshot controls.
Preventive controls for FedRAMP 20x: Using SCPs and guardrails to enforce KSIs
Why preventive controls matter for FedRAMP 20x Organizations strengthen their security posture when Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud resources consistently align with security and regulatory requirements. Preventive security controls, which are designed to minimize or avoid threat events, help enforce these requirements before misconfigurations are deployed. In this post, we show how service control policies […]
Can AI Help Our Cities Beat the Heat? Inside the University of Michigan’s AI for Urban Heat Resilience Hackathon
