Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon OpenSearch Service have launched a new dashboard that simplifies the analysis of AWS Network Firewall logs. Previously, in our blog post How to analyze AWS Network Firewall logs using Amazon OpenSearch Service we demonstrated the required services and steps to create an OpenSearch dashboard. The new dashboard removes these extra steps […]

Following our recent announcement of ML-DSA support in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), we just introduced post-quantum ML-DSA signature support in AWS Private Certificate Authority (AWS Private CA). Customers can use AWS Private CA to create and manage their own private public key infrastructure (PKI) hierarchies. Through this integration, you can establish and use […]

Application authorization is a critical component of modern software systems, determining what actions users can perform on specific resources. Many organizations have adopted Open Policy Agent (OPA) with its Rego policy language to implement fine-grained authorization controls across their applications and infrastructure. While OPA has proven effective for policy-as-code implementations, organizations are increasingly looking for […]

AWS Secrets Manager is a service that you can use to manage, retrieve, and rotate database credentials, application credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycles. You can also use Secrets Manager to replace hard-coded credentials in application source code with runtime calls to retrieve credentials dynamically when needed. Managing secrets in Amazon Elastic […]

Recently, AWS released Amazon Bedrock API keys to make calls to the Amazon Bedrock API. In this post, we provide practical security guidance on effectively implementing, monitoring, and managing this new option for accessing Amazon Bedrock to help you build a comprehensive strategy for securing these keys. We also provide guidance on the larger family […]

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails provides configurable safeguards to help you safely build generative AI applications at scale. It offers integrated safety and privacy protections that work across multiple foundation models (FMs), including models available in Amazon Bedrock and models hosted outside Amazon Bedrock from other providers. Bedrock Guardrails currently offers six key safeguards to help prevent […]

As generative AI becomes foundational across industries—powering everything from conversational agents to real-time media synthesis—it simultaneously creates new opportunities for bad actors to exploit. The complex architectures behind generative AI applications expose a large surface area including public-facing APIs, inference services, custom web applications, and integrations with cloud infrastructure. These systems are not immune to […]

October 1, 2025: This post was updated to reflect the new name of Security Hub, which is AWS Security Hub CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management). Security teams must efficiently validate and document exceptions to AWS Security Hub (Cloud Security Posture Management, previously known as Security Hub) findings, while maintaining proper governance. Enterprise security teams need […]

Organizations are increasingly using large language models (LLMs) to provide new types of customer interactions through generative AI-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, and intelligent search capabilities. To enhance these interactions, organizations are using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to incorporate proprietary data, industry-specific knowledge, and internal documentation to provide more accurate, contextual responses. With RAG, LLMs use an […]

AWS Network Firewall is a managed firewall service that filters and controls network traffic in Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Unlike traditional network controls such as security groups or network access control lists (NACLs), Network Firewall can inspect and make decisions based on information from higher layers of the OSI model, including the Transport […]
