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.

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.

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.

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.

Learn how the Login.gov team implemented a robust long-term log retention system that solved multiple architectural challenges while using Amazon Web Services (AWS) account-level subscription filters to provide capabilities that other approaches couldn’t match.

This post explains how to build exactly that using Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock. The entire solution runs in about 200 lines of Python code, and you can have it working on your computer after completing the pre-requisite steps.

In this post, you will learn how the Maritime Cloud Environment (MCE) addresses these challenges by offering suppliers a secure, compliant, Navy-provided Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud environment for digital engineering collaboration.

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 […]

This post distills how one Amazon Web Services (AWS) customer in the defense and aerospace industry interpreted the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and concluded that U.S. commercial AWS Regions could support their export-controlled workloads, including AI workloads, when configured appropriately.

Learn how AWS partnered with the University of Michigan’s Center for Global Health Equity (CGHE), the Michigan Institute for Data & AI in Society (MIDAS), SmithGroup, and Ecosystems, Finance and Health (EFH) to co-sponsor the AI for Urban Heat Resilience Hackathon — a two-day event built around a deceptively simple question: Can machine learning generate thermal imagery from standard RGB photographs?
