AWS will extend its cloud services to additional defense agencies under the DoD Cloud Security Model for the first and second impact levels, AWS said Wednesday.
Teresa Carlson, vice president of the worldwide public sector at AWS, said the company intends for the services to fulfill DoD’s additional requirements on cloud products.
The security model is based on the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program.
