Security solutions for government workloads 

Government agencies and public sector organizations need rapidly deployable and dependable security solutions to support their missions. To respond, Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched the Security Solutions for Government Workloads initiative under the Authority to Operate (ATO) on AWS Program. This initiative works with Public Sector partners, members of the AWS Partner Network (APN), to develop security solutions designed to meet the unique security and compliance requirements of public sector workloads.

The Security Solutions for Government Workloads initiative provides six different partner-designed offerings to support remote workforce security and web portal security for customer workloads.

AWS Public Sector Partners configure and manage these repeatable packages. This model enables global scalability and availability while supporting localized customizations for unique markets.
