AWS has expanded access to its Secret Cloud, allowing eligible U.S. defense contractors to securely develop, deploy, and operate classified workloads alongside government agencies. The platform supports workloads up to the U.S. Secret classification level and meets Department of Defense and Intelligence Community security requirements.
By extending access beyond government organizations, AWS enables contractors to collaborate more effectively on mission-critical applications, including AI, analytics, and software development, within a shared classified environment.
AWS says the expansion improves operational resilience, accelerates innovation for defense programs, and strengthens secure collaboration across the broader national security and defense industrial base.
