Last week, what excited me most was the launch of the 2026 AWS AI & ML Scholars program by Swami Sivasubramanian, VP of AWS Agentic AI, to provide free AI education to up to 100,000 learners worldwide. The program has two phases: a Challenge phase where you’ll learn foundational generative AI skills, followed by a […]

Cybersecurity in 2026 is defined by a quiet but profound shift: the collapse of trust in identity as a security boundary. For decades, enterprise defense strategies were built on a simple premise to keep attackers out, and trust what gets in. That model is no longer holding. Across industries, recent incidents are converging on the […]

In August 2025, we introduced AWS User Experience Customization (UXC) capability to tailor user interfaces (UIs) to meet your specific needs and complete your tasks efficiently. With this capability, your account administrator can customize some UI component of AWS Management Console, such as assigning a color to an AWS account for easier identification. Today, we’re announcing […]

At re:Invent 2025, Colin Lazier, vice president of databases at AWS, emphasized the importance of building at the speed of an idea—enabling rapid progress from concept to running application. Customers can already create production-ready Amazon DynamoDB tables and Amazon Aurora DSQL databases in seconds. He previewed creating an Amazon Aurora serverless database with the same […]

Is it possible to truly be alone in a room that is always listening for your presence? The off button was once a definitive boundary. When you closed a laptop or placed a phone face down, you ceased to be a data source. Ambient computing removes that choice by embedding technology into the physical environment. […]

There’s a moment most people have, somewhere between the third and fifth conversation with a good AI chatbot, where something clicks. The response was too good. Too on point. Too… understanding. And a little voice says: maybe there’s something actually there. There isn’t. And the gap between that feeling and reality is quietly responsible for […]

If your company had a fire tomorrow, your property insurance would cover the damage. If a delivery van hit someone, your liability insurance would step in. There is a version of insurance for almost every physical risk a business faces. Cybersecurity insurance which is sometimes called cyber liability insurance is the same idea applied to […]

Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol became the connective tissue of enterprise AI in under 18 months. Security came later. The CVE count is now the evidence. Anthropic introduced the Model Context Protocol in November 2024. They called it the USB-C for AI applications. The framing was accurate. Like USB-C, it standardized a connection layer that everyone […]
