Amazon Web Services Announces Secret Cloud Region For CIA

• nextgov.com

The AWS Secret Region will allow the 17 intelligence agencies to host, analyze and run applications on government data classified at the secret level through the company's $600 million C2S contract, brokered several years ago with the CIA. AWS already provides a region for the intelligence community's top secret data.

"Today we mark an important milestone as we launch the AWS Secret Region," said Teresa Carlson, vice president of AWS Worldwide Public Sector. "AWS now provides the U.S. intelligence community a commercial cloud capability across all classification levels: unclassified, sensitive, secret and top secret. The U.S. intelligence community can now execute their missions with a common set of tools, a constant flow of the latest technology and the flexibility to rapidly scale with the mission."
