The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) awarded PROTECTED certification to AWS for 42 cloud services in the AWS Asia-Pacific (Sydney) Region. This is the highest data security certification available in Australia for the cloud, and AWS has the most PROTECTED services of any public cloud service provider. This session will cover the services that were certified, a reference architecture that allows you to build applications which handle highly sensitive government data, and the benefits this provides to public sector and commercial organisations in Australia. Presenter: Dr. John Hildebrandt, Senior Solutions Architect, AWS
