<p>Las Vegas this week welcomed more than 60,000 attendees for <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchcloudcomputing/conference/A-conference-guide-to-AWS-reInvent”>AWS re:Invent</a>, and the message was clear: AWS wants to be the platform of choice for the agentic era. In fact, CEO Matt Garman opened the keynote describing AWS as secure, available and resilient planet-scale infrastructure that is unmatched anywhere. “Security is priority one for us,” he said. “Everything is built on that foundation.”</p>
<p>While AWS made dozens of announcements in areas including analytics, AI, storage, compute, migration and modernization, there were just a handful of announcements for security and compliance. However, many of the announcements have important security implications. Here is a rundown of key takeaways for security teams supporting cloud workloads.</p>

For enterprises, this has meant efforts to lift and shift workloads to the cloud to reap their benefits, and efforts to use cloud platforms for new workloads, saving organizations from needing to provision hardware and computing infrastructure.</p>
<p>Cloud services have also given rise to new generations of born-in-the-cloud companies, providing the advantages of being able to scale and innovate faster than larger companies with legacy systems and hardware.
