Amazon Web Services<\/a> (AWS) has announced a range of new security capabilities at AWS re:Inforce, its annual cloud security conference. The event brings together global security experts, partners, and developers to address growing cybersecurity challenges in the generative AI<\/a> era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As organizations face increasingly complex threats, AWS revealed a dozen new tools aimed at strengthening cloud defenses and simplifying security management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the key services announced was AWS Security Hub. This service helps customers detect and prioritize threats to their systems. Acting as a central security command center, it connects alerts from various sources to provide a unified view. Security Hub is now available in preview to AWS customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another major update came to AWS Shield, which now proactively identifies security configuration issues. It maps customer resources and spots vulnerabilities to common attacks like SQL injection and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS). The tool includes a severity-based dashboard and step-by-step instructions for fixing issues. Users can also get help from Amazon Q, AWS\u2019s generative AI assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, Amazon GuardDuty has expanded its Extended Threat Detection (XTD) to include container-based applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This update allows for deeper threat detection by analyzing audit logs, runtime behavior, and AWS activity. It can now identify complex, multi-stage cyberattacks, enabling faster and more accurate threat response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key updates revealed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n AWS also reported that it now enforces multi-factor authentication for all root users across every AWS account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company emphasized that strong security is critical for enabling innovation. By offering deeper visibility, streamlined operations, and proactive protection, AWS aims to help customers scale confidently and securely in the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These announcements underscore AWS\u2019s commitment to building robust cloud security tools that support business growth with minimal complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a range of new […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":99329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1595,9621],"tags":[1051],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-99316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","category-emerging-technologies","tag-vendors","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AWS-25.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Lubna","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/lubna\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n
