Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is Amazon's cloud computing platform, and it hosts a large share of the AI models, training data, and applications that enterprises now depend on. For governance teams, AWS matters because its shared responsibility model means the customer remains accountable for how data is secured, configured, and used, even when the underlying infrastructure is run by the provider. News coverage under this tag typically covers AWS's AI services, its compliance certifications, regulatory actions involving the platform, and security incidents that affect customers.

AWS Strands Box Raises the Bar for Agent Behavioral Containment

Amazon Web Services has released Strands Box in developer preview, an open-source tool that enforces behavioral policies on AI agents at the operating system level. It intercepts agent actions across shell commands, Python scripts, and connections to external tool services. Organizations can set limits such as blocking network requests or capping the rate at which an agent can post messages. Analysts note it complements but does not replace access management, monitoring, and human oversight controls.
