Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that AWS GovCloud (U.S.) and all U.S. AWS Regions have received an Agency Authority to Operate (ATO) from the Department of Health and Human Services. This is a major step forward in the legitimization of cloud as a secure and capable application deployment platform. Forrester expects this trend to accelerate, as security becomes a critical selling feature and a key evaluation point from the buy-side. This is very good news for companies hungry to get into the cloud.”]
