The popularity of utilizing cloud technology to host company applications and store company data has been drastically growing. Many enterprises have migrated their on-premise workloads and storage to the cloud, and many new companies decide to start in the cloud. In fact, Cisco has estimated that 94% of workloads in 2021 will be processed on some sort of cloud data center.

The cloud has been embraced for its reliability and scalability, as well as a breadth of security benefits. However, just because the cloud can be more secure, organizations aren't guaranteed protection from data breaches and security threats. This article dives into how companies can protect themselves and mitigate damage from a variety of security threats.      
 

AWS offers the broadest and deepest set of machine learning services and supporting cloud infrastructure, putting machine learning in the hands of every developer, data scientist and expert practitioner.  To remove the complexity of getting started with machine learning, AWS developed the Sagemaker platform to help customers get started using AI to their advantage, with no experience.

The business potential of artificial intelligence has been on the horizon for decades. But many businesses have found AI hard to implement, or to even start imagining. Thanks to some relatively recent breakthroughs, that potential is being realized now.
