Starting today, Amazon Detective automatically groups related GuardDuty findings to help security analysts reduce triage time and create a more comprehensive security investigation. Detective uses machine learning (ML) to group related GuardDuty findings that in insolation may have been ignored but together show the lifecycle of an attack, which can help security analysts identify advanced threats more easily. Available under the Summary page, Detective shows groups of related GuardDuty findings with severity, all affected AWS accounts, and resources. In addition, Detective maps the evolution of findings to tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) from the MITRE ATT&CK framework - a well adopted framework for security and threat detection.
New FreeRTOS Long Term Support version released
Today, we are excited to announce the second release of FreeRTOS Long Term Support (LTS) - FreeRTOS 202210.00 LTS. This release includes new libraries such as AWS IoT Fleet Provisioning and Cellular LTE-M Interface for easier device provisioning and cellular connectivity. It also includes coreMQTT and FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP libraries with improved modularity and robustness. All libraries included in this FreeRTOS LTS version, summarized in this post, will receive security and critical bug fixes until October 2024. With an LTS release, you can continue to maintain your existing FreeRTOS code base and avoid any potential disruptions resulting from FreeRTOS version upgrades.
AWS Database Migration Service now supports C6i and R6i instances
AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) now supports Amazon EC2 C6i and R6i instance types. These instances are powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz, offering up to 15% better compute price performance over comparable Generation5 instances for a wide variety of workloads, and always-on memory encryption using Intel Total Memory Encryption (TME).
Announcing increased AWS IAM Identity Center default quota values
AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) now supports higher default quotas to help you scale your environment. With the increased quota you can create and assign up to 2,000 permission sets in an Identity Center instance. You can also assign up to 100,000 users and 100,000 groups to as many as 3,000 applications and accounts (combined) that are accessible via the AWS access portal.
Refit transforms to prepare data at scale with Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler
Today, we are excited to announce support to refit transforms with Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler. To make data usable by algorithms such as XgBoost, data scientists must transform non-numeric values to numeric values using transforms such as one-hot encoding. Since transforms like one-hot encoding depend on the data, these transforms are frequently referred to as fitted transforms. These transforms must be updated or re-fitted to account for changes in the data as data continues to change over time. Additionally, when working on a sample data set, transforms must be updated to account for changes between a sample data set and the larger data set. Use of transforms like one-hot encoding generates additional information, which needs to be tracked and captured in the data preparation pipeline. Omitting or incorrectly tracking this information can lead to errors in the data preparation process. Without support to refit transforms, many data scientists did not have an easy way to specify when to use a fitted version of a transform or to refit their transform on new data. Data scientists also lacked an easy way to generate updated versions of their transformation pipelines when refitting on new datasets.
