The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen Ascon, a group of cryptographic  algorithms, to protect data generated by small devices. Ascon’s algorithms will be published as NIST’s lightweight cryptography standard later in 2023. The chosen algorithms are designed to protect information created and transmitted by the IoT, including its myriad tiny sensors …

AWS Network Firewall now supports tag-based resource groups to simplify management of your firewall rules. AWS Network Firewall is a managed firewall service that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for all your Amazon VPCs. With this launch, you can tag and filter AWS resources to centrally manage and reference sets of resources in your stateful firewall rules, instead of manually updating your rule groups every time you make changes to a set of resources.

ENA Express now supports 15 new instances including: C6i.32xlarge, C6i.metal, C6id.32xlarge, C6id.metal, M6i.32xlarge, M6i.metal, M6id.32xlarge, M6id.metal, R6i.32xlarge, R6i.metal, R6id.32xlarge, R6id.metal, i4i.32xlarge, i4i.metal, and im4gn.16xlarge. Customers using these instances today can now enable ENA Express with a simple configuration. ENA Express is a networking feature that uses the AWS Scalable Reliable Datagram (SRD) protocol to improve network performance in two key ways: higher single flow bandwidth and lower tail latency for network traffic between EC2 instances. SRD is a proprietary protocol that delivers these improvements through advanced congestion control, multi-pathing, and packet reordering directly from the Nitro card. 

Starting today, AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) is available for use in the AWS Asia Pacific (Melbourne) Region.

Database Activity Streams (DAS) now supports Amazon RDS for SQL Server to provide a near real-time stream of database activities for auditing and compliance purposes. You can integrate DAS with your monitoring tools in order to monitor and set alarms for auditing the database activity. You can also connect Amazon Kinesis Data Stream to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to save stream logs in a user readable format to S3 . You can enable DAS with only a few clicks in the AWS Console to provide safeguards for your databases and help you meet compliance and regulatory requirements. 

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for Amazon DynamoDB now supports AWS CloudFormation for DynamoDB global tables, which means you can enable streaming to an Amazon Kinesis data stream on your DynamoDB global tables with CloudFormation templates. By streaming your DynamoDB data changes to a Kinesis data stream, you can build advanced streaming applications with Amazon Kinesis services. For example, Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics reduces the complexity of building, managing, and integrating with Apache Flink and provides built-in functions to filter, aggregate, and transform streaming data for advanced analytics. You also can use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to take advantage of managed streaming delivery of DynamoDB table data to other AWS services such as Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon S3.
