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 isolation 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.
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).
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.
Ed Taps The Chips Act
I have decided to throw my weight as a former semiconductor CEO and now HM Secretary of State for Industry and Commerce behind the Americans in their bid to regain chip manufacturing competitiveness, Ed confides to his diary. As the US Chips Act moves into its implementation stage, the agencies responsible for dispensing its $250 …

Nukes
Back in January, the US, Russia, China, the UK and France jointly agreed that “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought”. Now though, with increasingly threatening rhetoric from Russia, U.S. President Biden has said that Putin is “not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons“, warning: “I …

EMF vs potential difference…. my head hurts
I have been asked to demonstrate some electrical things to a GCSE student. One of the things on the syllabus is potential difference, and another is EMF – electromotive force. I had always assumed that they were two sides of the same coin, possibly using language created from two different directions during the Dark Ages …

Vulcan Centaur rocket launching first satellites for Amazon’s Project Kuiper
Project Kuiper, Amazon’s satellite broadband service, finally takes shape with a date for the launch of two prototype satellites, Kuipersat-1 and -2. The satellites will be launched, in “early 2023”, on United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) new Vulcan Centaur rocket and they will test system performance in space. Amazon has been planning to launch a constellation …
