AWS, OWASP Announce Secure AI and Cloud Initiatives

At the AWS DC Summit 2025, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced major investments in next-generation, energy-efficient data centers across the U.S., emphasizing AI-driven cloud infrastructure as a strategic national priority. AWS is implementing sustainability initiatives by utilizing recycled and non-potable water in its operations and deploying AI to optimize workload distribution and energy consumption. In application security, AI is advancing automated vulnerability detection and testing, representing a shift to intelligent, context-aware analysis. The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) introduced the Agent Name Service (ANS), a secure, PKI-based protocol for discovering and authenticating AI agents in dynamic environments, addressing the limitations of traditional DNS for agentic AI. These developments underscore the convergence of sustainability, security, and innovation as foundational elements in the emerging cloud and AI landscape.
