In support of advancing secure information sharing across agencies and allied nations, including efforts tied to AUKUS Pillar 2, Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) recently achieved Trusted Secure Enclave (TSE) Vetted Partner status from Amazon Web Services (AWS). This premier designation is awarded to organizations that meet the highest standards for secure enclave design and deployment.
At the core of this designation is the Leidos Secure Environment (LSE), a cloud-based, automated infrastructure and governance platform built on AWS TSE. LSE enables secure collaboration across multi-organization and international environments, allowing global teams to jointly conduct design, research, and development for sensitive workloads and data.
“Achieving AWS Vetted Partner status validates our leadership in building secure cloud architectures for the world’s most complex missions,” said Kevin Fogarty, senior vice president and chief technology officer for the Commercial and International Sector at Leidos. “Solutions like LSE provide an ideal foundation for AUKUS information sharing, which requires highly secure policy-driven collaboration that can be delivered at speed and scale.”
“As a TSE Vetted Partner, Leidos delivers trusted, innovative solutions powered by AWS’s secure, proven cloud infrastructure,” said John Nicely, global national security and defense at AWS. “Our collaboration enables LSE’s rapid, secure infrastructure deployment — while maintaining the highest standards of verification and compliance — to help safeguard nations and allies when time is of the essence.”
As global missions grow more interconnected, the ability to securely share information across agencies and allied nations is essential. This achievement positions Leidos at the forefront of enabling trusted and cross-border collaboration and technology modernization efforts.
