Claude in Amazon Bedrock: Approved for use in FedRAMP High and DoD IL4/5 workloads (www.anthropic.com)

Anthropic’s Claude models are now approved for use in FedRAMP High and Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level 4 and 5 workloads via Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US). This marks a significant milestone for the AI/ML community, enabling federal agencies and defense organizations to deploy advanced, frontier AI capabilities while fully complying with the most rigorous government cloud security standards for unclassified and controlled unclassified information. With this authorization, Claude models can support critical applications in defense, intelligence, and sensitive civilian operations, where data confidentiality and security are paramount. Amazon Bedrock offers access to Claude 3.5 Sonnet v1 and Claude 3 Haiku models, along with features like Bedrock Agents, Guardrails, Knowledge Bases, and Model Evaluation tools. These capabilities empower users to build customized AI agents that automate complex, multistep tasks and securely handle large-scale data, leveraging Claude’s impressive 200,000-token context window. Importantly, this fully managed service streamlines infrastructure management while maintaining strict security controls. Anthropic and AWS plan to expand model offerings, including future releases like Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude 4, further enhancing AI options for government workloads. Federal users can now integrate Claude through familiar AWS APIs, accelerating secure AI adoption across the public sector and enabling sophisticated intelligence synthesis, document analysis, and controlled data processing in a trusted cloud environment.
