    As governments and agencies are increasingly moving sensitive and confidential information to secure cloud regions such as AWS GovCloud, it is essential to pay attention to security vulnerabilities that may exist despite the platform’s compliance with the complex cybersecurity requirements mandated by the U.S. government.
