Amazon strikes deal with UK spy agencies to host top-secret material
The UK’s three spy agencies have contracted AWS, Amazon’s cloud computing arm, to host classified material in a deal aimed at boosting the use of data analytics and artificial intelligence for espionage. The procurement of a high-security cloud system has been championed by GCHQ, the UK’s signals intelligence body, and will be used by sister services MI5 and MI6, as well as other government departments such as the Ministry of Defence during joint operations.
GCHQ told the Financial Times it would not discuss its business relationships with technology suppliers. AWS declined to comment.
