Air Force picks Colorado for more Space Force missions as politics loom over headquarters decision

The Air Force has announced the permanent location for many more U.S. Space Force units — and none of them are in Huntsville, Alabama. This suggests the service may be moving ahead with at least part of the design it originally sought for the new force before it became entangled in politics. Four more Space Force missions will now be based in Colorado Springs, a notable choice during a larger and now politicized battle over where to locate the permanent headquarters of U.S. Space Command. Colorado Springs, which is housing Space Command’s temporary headquarters, was the Air Force’s preferred location. But Donald Trump, in the final days of his presidency, selected Alabama instead.

Trellix, Netskope announce new Amazon Security Lake support to enhance threat detection, remediation

Cybersecurity vendors Trellix and Netskope have announced new support for Amazon Security Lake from AWS, which became generally available on May 30. Trellix customers can now integrate their security data lake into the Trellix XDR security operations platform to enhance detection and response capabilities for their AWS environments. Meanwhile, Netskope customers can export logs from the Netskope Intelligent Security Service Edge (SSE) platform to Amazon Security Lake to improve visibility and threat remediation. AWS launched Amazon Security Lake in November last year at the AWS re:Invent 2022 conference. The service automatically centralizes security data from cloud and on-premises sources into a purpose-built data lake in a customer’s AWS account. It uses the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) standard to normalize security data from AWS and combine it with dozens of pre-integrated third-party security data sources.
