There’s some big news that was just announced regarding AWS. The word on the street, the Techcrunch street that is – AWS has acquired Harvest.ai, a security startup. Supposedly, AWS is “ramping up its security chops.” I wouldn’t call them chops, there more like kabobs because AWS is very skinny on the security feature set. Harvest.ai provides AI-based DLP which helps prevent theft of data and intellectual property. All kidding aside, security is not a core strength of AWS. Never will be unless they pluck down some serious money in buying startups – something like $1B would be a start.
