Up to 36000 inmates had their information leaked to the public after there was a breach within JailCore. Jailcore is a software program by Amazon that is used by Prison’s across the United States. This breach failed to maintain Confidentiality, as Inmates private information was leaked and released to the public. Some of the information that was released were medical history, first and last name and mugshots. Part of the reason for the breach was because of Amazon recently left their AWS and S3 servers open to the public.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
