🔧 Amazon announces that Aurora DSQL now integrates with AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) to enable controlled resilience testing for applications that depend on Aurora DSQL. Customers can simulate regional connectivity disruptions and full inaccessibility to validate failover, reconnection, and recovery behaviours across single-Region and multi-Region deployments. Experiment templates can be included in CI pipelines and FIS generates detailed reports that can be stored in Amazon S3 for auditing and compliance. The capability is available in multiple AWS Regions.

🛠 AWS now supports resilience testing for S3 Express One Zone using AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS), enabling simulated network disruptions that cause data plane requests to timeout for directory buckets. The FIS network disruption action is included in the AZ Availability: Power Interruption scenario and is available in all Regions where the storage class is offered. You can run experiments via the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or the FIS API to validate monitoring, recovery procedures, and improve application resilience; consult FIS pricing for cost details.

🔐A DEF CON 33 panel argued that while digital tactics like misinformation and cyberattacks can disrupt systems, they rarely win wars on their own. Panelists emphasised that cyber effects tend to be temporary, whereas kinetic attacks inflict longer-lasting physical damage. Using a Taco Bell supply-chain analogy and real incidents such as Change Healthcare, the discussion urged organisations to map dependencies and build resilience to mitigate third-party risk.

📢 CISA, in partnership with SAFECOM and NCSWIC, released an updated Emergency Communications System Lifecycle Planning Guide and companion Lifecycle Planning Tool on July 2, 2025. The suite refreshes the 2011 and 2018 materials and incorporates public safety practitioners' experiences to inform system build, maintenance, operation, decommission, and replacement decisions. The Lifecycle Guide offers recommendations and the Lifecycle Planning Tool provides checklists for each lifecycle phase. Resources and funding guidance are aligned to help jurisdictions plan technology upgrades.
