Story

AWS shipped Policy in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to general availability across 13 regions. The breakthrough: security teams can write agent-to-tool access rules in plain English, which auto-convert to Cedar policies with automated reasoning that catches overly permissive or unsatisfiable conditions. Policy operates outside agent code — no modifications needed. Every enforcement decision is logged to CloudWatch. This is the first hyperscaler to ship declarative, production-grade agent governance as infrastructure. What to do: If you're deploying agents on AWS, start writing Cedar policies today. This is the "IAM for agents" moment. AWS Blog
