The Challenge

The client needed a comprehensive review to identify security gaps and vulnerabilities within their AWS cloud environment. These gaps could potentially lead to data breaches and hinder their ability to effectively track and respond to security incidents.

Customised Security Review

A one-size-fits-all approach wouldn’t suffice. We designed a customized AWS security review specifically tailored to the client’s unique infrastructure design and workloads. This review took into account their specific business use cases to ensure a thorough and relevant assessment

Focus on Design & Workloads

The security review went beyond a generic checklist. We meticulously examined the client’s AWS account configuration, focusing on the design choices and the specific workloads running within the environment. This in-depth analysis allowed us to pinpoint vulnerabilities that might have been missed by a more generic approach.

Rapid Remediation

Our solution didn’t stop at identification. We believe in prompt action. We assisted the client in swiftly deploying the necessary fixes to address the security gaps discovered during the review. This ensured that the newfound security posture was implemented efficiently and effectively within their AWS workloads.
