AWS & WASA: Proactive Security

Problem Statement:

A home inspection company in North America struggles with managing vulnerabilities in legacy and next-gen web applications, as well as infrastructure security, resource optimization, and cost management. Handling significant PII details, these issues expose the company to data breaches, compliance challenges, and operational disruptions, necessitating a robust security strategy and comprehensive cloud management solution.

Solution Overview:

The home inspection company addresses its challenges by implementing AWS Trusted Advisor and Pentest tools. AWS Trusted Advisor provides real-time insights into security configurations, resource optimization, and cost management, ensuring compliance and identifying vulnerabilities. Pentest tools perform regular and ad-hoc scans, including web application and network scanning, to detect security weaknesses in legacy and next-gen applications. Prompt remediation and best practices prevent data breaches and operational disruptions, enhancing overall security.
