Cisco Security Cloud uses Anchore to achieve FedRAMP compliance for its cloud solutions. Anchore integrates with Cisco’s AWS CodePipeline, Amazon ECR registry, and Amazon EKS to scan containers throughout the pipeline, enforcing vulnerability policies. Its integration allowed Cisco to expand Anchore to Amazon ECS and generate software bill of materials for the cybersecurity executive order. The comprehensive Anchore solution on AWS strengthened Cisco’s regulated security posture.

Business intelligence (BI) teams aim to automate Amazon QuickSight asset deployment across environments. CyberCX developed a solution using AWS Step Functions to orchestrate exporting QuickSight analyses from one environment and importing them to another, simplifying migration. This reusable module integrates with CyberCX’s broader serverless data platform but can standalone. The entire solution is designed with security in mind and follows the principles of least privilege access.

With increasing cloud innovation, distributed teams need visibility into their deployed cloud resources, dependencies, and budgets when architecting new applications or reconfiguring existing solutions. Cloudcraft by Datadog helps companies achieve this cross-team alignment and enables teams to visualize and document architectures, analyze costs, run compliance audits through shareable diagrams, and automate diagram updates as infrastructure evolves.

Many enterprises still rely on the Adabas database and Natural programming language for critical workloads, facing rising license costs and a shrinking talent pool. To reduce reliance on these aging technologies and enable digital transformation, companies are modernizing to AWS with Advanced’s solutions. Advanced offers automated refactoring of Natural code to Java/C# and replatforming to execute Natural on Windows, along with migrating Adabas databases to modern relational databases.

Explore how LenelS2, a Carrier company, transformed its existing OnGuard thick-client application into a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution on AWS utilizing the multi-session feature of Amazon AppStream 2.0. With this approach, LenelS2 successfully streamed the OnGuard desktop application to users via the internet without the need to redesign the core application.

Integrating security scanning into infrastructure as code (IaC) allows detecting misconfigurations early in development. This post explores using the KICS plugin from Checkmarx with AWS CDK. Learn how KICS performs static code analysis to find vulnerabilities and compliance issues in IaC and scans the CDK code to report findings, failing the command for high-severity issues. This shifts security left, mitigating risks in deployed infrastructure.

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) allow quick deployment of EC2 instances, but managing multiple customized AMIs is complex. Stratus10’s Image Management Solution automates and streamlines AMI building, testing, and deployment using EC2 Image Builder. It provides consistency, integrates with current processes, reduces costs, and improves security. By eliminating manual processes, engineering teams can focus on innovation while hardened images ensure best practices.

Leveraging AWS Lambda response streaming functionality enables progressive data delivery from large datasets, enhancing web application performance. This post compares a traditional API implementation to a Lambda streaming API, demonstrating reduced time-to-first-byte latency and quicker, more dynamic client-side rendering. By incrementally sending data, response streaming eliminates lag from waiting on entire dataset transfers, vastly improving user experience for data-intensive applications.

Noventiq developed uDMS, a smart document management system hosted on AWS serverless architecture that removes the need to manage servers while ensuring scalability, cost-efficiency, and global accessibility. uDMS offers easy document tracking, metadata templating, workflow notifications, version control, and integrates well with other systems. It demonstrates how a serverless architecture can enable rapid deployment and modernization of legacy document management systems.
