Overview

Forward-leading organizations are embracing security advisory services on their journey to the cloud. They are refactoring apps to become more modular and containerized. Organizations understand that the success of this change depends on being secure and compliant. While cloud providers offer benefits to your organization such as reducing operational overhead, security readiness must be considered:

Customer shared responsibility of managing security and compliance
Architectural complexities to enable proper security
Misconfiguration risk due to teams having varying levels of security and cloud skills
Alert fatigue with mounting sets of log data

IBM Consulting has innovative and proven ways to manage your cloud security strategy, policies, and controls across AWS Cloud, or hybrid cloud environments. These services bring together cloud-native and third-party technologies along with IBM expertise to help you create a unified security approach across your cloud ecosystems.

This assessment is performed within a 2-week period and provides a comprehensive analysis of:

Your existing cloud architecture, account structure including subscriptions and resource tagging for security implementation
