Siemens Strengthens Security and Enhances Productivity Using AWS
Global technology company Siemens modernized its security infrastructure on AWS and achieved a centralized dashboard of security findings from across the company. Its previous system required the security team to gather data manually from various sources, which made it difficult to respond to issues quickly. The company migrated to a suite of AWS services, including AWS Security Hub, integrating them with its existing security tools. As a result, it implemented automatic notifications, enhanced productivity, and strengthened its overall security posture while improving communication.
