The Challenge
As Photosynth's business grew, so did the complexity of its AWS cloud infrastructure, which supports its Akerun services. Managing increasing services and resources became critical as Akerun provides and secures digital keys—an essential part of its customers' operations.
However, the company encountered significant challenges:
- Resource Limitations: A lack of dedicated security personnel created pressure on existing teams.
- Workload Overload: Monitoring security events and responding to alerts added to an already demanding operational environment.
- Scalability Concerns: Ensuring robust security measures for a growing service required more expertise and capacity than the team could manage alongside core business operations.
The Solution
Recognizing the need for a future-ready security framework, Photosynth selected Cyber Security Cloud's product, CloudFastener, for its tailored and comprehensive approach to cloud security. Key factors driving this decision included:
- Expert Support: Access to a dedicated security team offering active operational support beyond simple tool implementation.
- Customizable Solutions: The flexibility to define which security functions to manage in-house versus outsource.
- Deep Expertise: Extensive operational knowledge of cloud security services and best practices.
The Results
By partnering with Cyber Security Cloud, Photosynth achieved:
- Effortless Security Monitoring: Cyber Security Cloud now manages time-intensive tasks like alert triage and investigation, removing the operational burden from Photosynth’s team.
- Enhanced Focus on Core Business: Freed from daily security distractions, the team can dedicate more resources to enhancing Akerun’s value.
- Improved Service Quality: With Cyber Security Cloud’s support, Photosynth ensures its customers benefit from a safer and more secure AWS cloud infrastructure.
