# CSPM in AWS

### Challenge

Guiding product teams and managing their cloud resources efficiently while maintaining stringent security and compliance standards is especially important for large enterprises. Working with a Fortune 250 company, Rearc leveraged AWS to alleviate the customer’s significant challenges in solidifying a comprehensive security posture, ensuring continuous compliance with industry standards, and mitigating security risks.

### Solution

- **Strategizing:** conducted a thorough assessment of their current cloud security posture using AWS Well-Architected Tool and AWS Security Hub.
- **Implementation:** implemented Palo Alto Prisma Cloud with full integration to AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config, AWS Security Hub, and AWS Guard Duty.
- **Monitoring:** generated real time alerts, monitored activity via the CSPM dashboard, automated incident escalation via AWS Lambda, and simulated security breach remediation.

### Outcome

- Achieved 100% visibility into the security posture of AWS resources, enabling proactive risk management.
- Implemented robust encryption for all data at rest and in transit, significantly enhancing data protection.
- Successfully demonstrated strong adherence to PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 requirements.
- Reduced the mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) to security incidents.
- Enabled the security team to focus on strategic initiatives rather than manual monitoring and remediation tasks.
