When it comes to mitigating information risk, organizations across industry segments now understand the importance of building, releasing and managing software in a secure fashion. Proactive management of security, across the software development lifecycle, is especially critical for those organizations which are either moving applications to the cloud or which offer cloud based services.
Amazon Web Services provides an excellent platform for cloud applications with a solid security framework that includes essential features like encrypted data storage, identity management, secure access control etc. In addition to designing, building and testing secure software, organizations building cloud applications need to use these essential security features as required. Cloud based applications are exposed to additional threats due to multi-tenant, agile and open nature of this business model. Therefore, for most organizations which aim to benefit from the cloud model, it becomes a basic requirement to assure clients, prospects and users that the cloud application is secure.
Aujas’s SDL (Secure Development Lifecycle) approach is focused on building security an integral part of the Software Development Life Cycle. This approach has consistently enabled clients to mitigate and manage information risks. Over the years, several of our clients who use both the cloud model and AWS, have benefited from our comprehensive software security approach. A recent example is a San Francisco based company developing software products for large scale genome information processing. As they transformed their platform on AWS, Aujas SDL experts helped them design and architect a security control framework.
We are now an official Amazon Consulting Partner, and this provides us a robust platform to address the requirements of clients in the AWS ecosystem. We are excited to be part of the AWS network, which endorses the same value that we have delivered to our clients; as it is an important perquisite from Amazon. We thank our clients for the opportunity to be part of their information security journey, which has enabled us to be a part of the Amazon platform.
As I think about cloud services, "You will be Assimilated; Resistance is Futile" comes to mind. Organizations would not be able to stay away from this transformation, the benefits are too good to resist. Let’s transform in a secure way!
