Portfolio Details

Project Overview:

Unified Techs partnered with a client facing significant challenges due to an outdated IT infrastructure. This setup created inefficient processes, disparate systems, and security vulnerabilities that reduced productivity and exposed the organization to cyber threats. The project aimed to modernize the client’s technology stack, improve data management, and implement advanced cybersecurity measures leveraging AWS services and industry best practices (learn more about AWS security best practices).

Challenges:

The client’s existing IT environment presented several issues:

• Inefficient processes caused by outdated technology.

• Disparate systems leading to poor integration and weak data management.

• Security vulnerabilities increasing exposure to cyber threats.

• Lack of comprehensive cybersecurity measures and modern IT solutions.

Objectives:

Solution Design and Implementation:

Unified Techs applied a multifaceted approach to address the client’s needs:

• Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Automated code analysis identified vulnerabilities early in the development cycle, enabling quick remediation.

• Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Managed open-source components and dependencies to mitigate risks from third-party vulnerabilities.

• Threat Modeling: Identified and evaluated potential threats, then developed strategies to reduce risk and improve system resilience.

• Architected AWS Security Solutions: Designed and implemented cloud-specific security architectures following AWS best practices.

• AWS Well-Architected Framework: Assessed workloads against the framework’s security, reliability, performance, and cost optimization pillars. Applied recommendations to improve the AWS environment’s security posture.

• Serverless Security: Implemented cybersecurity measures tailored to serverless architectures, including secure authentication, authorization, and data protection.

• Managed Identity and Access Management (IAM): Defined and enforced least-privilege access policies for AWS resources, managing users, roles, and permissions effectively.

Outcomes:
