Client Profile
A multinational enterprise operating in finance, healthcare, and e-commerce, leveraging hybrid and multi-cloud environments for scalable application deployment. The organization required a proactive approach to manage vulnerabilities across applications, cloud infrastructure, and APIs.
Challenges Faced
With applications spanning on-premises, private, and public cloud environments, the organization encountered several security risks:
- Complex Attack Surface Applications hosted across hybrid and multi-cloud environments increased exposure to cyber threats.
- Cloud Misconfigurations & API Security Risks Lacked visibility into security gaps caused by misconfigurations and unprotected APIs.
- Regulatory Compliance & Cloud Security Governance Needed to ensure compliance with GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and cloud security best practices.
Solution
The organization partnered with COE Security to implement a App to Cloud Vulnerability Management framework, ensuring continuous risk assessment, threat mitigation, and compliance enforcement.
End-to-End Application & Cloud Security Assessment
- Conducted automated and manual vulnerability assessments across applications, cloud workloads, and APIs.
- Implemented real-time cloud security posture management (CSPM) to detect misconfigurations and compliance risks.
- Assessed container and Kubernetes security to prevent exploitation in cloud-native applications.
Continuous Threat Monitoring & Remediation
- Integrated cloud-native security tools for real-time vulnerability detection and automated patch management.
- Implemented runtime protection for applications using cloud workload protection platforms (CWPP).
- Utilized AI-driven threat intelligence to prioritize remediation efforts based on risk severity.
Cloud Security Governance & Compliance Management
- Ensured alignment with CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 cloud security frameworks.
- Automated compliance audits and security reporting to maintain regulatory adherence.
- Developed cloud security best practices and policies to minimize configuration and access control risks.
Security Awareness & DevSecOps Integration
- Provided cloud security training for DevOps and IT teams to enforce security-by-design principles.
- Integrated security testing into CI/CD pipelines to identify vulnerabilities early in the development cycle.
- Conducted red team exercises to assess cloud security resilience against real-world cyber threats.
