Security Accelerator

The AWS Shared Responsibility Model delineates the security obligations between AWS and its customers, creating a collaborative approach to cloud security. AWS takes charge of the "security of the cloud," which encompasses protecting the infrastructure that underpins all AWS services. This includes safeguarding data centers, hardware, software, networking, and other foundational elements that make up the AWS Cloud.

On the other hand, customers are tasked with "security in the cloud," which involves a range of responsibilities tailored to their specific use of AWS services. This includes managing access to their AWS resources, configuring security groups, encrypting data, patching guest operating systems and applications, and implementing additional security measures as needed. The extent of customer responsibility can vary depending on the AWS services utilized and how they are integrated into the customer's IT environment.

To address the challenges of "security in the cloud," BUILDSTR offers a Security Accelerator in that leverages AWS-native services to provide a default, easily deployable security pattern that can be customized to meet each customer's unique requirements. By utilizing BUILDSTR's Security Accelerator, customers can more efficiently manage their security responsibilities while taking advantage of AWS's robust infrastructure protection. This approach allows organizations to build on BUILDSTR’s expertise and learnings from hundreds of customer engagements, enhance their security posture, and potentially meet stringent compliance requirements more effectively.
