Challenge	Delta Dental is a dental insurance organization that needs to ensure its computing platforms are secure and comply with strict security & compliance practices. They are bound to ensure the safety of client data and need to be sure they are compliant with HIPAA, NIST & CIS Standards. With the growing need for compute capability and the development of advanced customer-centric applications, Delta Dental has adopted a hybrid cloud approach, adding AWS services to enable rapid application development and bolster their traditional data centers capability. Rapid development and the ability to deliver new services come with the risk of increasing the attack surface of these systems. To ensure ongoing compliance in both the AWS and data center environments, Delta Dental needed a solution that could give them real-time visibility, enable on-demand compliance status reports, and provide the tools for rapid remediation.
