Applicable Industries	Retail Telecommunications
Applicable Functions	Business Operation Quality Assurance
Services	Cybersecurity Services System Integration
Challenge	FS moved its data center off-premise to the cloud, so there was an opportunity to strategically build the security infrastructure up front to manage more than 300 machines on AWS. Each of the servers has its own SSH key and a local user for development. Multiple people need to connect to the servers all the time. Managing the security of these privileged accounts was a complex and complicated endeavor. Also, the company wanted to have a system in place to track all changes to ensure each was approved for deployment and documented for long term analysis and audit. Having proactive security measures in place to mitigate risks associated with privileged accounts was not only important to the IT team supporting a growing business, but it was also a priority for the CEO who understands the business benefits of protecting digital assets.
