SOLUTION: GDT CLOUD ASSESSMENT
GDT performed a thorough current-state cloud assessment to analyze our customer’s newly acquired environment across three cloud providers. As part of this exercise, GDT identified security gaps, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations.
GDT analyzed more than 800 findings across six categories: security, orphans, logging, governance, tags, and naming conventions. GDT prioritized risks based on severity and potential impact, focusing on critical issues that posed immediate threats to their cloud infrastructure and sensitive data. GDT also performed a cost analysis to quantify the financial impact of remediation efforts.
GDT then created in-depth documentation and a remediation plan for each cloud provider, proposing new technologies and solutions for improving the environments. GDT also architected landing zones for each cloud provider, giving our customer a pre-configured environment and framework for their cloud infrastructure. Finally, GDT provided detailed documentation of their environment, including subscriptions and best-practice recommendations for managing the infrastructure.
