The Challenge
Secure Migration of Workloads
The organization needed to migrate SAP, AD, and application servers from Azure to AWS without disruptions, ensuring sensitive workloads were protected.
Security Risks
Protecting workloads from unauthorized access, breaches, and potential data leaks during migration was a top priority.
Access Management
Maintaining consistent, least-privilege access across hybrid environments required robust RBAC and IAM practices.
Hybrid Integration
A secure and seamless Azure–AWS integration had to be established without compromising performance.
Large Data Transfer
Transferring file server data to Amazon S3 securely while preserving integrity and confidentiality was essential.
Post-Migration Security
Long-term security posture required continuous monitoring and compliance enforcement.
