Background
A famous Hollywood production company, known for its blockbuster films and cutting-edge visual effects, relies heavily on a massive cloud infrastructure to support its creative and technical operations. With over 3500 Linux instances running in AWS, the security and sysadmin teams faced a persistent challenge: maintaining security across all servers while ensuring system administrators weren’t overwhelmed with daily vulnerability checks.
As cyber threats became increasingly sophisticated, the IT team found themselves spending excessive time manually monitoring systems for security issues, applying patches, and ensuring compliance. This left little room for strategic IT initiatives such as capacity planning and refining security policies.
The Challenge
The production company’s security and IT teams needed a solution that could:
- Continuously monitor their cloud infrastructure for vulnerabilities.
- Automate remediation of security threats in real-time.
- Free up sysadmins from routine security maintenance so they could focus on strategic improvements.
The Solution: Codenotary Guardian
To address these challenges, the company deployed Codenotary Guardian, a powerful platform that provides automated security monitoring, vulnerability detection, and AI-driven remediation.
