Verizon and AWS Join Forces to Bring 5G to the Edge

Verizon communications Inc. is a leading telecommunications company and mobile carrier, with the largest subscriber base in the US.

Navigating the Cloud: How Verizon is Ensuring Security in their Digital Transformation -

As a technology provider to many of the world’s leading companies, Verizon is well aware of the benefits of cloud computing. To support the migration of its business applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Verizon needed a way to scale its security validation processes beyond the manual efforts of its security team. Chris Durand, director of cloud security integration services at Verizon, notes that there are several considerations that Verizon had to address for effective solution, including:-

  1. Shared physical environment
  2. Different deployment models
  3. Reliance on automation

Verizon’s new Development-Security-Operations Pipeline (DSOP) is one preventative method that the company is using to ensure that applications deployed to the public cloud meet all security policies for cloud applications. DSOP, which itself runs on AWS, was built with assistance from Stelligent, a division of HOSTING and a Premier Consulting Partner of the AWS Partner Network (APN).
