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:-
- Shared physical environment
- Different deployment models
- Reliance on automation
