The Challenge
Maximus, a leading strategic partner to governments worldwide, faced a significant challenge in enforcing standards and ensuring consistency across all public cloud environments. With over 200 AWS accounts under management and a growing Azure presence, visibility into numerous projects spanning AWS and Azure was critical. The company needed a solution that would enforce standards across all public cloud accounts and regions, provide visibility into non-compliant resources, create an exception process for certain resources, and deliver an automated way to take remediation action. Enforcing standards across the entire enterprise with hundreds of AWS accounts and Azure subscriptions and different support models was a daunting task.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Maximus implemented InsightCloudSec, Rapid7’s cloud risk and compliance solution. Rapid7 worked with Maximus to customize the product release to meet their compliance requirements, resulting in an increased total compliance score across Maximus’ multi-cloud environment. Maximus chose Rapid7 for its consolidated visibility of active cloud resources running across multi-cloud environments, continuous monitoring and assessment of compliance against customized organizational security standards, real-time detections of compliance state changes, and the ability to both manually and automatically enforce compliance and update configurations and access permissions of non-compliant resources. The ease-of-use of Rapid7 InsightCloudSec was a deciding factor, with its ability to easily scale and integrate with Splunk to enrich data and display it in consumable dashboards for Security, IT, and project owners.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Enhancing Security and Compliance in Remitly's Global Money Transfer Service with Fastly
Remitly, an online remittance service, was faced with the challenge of securing its proprietary global transfer network. The company needed a security solution that could meet PCI requirements and protect customers' sensitive transactions through its mobile application. The solution had to be capable of defending against new and emerging attack types without impacting performance. Remitly also had to deal with irregular traffic patterns, such as a sudden spike in account transfers from a small network segment on the Pacific coastline of South America. The company needed to determine in real time whether such traffic indicated an attack or valid requests. A traditional web application firewall (WAF) would not be able to distinguish this traffic, potentially leading to customer frustration if the IP was blacklisted.
