CLOUD SECURITY & WORKLOAD HARDENING

Cloud Security.

Harden cloud infrastructure, identities, networks and data across AWS and GCP.

Cloud misconfigurations represent over 80% of enterprise security incidents. AKREVON implements least-privilege IAM policies, network isolation, immutable encrypted backups, CIS benchmark compliance, and real-time cloud threat detection across your cloud environments.

RELEASE GOVERNANCE

Before production workloads scale

Four cloud architecture decisions that safeguard infrastructure against catastrophic configuration drift.

Enforce private subnet boundaries for all internal data stores.Active Focus

Are any databases or internal microservices directly reachable from the public internet?

A database should never have a public IP address, even if protected by a password. All database clusters, cache nodes, and internal APIs must reside in private subnets, accessible only through dedicated application servers or VPN bastions.

Evaluation Criteria:
Zero public IPs on data storesNAT gateway egress routingBastion / SSM Session Manager accessStrict security group ingress rules
Eliminate manual console changes through Infrastructure-as-Code.Inspect

How are cloud infrastructure changes provisioned and tracked?

Manual changes in the AWS or GCP console lead to configuration drift, untracked security holes, and undocumented settings. All infrastructure must be codified in Terraform or OpenTofu and managed through reviewed pull requests.

Evaluation Criteria:
100% Terraform/IaC coverageDrift detection pipelinesConsole write-access restrictionsAudited git approval trails for infra changes
Separate AWS/GCP accounts to prevent blast radius contamination.Inspect

How do we isolate developer, staging, and production cloud environments?

Deploying dev and production workloads inside the same cloud account is a recipe for disaster. We establish multi-account architectures (AWS Organizations) with completely isolated blast radiuses, credentials, and billing.

Evaluation Criteria:
Multi-account architecture (AWS Orgs)Isolated IAM identity storesZero cross-environment network accessCentralized audit and billing account
Establish tested automated disaster recovery and backup RTO/RPOs.Inspect

What happens if a cloud region suffers a complete data center outage?

Relying on a single cloud availability zone exposes you to downtime. We ensure database automated failover, cross-region read replicas, and immutable encrypted backups with documented Recovery Time (RTO) and Point (RPO) objectives.

Evaluation Criteria:
Documented RTO and RPO targetsCross-region automated backupsMulti-AZ database failover testingTested restoration runbooks

DELIVERY LIFECYCLE

How We Strengthen Cloud Security

A structured infrastructure hardening lifecycle that secures cloud assets without slowing down deployments.

Cloud Posture & Vulnerability Audit

We inspect IAM configurations, network topologies, storage permissions, and compute instances against CIS Cloud Benchmarks.

Perimeter Isolation & IAM Hardening

We eliminate public endpoints, isolate databases into private subnets, and refactor over-privileged IAM roles into least-privilege policies.

Deliverable:Hardened VPC & IAM Terraform

Encryption & Backup Verification

We enforce KMS customer-managed encryption at rest and in transit, configuring immutable automated backups and disaster recovery vaults.

COMMERCIAL VALUE

Why Cloud Security Matters

Proactive cloud posture protects your customer data and prevents crippling multi-million-dollar cloud breaches.

Eliminate Cloud Misconfiguration Risk

Over 80% of data breaches stem from simple misconfigurations like public storage buckets. Rigorous hardening completely closes these vectors.

Zero Exposed Buckets

Satisfy Enterprise Vendor Requirements

Comply with enterprise security mandates, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliance without expensive re-architecture later.

Compliance Ready

Bulletproof Disaster Recovery

Automated, immutable backups and cross-region replication ensure your business can recover rapidly from ransomware or regional outages.

Operational Continuity
