Fortifying the Cloud by Securing a Cybersecurity Leader’s AWS Migration

Enhancing security, scalability, and performance with AWS

This leading cybersecurity company needed to migrate its on-premise core applications to AWS to reduce costs, improve performance, and enhance security. The company faced challenges with high latency, licensing costs, and maintaining a hybrid infrastructure. As a trusted partner, GlobalLogic executed a phased AWS migration, leveraging cloud- native technologies to optimize security, scalability, and operational efficiency.

Challenge

The client’s growing infrastructure demanded a secure, high-performance cloud solution. The company faced several key challenges:

• High latency and inefficiencies – On-premise servers caused performance bottlenecks when interacting with AWS-based workloads.
• Rising operational costs – Licensing fees and maintenance costs for the existing infrastructure were unsustainable.
• Security concerns – As a cybersecurity company, the client needed a highly secure environment that met industry best practices.
• Scalability limitations – The existing infrastructure lacked the flexibility to scale with growing business needs.

The company engaged GlobalLogic to migrate its core applications to AWS while ensuring security, compliance, and minimal downtime.

Value Created

GlobalLogic executed a phased migration strategy to ensure a smooth transition from on-premise servers to AWS.
