Minimize your risks

Safeguard your journey to the cloud

REDUCE CLOUD MIGRATION RISKS

Migrating workloads, applications and data to the cloud? The advantages are clear, but the security implications are often overlooked. Cognizant provides the expertise to help you minimize the risks of cloud migration.

Lack of visibility, control and expertise can present severe security threats to your operation. Protect your business across public and hybrid cloud environments with Cognizant’s Cloud Security solution. We ensure a smooth transition to cloud and minimize the security risks of migration by employing a three-pronged set of security solutions.

Advisory 

  • Vision and Strategy: Align security with business and IT strategy
  • Assess and Plan: Assess risk and regulatory requirements

Transformation 

  • Design and Build: Implement a secure cloud environment
  • Migrate and Validate: Transition and validate workloads to cloud

Managed 

  • Support ongoing security control configuration management
  • Provide continuous monitoring and analysis
  • Deliver threat intelligence
  • Coordinate incident response and recovery

Combined, these services support your cloud migration strategies and address regulatory requirements, so you can execute an end-to-end security strategy for your digital transformation journey.

Privileged Access Management as a Service

Privileged account abuse is one of the top sources of breaches. Cognizant’s Privileged Access Management as a Service (PAMaaS) provides security for your most privileged accounts, with the right expertise, cost and time to value. Wherever your systems operate—in your data centers, the public cloud or a hybrid combination of both—Cognizant Security can help.

  • ASSESS AND PLAN

    DETERMINE YOUR STRATEGY

    Our experts work with your team and vendor partners to assess risk, business and regulatory security requirements, then determine the current state of cloud security for planned and in-flight cloud programs. This is an essential stage in the process of determining an appropriate security strategy for the cloud.

    We will design a cloud security roadmap and controls in line with your business strategy, objectives and identified requirements for “lift and shift,” “lift and operate” and “lift and transform” cloud migrations.

    MANAGE CLOUD SECURITY CONTROLS

    The Cognizant Security team works with your business to implement agreed-upon cloud security controls and perform post-migration controls analysis. This includes validating control effectiveness, ensuring logging and alerting capabilities, testing incident response plans, and performing key performance indicator (KPI) and key risk indicator (KRI) reporting.

  • RUN AND OPTIMIZE

    MINIMIZE FUTURE RISK

    We help provide ongoing scalable shared services for continuous configuration management, monitoring and alerting, and security responses. This ensures that your security posture evolves ahead of the threat environment to minimize the future risk to your company.
