CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE-AS-A-SERVICE (IaaS) PROTECTION AND SECURITY (AWS, Azure, and GCP) Cedrus maintains relevant security skills and certifications in popular CSP technology stacks like AWS and Microsoft Azure. Through our technical knowledge, and information security experience in the enterprise, Cedrus can assist your business in securing your cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) subscriptions and configurations. In many ways, the Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are more secure than almost any business in the portions that they are responsible for, but being clear on the parts that your business owns and how to apply security properly is critical. As businesses relinquish control of physical data centers and system hardware, information security responsibilities in some areas are amplified because services that may now be accessible from anywhere have an increased level of exposure risk and more threat / attack vectors. In addition, each of the main Cloud service providers have slightly different naming conventions to describe similar capabilities and requirements. At Cedrus, we understand the Information Security team’s desire to apply best practices as the vendor level, while also adhering to a centralized and standard set of controls across vendors. A good reference point is the Shared Responsibility model. The model below describes this in a general way, the major CSPs all have good documentation on the details and benefits of their particular approach to security. ​ CEDRUS CAN HELP 1. Architecture and Security Configuration Assessment: Organizations are moving to the Cloud at a pace that does not align with traditional Information Security processes. Cloud security is a new and unique domain. Additionally, AWS Cloud Security experts are rare and hard to retain. Organizations often inherit AWS accounts from acquisitions or are home-grown by line of business. Cloud security requires specialized skills and knowledge to ensure that risk is mitigated properly. Many organizations struggle to dedicate the appropriate time and resources to these critical projects. ​ The service offering will focus on the following security epics: Identity Access Management (IAM) Data protection Infrastructure protection Detective controls Incident response The assessment process is conducted in three steps: Discover : Inspect AWS accounts using industry tooling and interview account owners to identify vulnerabilities. Assess : Review the security policies and procedures of the existing accounts against the AWS security pillar of the Well-Architected Framework and the Center for Internet Security (CIS) recommendations. Report : Document a remediation plan and an approach for how to ensure that future AWS accounts are configured properly. ​ Ready to Get Started? Contact us! 2. Container Security: More information coming soon! ​ Ready to Get Started? Contact us! 3. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): After an initial assessment of your security configuration is complete and remediation roadmap/plans are in place, Cedrus can enable an ongoing monitoring solution to make sure that your infrastructure configurations do not slip out of compliance. This is a cornerstone for providing security on any CSP platform for any business leveraging IaaS or PaaS, but most valuable when: The business has a multi-cloud strategy and wants to enforce similar controls across providers The business has limited cloud native security experts to proactively review configurations and local events The security posture scanning is leveraged in conjunction with: Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) to prevent leaked keys from attackers Shadow IT discovery capability to detect new subscriptions and ensure that they are brought into the standard approach to compliance Cloud Identity services for Federation and Privileged Access Management (PAM) ensure that the CSP admin accounts are protected and actions are monitored In addition to partnerships with the major CSPs, Cedrus partners with Netskope and Okta cloud security solution vendors to provide robust enterprise-ready cloud security for IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.

USER EXPERIENCE AND DESIGN Conceiving ideas, setting a strategy, and designing what’s needed to solve the problems of your users while addressing the needs of your business. WHY DESIGN ? Design-driven companies out-perform the S&P by 219 % . Businesses that invest in and use design as a business strategy enjoy greater returns by up to 26 x . A better product means a better user experience Taking a user-centric approach to problem solving is no longer a business differentiator, it’s a necessity. Customers and employees have grown accustomed to things functioning in a way that does what they need, when they need it. You need solutions that people aren’t forced to use, but want to use. Otherwise, customers move to competitors, and employees become frustrated. ​ Design saves time, and time is money ​ Until you see your product working in the real world, every decision is based on an assumption. This is why products get updated and new versions are released. While iteration is inherently important, a majority of user errors can be caught and UI updates can be made long before your go live date. By starting projects with a focus on UX you can save both time and money by fine-tuning user flows and making iterations before writing even a line of code. Fixing a problem in development costs 10 times as much as fixing it in design, and 100 times as much if you’re trying to fix the problem in a product that’s already been released. - Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach by Roger Pressman ABOUT US Our team has designed and prototyped mobile apps with AWS, run user research and usability sessions for in-house products, and even helped build and train design departments at Fortune 125 companies. With designers certified by institutions such as IDEO and IBM, our team is here to help you define, design, and deliver at any stage of the product development life cycle. No two business problems are the same, so we tailor our approach to your specific engagement and resulting product. Building a Design Practice from the Ground Up Our design team is dedicated to understanding that we're building the right thing, then building the thing right. Cedrus' design experts acted as part of IBM's Cloud Garage team to introduce a brand new design and innovation strategy practice to a major energy company. This yearlong engagement also resulted in our designers being certified as IBM Enterprise Design Thinking Coaches. Read more about our successful IBM Garage engagement on IBM's Medium blog here . Redesigning a Legacy Product A major health insurance company wanted to replace an outdated tool that supported a crucial, manual process; they requested a more modern-looking interface for their tool to increase efficiency. Our designers began with two weeks of interviewing claims processors of varying experience levels, trainers, and supervisors to verify the true issues of the current tool and the process surrounding it. The resulting redesign brought long-term strategic value to the end product by addressing the process as a whole to ensure its lifespan, rather than a cosmetic, surface-level fix. By looking beyond the tool in front of us, and focusing on real-life use cases and experiences, we increased efficiency, accuracy, and data capture, and reduced cost. OUR DESIGN EXPERTISE While we fine-tune our offerings to fit your specific project and company goals, they normally fall into one of these four categories. Get in touch with us to learn more! UX and UI Design Design and define the functionality, flow, and visual aspects of mobile and web technology around the needs and goals of your users. Enterprise UX Modernize and re-design legacy systems, dashboards, and cross- department processes for gains in efficiency and accuracy.

BLUE PRISM Blue Prism's Intelligent Robotic Process Automation software and platform combine RPA with AI and cognitive capabilities, to ease and quicken your digital workflow. OUR BLUE PRISM EXPERTISE What is the most important thing for a visitor to know about our partnership with Blue Prism? What can we deliver that they need? OUR SUCCESSES WITH BLUE PRISM Process Improvement Assessment through RPA A major health insurance providers had over 50 burdensome processes that weighed down employees' workflows and cost the company significant money. They suspected some of these processes might be candidates for automation, and called upon Cedrus to help them prioritize and pave the way for their automation journey. Our business process analysts interviewed employees and observed processes, and used Blue Prism's Process Discovery tool to understand which automation opportunities would present the greatest automation impact and business value. Group Insurance Bot Design A major health insurance company wanted to validate their internal migration of long-term disability claims from a legacy (Mainframe) application to a modern web application. The client needed to verify that the claims were properly migrated so that no payments would be missed, but their team had to check manually that the data copied correctly. They would need to perform this manual, time-intensive process for a representative percentage of the tens of thousands of cases to prove its success. ​ Cedrus' engineers created a Blue Prism bot that would open the mainframe, copy the member data, and cross-reference it with the data in the new web app. At the end of the day, the business owners would receive an automatically-generated spreadsheet report detailing which cases matched and which cases needed to be manually addressed. With this solution, there was no guesswork, 100% of the claims were checked, and thousands of hours of manual labor were saved. READY TO GET STARTED ? Get in touch with us!

OUR SUCCESSES WITH AWS Cedrus' Work on Home IoT Cedrus developed a smart home solution for a major American energy company using AWS services. A gateway device, connected via a serverless solution to a progressive web app, tracks energy usage and controls smart home devices. The customer can also use voice control through Alexa. AWS Greengrass allows the gateway to run a Node.js application, and offers the ability to perform over-the-air updates on the device. Technologies used included AWS IoT, AWS Greengrass, AWS IoT Analytics, API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and Cognito. The team also utilized APIs exposed by OpenHab, a vendor and technology agnostic open source automation software for the home, with an active community. This work was featured at an AWS workshop, where AWS showcased how partners use their technology to interested clients. Cedrus' Work on Industrial IoT Cedrus made a smart home integration for peoples' home devices for a leading American energy company. Customers signed up through their energy provider, were provided an Alexa to control smart home devices, and volunteered their usage statistics and control over their smart home devices. Cedrus built a dashboard for the company to see and control the devices and usage. This solution, now managed by the company, is mutually beneficial: customers save money and energy, and the company does not have to build additional power plants to support unnecessary power usage.
