Migrate Smarter, Not Riskier: Why AWS Security Can’t Be an Afterthought

The AWS (Amazon Web Services) public cloud may present several challenges to seasoned IT veterans, including differences in networking, routing, and “how things used to work” in a traditional data network. Layer8 Consulting is here to ensure a solid foundation in the AWS public cloud, which many companies lack the time or knowledge to explore fully. An improper migration plan can cost the company money, introduce delays/re-work, and introduce network design bottlenecks that affect production traffic in your AWS cloud.

Layer8 Consulting can serve as a guide for our clients during all phases of their AWS cloud journey, helping to avoid costly pitfalls and performance issues within their environment.

Fortified from the Start: Our Approach to AWS Cloud Adoption Helps You Avoid Common Pitfalls.

Many newcomers to the AWS public cloud will find a whole host of new vocabulary terms, AWS objects and services, and options that may seem overwhelming at first. Layer8 Consulting is here to help demystify and explain the AWS ecosystem to newcomers. We aim to guide clients in making the most informed decisions, ensuring they do not over or under-purchase cloud resources.

Common AWS Migration Security Pitfalls:

Not planning for East/West security inspection between VPCs
Lack of understanding of attachment routing and AWS gateway devices
Improper sizing of NVA virtual hardware
Not planning appropriately for resiliency and redundancy within AWS public cloud

Layer8 will help you avoid these common pitfalls as we are keenly security-minded and will assist with a security-first design.
