Case Study: AvalonBay achieves 75% faster secure development with Amazon Web Services

How AvalonBay Accelerated Secure Development by 75% Using Solutions from AWS

AvalonBay, a real estate management company, needed to modernize its on-premises environment to support faster development while protecting sensitive renter data. To do this, AvalonBay worked with Amazon Web Services, moving to a serverless strategy and using AWS solutions such as AWS Control Tower and Amazon Cognito to improve its secure multiaccount setup.

Amazon Web Services implemented automations and security controls through Solutions from AWS, including Customizations for AWS Control Tower, AWS Security Hub, and Automated Security Response on AWS. The result was a 75% acceleration in development, a more than 40% improvement in AWS Security Hub score, a 40% reduction in cloud compute costs, and faster account creation with much less manual work.
