Case Study: Large IT Services Company secures AWS container services and improves work-life balance with Deepwatch

IT Service Provider Secures AWS Container Services with Deepwatch

Large IT Services Company, a data protection-as-a-service and IT services provider and AWS customer, faced slow identification of log sources, incomplete investigations from its previous managed security provider, and needed to accelerate a shift from VM-based to container-based builds. To improve visibility and speed of response for its growing, more complex environment, the company engaged Deepwatch (an AWS Level 1 MSSP with the Modern Compute Security specialty) to secure its AWS container services.

Deepwatch integrated with AWS GuardDuty and provided continuous 24/7 monitoring of Amazon ECS/EKS clusters, detecting threats such as access from known malicious actors or Tor nodes, anonymous API operations, and privilege-escalation attempts like root container launches. By delivering faster detection, clearer visibility, and outsourced SecOps expertise, Deepwatch helped accelerate the customer’s containerization security efforts, improve response times and team work–life balance, and enabled cost-avoidance/ROI opportunities through AWS EDP incentives.
