🧠 2. Our Approach

• 🔹 Defense-in-Depth for Cloud Workloads
• 🔹 Runtime Protection + Configuration Review
• 🔹 DevSecOps-Aligned Fix Recommendations

Visual Workflow:
[Workload Discovery] → [Config Review] →
[Vulnerability Scan] → [Runtime Behavior Analysis] → [Threat Detection] →
[Remediation Guidance] → [Continuous Monitoring]

🧪 3. Methodology

Phase-by-Phase Flow:
[Kickoff] → [Workload Inventory] → [Host Hardening Checks] → [Container Image Analysis] →
[Runtime Monitoring Deployment] → [Threat Behavior Correlation] → [Alert Triage & Response Plan] →
[Fix Recommendations] → [Post-Fix Audit & Certification]

📚 9. Real-World Case Studies

🛑 Unprotected Container in Production

• Issue: A Kubernetes container was running as root with no resource limits.
• Impact: Container compromised and used for crypto mining.

🛠️ Fintech VM Workload Hardening

• Client: Indian lending platform hosted on AWS
• Findings: SSH brute-force attempts on exposed EC2; Vulnerable Log4j version in container
• Our Role: Setup of runtime threat detection and guided hardening
• Outcome: Zero workload compromise over 6 months; PCI-DSS certification achieved
