Situation
TM recognizing the critical importance of security for its digital platforms, entrusted us with enhancing the protection of its web portal. As the primary entry point, the security of its web portals is vital to safeguarding information and ensuring user trust.
The challenge was to strengthen the platform’s security, scalability, and availability against potential vulnerabilities and cyberattacks.
Our Solution
We implemented a comprehensive Security and Disaster Recovery approach, leveraging advanced technologies to protect and optimize the web infrastructure:
Current State Analysis: Identified all critical components of the web platform, including web servers, databases, and application frameworks. An assessment of current versions and applied security patches was conducted.
Update Process: Established a structured process to ensure all components remained up-to-date with the latest security patches.
Web Platform Re-architecture: Re-architected the platform to enhance security and scalability, ensuring a more robust environment.
Deployment of New Services: Implemented services such as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to improve performance and availability, and a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect the platform from vulnerabilities and attacks.
Availability and Security Testing: Conducted periodic availability and security tests to ensure the platform remained reliable and safeguarded against emerging threats.
Results
Thanks to this solution, the client experienced a significant increase in the security of its web portal, validated through an Ethical Hacking audit.
Advanced Protection: Technologies such as AWS EC2, RDS, and WAF provided robust protection against cyber threats, while the CDN optimized site performance.
Greater Scalability and Flexibility: The microservices-based architecture and Docker containers with Amazon ECS improved platform management and scalability.
Continuous Monitoring: Implementation of AWS CloudWatch enabled real-time monitoring and security event alerts, ensuring rapid responses to any threats.
With this solution, we not only ensured the security of the web portal but also its long-term availability and performance, safeguarding the integrity of TM Grupo Inmobiliario’s digital infrastructure.
