Why AWS Security Consulting Matters

Enterprise cloud security isn’t just about checking compliance boxes—it’s about building a security foundation that scales with your business while protecting your most valuable assets. With 60% of organizations experiencing cloud security incidents due to misconfigurations and inadequate security practices, proper security consulting becomes critical for business continuity.

The Real Cost of Cloud Security Failures

  • Average data breach cost: $4.45 million (IBM Security Report 2023)
  • Cloud security incidents: 79% caused by human error and misconfigurations
  • Compliance violations: Average fine of $14.8 million for major violations
  • Business disruption: 23 days average recovery time for security incidents

Our security consulting prevents these costly scenarios through proactive security design and implementation.
