Overview
AlgoSec, a leader in securing application connectivity, needed to expand into new AWS regions, but faced technological and operational challenges. Automat-it implemented automated infrastructure provisioning, enhanced security measures, and comprehensive observability, enabling AlgoSec to expand smoothly, reduce latency, and ensure regulatory compliance across all regions.
This project, and many others, was carried out by Automat-it’s dedicated DevOps developer for AlgoSec.

The Challenge
Expanding into new AWS regions required AlgoSec to adhere to complex local regulations, ensure consistent infrastructure provisioning, and maintain high security standards. Managing these requirements while minimizing latency and operational overhead was a significant challenge, impacting AlgoSec’s ability to deliver services quickly and securely.

- Observability and Cost Management: Utilized Amazon CloudWatch and Datadog for end-to-end visibility, with cost optimization recommendations from Automat-it’s Albatross FinOps Suite.
- Timeline: 4-month project with ongoing support and monitoring.
The Results
- Compliance Achieved: AlgoSec successfully met all local regulatory requirements, enabling smooth expansion into new AWS regions.
- Reduced Latency: Improved service speed and user satisfaction.
- Operational Efficiency: AlgoSec can now expand on new AWS regions within a few weeks from decision to a full blown deployment – because the automated processes reduced management and operational overhead.
- Enhanced Security: Proactive threat detection and adherence to security best practices.
