"I love to start my morning with the configuration changes view in Stream Security.”
Arye Shulman Ehrenreich
CIO
The challenge
One of Shield's core challenges is managing frequent configuration changes, particularly driven by infrastructure as code (IaC). These changes, while essential for business agility, introduce significant security and compliance risks if not monitored and contained immediately. The dynamic nature of these changes creates a constant state of flux, where the lack of visibility until full implementation means that errors or vulnerabilities might be discovered too late.
Shield operates under strict regulatory demands with zero tolerance for data exposure. Balancing rapid configuration changes with the need for flawless security is critical, as even a minor misconfiguration can lead to significant consequences.
“Stream Security gives us the ability to focus on what's really important instead of chasing huge amounts of unfiltered, context-less alerts.”
