Client Background
CyberiSight is a cybersecurity company offering proactive solutions for threat intelligence, vulnerability assessments, incident response, and security consulting. Their mission is to help individuals and organizations stay secure in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
With a web application built on Node.js and PostgreSQL, hosted on AWS and managed via GitLab SaaS, CyberiSight needed to scale and secure its DevOps operations as it prepared to onboard its first enterprise client.
Business Challenge
CyberiSight faced several critical DevOps and infrastructure needs:
-
CI/CD Automation: They required a robust and maintainable continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for their app stack.
-
Security Integration: CI pipelines needed embedded security checks, including dependency scanning and application security tools.
-
Infrastructure Support: Database migrations, secure cloud configurations, and version control alignment were vital.
-
Pipeline Maintenance: The client wanted ongoing support and visibility into the automation setup.
-
Collaboration: Integration with weekly agile workflows was needed to ensure transparency and alignment with the development team.
