Centralized Enhancement of Security and Service Delivery

Companies with a long track record often unfor- tunately have a fragmented starting infrastructure environment. First of all, because there are typically multiple solutions that deal with small parts related to security and automation in parallel as they are acquired over the years. Also, both operating systems and databases are heterogeneous as are the types of virtual machines used for the different services proposed. Concurrently, attacks on computer systems are constantly increasing, and a constant increase in security in one’s systems is mandatory. Therefore, it becomes important to seek automation of de- ployment and security-related processes in order to drastically decrease the time required for their execution and also minimize the possible occurrences of human error. In this paper we will show how it is possible to implement a harmonization of the automation and security tools used by trying to centralize them into one, thus also simplifying their management.
