Amazon’s security improvements for its AWS Redshift managed data warehouse service are welcome additions, says an expert.
Loris Degioanni, chief technology officer at Sysdig, told InfoWorld that AWS’s enhanced security defaults for Amazon Redshift are a “necessary evolution for the accelerated cloud adoption we’ve seen across organizations with varying security expertise. Secure configurations are the first line of defense, and by enforcing best practices from day one, these changes reinforce the shift-left mindset Sysdig has long championed. However, security doesn’t stop at strong defaults — continuous monitoring, risk prioritization, and real-time threat detection are critical.”
Redshift allows organizations to store and analyze their data using their choice of business intelligence tools. According to HGInsights, just over 27,700 organizations use Redshift.
