As a standalone offering Orca is fantastic at identifying core risks within AWS cloud environments which leaves the efficiency and effectiveness of remediation as the responsibility of the cloud or security engineers.

To enable the appropriate teams and effectively remediate misconfigurations, malware or other Orca identified cloud risks, Advent One has utilised Ansible to create an offering which will automatically remediate these problems such as update dependencies and operating systems. Orca’s unique ability to identify the instances or assets most at risk allows Ansible to select prioritised vulnerabilities based on their risk profile and remediate them quicker than a typical engineer.

Combining both Ansible and Orca allows you to accelerate, orchestrate, and remediate with automation. Premier Red Hat Partner Advent One have a track record of enabling clients to leverage automation allowing a smooth workflow for I.T teams.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of some use cases:

• Updating outdated or vulnerable OS software
• Updating outdated or vulnerable third-party apps or dependencies (eg: Python, java)
• Isolate malware infected instances
• Change EC2 instance vulnerable configurations
• Identify linting or bad practices in code pre-deployment

Advent One's approach is to work with our clients to:

• Enable your team through Red Hat learning services and joint engagement with Advent One Consultants
• Designing a best practice Automation Platform architecture with detailed documentation
• Implement a workflow that enables both I.T and security teams to automate secure practices
• Identify core risks produced by risky practices or misconfigurations before becoming a production issue
