“Turbot saved us 2.5 years of implementation time by having a secure, compliant, and production ready cloud ecosystem for our Genomics workloads on AWS.” Guardrails for Cloud Accounts - IT Director Large US Pharma Company
Turbot Guardrails Provide Agility and Control
Turbot Guardrails are the cornerstone technology for Software Defined Operations, enabling consistent repeatable operations management. Guardrails utilize a robust hierarchical policy engine that gives the enterprise control at higher levels of the hierarchy, and the flexibility to create approved and documented exceptions for workloads on an account by account basis (or even at the resource level). This resolves much of the friction that can be caused by “one-size-fits-all” models that are typical of cookie-cutter approaches to cloud security.
“By bringing in Turbot, we have been able to secure our regulated cloud workloads across the company and get buy-in from all the IT departments (including security and architecture). Turbot is now mandated for all enterprise projects in AWS, and has helped the cloud team reduce costs and automate best practices.” – R&D IT Director, Large US Pharma Company
