New Challenges for Organizations That Have Lifted to AWS – Lack of Control in Cloud-Native Environments Many companies believe they have completed the first step of cloud adoption, having lifted to AWS and established guardrails at the infrastructure level (e.g., Control Tower, Organizations). Many companies likely think, "We can now use AWS with peace of mind." However, in recent years, cloud-native initiatives have rapidly expanded, with various departments independently building and operating environments for containers, CI/CD, IaC, and more. This new usage, which extends beyond the scope of initially set guardrails and common infrastructure, leads to operations left to the field, revealing new challenges such as "We don't know who is managing what" and "Overall control is ineffective."

Significant Business Impact – Security Risks, Increased Costs, and Field Teams Caught in the Middle Furthermore, in such situations of lacking control, not only do security risks and audit responses become more complex, but the characteristics of AWS's pay-as-you-go model also accelerate the difficulty of cost management. This leads to serious business impacts like "Costs are rising steadily without us realizing it" and "We can't grasp how much the entire company is spending on what." If control is not re-examined to include cloud-native domains, new initiatives could lead to significant security risks and duplicate costs. Meanwhile, IT departments working to solve these issues face the dilemma of being caught in the middle: strengthening control hinders the development speed and flexibility of field teams, while loosening it increases risks and costs. A new governance design is needed to control the AWS environment across the entire company, integrating security, convenience, and cost optimization (FinOps).

What is the Solution? – Specific Measures and Case Studies for AWS Governance That Functions in the Field This seminar will explain, in an easy-to-understand manner, practical AWS governance design methods that enable "enhanced security," "improved field speed (increased convenience)," and "cost optimization" for cloud-native environments, breaking away from person-dependent operations and superficial controls. These methods are based on the know-how and case studies accumulated by NIPPON STEEL SOLUTIONS CORPORATION (hereinafter, NSSOL) in enterprise AWS operations. Moreover, building and operating such systems in-house requires advanced AWS knowledge and field experience, posing a significant hurdle for field teams. NSSOL offers comprehensive cloud-native support services such as "CloudHarbor," which provides AWS governance design, infrastructure construction tailored to field challenges and operational realities, and cloud cost optimization, as well as FinOps support services. This seminar will also introduce the features of these services and the latest case studies from companies that have actually implemented them, conveying "initiatives for company-wide control that truly function in the field." We encourage those who feel challenges with AWS operations and governance, or are considering building a new system, to take advantage of this opportunity.

Recommended For: - Individuals with decision-making authority for IT infrastructure and security control, such as IT Infrastructure Managers and CIOs. - Representatives from companies promoting cloud adoption and cloud-native transformation, regardless of industry. - Individuals who perceive challenges in field cloud usage and security control. - Those considering strengthening governance in the next fiscal year's budget.
