A special kind of construction project: How OBI built the secure cloud with Alice&Bob.Company

The challenge

As one of Europe's largest DIY chains, OBI recognized early on the growing importance of securing its AWS cloud infrastructure in light of its increasing digital presence. To protect sensitive data and ensure reliable online operations, the company was looking for a comprehensive cloud security solution that went beyond the implementation of specific tools. OBI wanted to work with a company that had a strong security focus, would introduce innovative tools, establish best practices and encourage cross-functional collaboration to improve the security posture across the organization.

Our solution

Alice&Bob.Company was chosen as a specialized partner in the field of AWS & Cloud Security. Together, they developed a comprehensive plan to achieve the OBI Group's security goals. The certified team assessed the existing infrastructure, identified potential vulnerabilities and developed strategic recommendations to improve cloud security.

In addition to the purely technical implementation, the team developed and established security processes that are based on proven industry best practices and promote cross-functional collaboration within the company. Workshops on agile threat modeling were held in close collaboration with the development teams and a proven security champions program was initiated to help employees make informed decisions about the best security practices.

In addition, a comprehensive penetration test was carried out to test the robustness of the OBI infrastructure. This "stress test" simulated realistic cyber attacks to uncover potential vulnerabilities. The results helped to optimize the security measures together with the OBI team and make their digital presence even more secure.
