Often in on-premise environments, workloads get over-provisioned. Many times, this is due to not knowing which AWS EC2 instance type is best for your organization’s needs. You might find that you’re maxing the number of cores but are only utilizing ¾ of the available memory (or vice versa). You over-provision as a practice, just to be safe. After [...]
Investing in security is expensive, and it’s often tempting to focus first on your current profitability. But not investing in security costs organizations even more.
