Zircoo’s AWS Managed Cloud customers enjoy robust IT security and seamless compliance within the AWS cloud environment. With AWS data centers situated in the European Union, clients can meet compliance requirements for data storage in line with EU legislation while retaining full ownership and control of their data.

AWS Cloud Compliance encompasses a wide array of security standards and certifications, including PCI-DSS, C5, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, FIPS 140-2, and NIST 800-171. This ensures compatibility with various compliance requirements across numerous industries. Additionally, AWS boasts top-tier physical and network security measures along with robust DDoS protection capabilities.

Zircoo leverages AWS Cloud Compliance and Security Services, such as AWS CloudTrail and AWS CloudWatch, for infrastructure monitoring and comprehensive logging of all modifications and accesses. AWS GuardDuty employs machine-learning algorithms to detect anomalies in data streams, while a self-monitoring ephemeral firewall adds an extra layer of protection. Moreover, AWS Key Management Service (KMS) allows for encryption of data transmission and storage transactions using either customer-provided certificates or certificates from AWS. Leveraging ITIL-certified processes, Zircoo efficiently manages AWS services on behalf of its customers, ensuring adherence to industry best practices.

Machine Learning with AWS SageMaker and AWS SageMaker DataWrangler

Data turns into valuable information for strategic decision-making with the help of analytics algorithms constantly optimized by machine learning (ML). Zircoo supports businesses utilizing these two AWS services.

AWS SageMaker

This toolkit empowers data scientists with the tools to customize standard statistical models and tailor them to meet specific business needs.

FAQ: Digital Workplace

Cloud computing allows companies to avoid managing their own data centre infrastructure. AWS offers various options for cloud computing that can be customized to meet each customer’s needs. These options include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), where AWS provides networking, compute, and storage services, and Platform as a Service (PaaS), where the operating system layer is added on top of the compute service. AWS also offers fully-managed options such as AWS RDS, which provides database systems with high availability and disaster recovery features. Additionally, AWS provides IT platforms for serverless and container technologies, development platforms, and an IIoT integration toolkit. AWS partners like Zircoo offer additional services, including managing standard software solutions such as SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA on the AWS platform.
