When it comes to managing AWS cloud security, a growing concern for security operations (SecOps teams) is the increasing sophistication of digital threats. While conventional cyber threats deploy widely known tools and techniques in crude, all-or-nothing attempts to breach enterprise security controls, sophisticated attacks known as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) employ more advanced technologies and methods to gain and maintain access to secure systems for long periods of time.

In the ever-evolving software development landscape, ephemeral environments are short-lived, automated setups used for testing, staging, or development. These environments exist only temporarily-created when necessary and destroyed afterward-allowing developers to work in isolation without impacting others. Ephemeral environments are crucial for efficient, conflict-free development, accelerating time-to-market, and enhancing team collaboration. As businesses increasingly adopt agile development practices, platforms for ephemeral environments are growing in demand.
