About CapMotion

Capital Motion Technologies is a FinTech company focused on designing, developing and deploying complex trade finance technology solutions for banks and financial institutions that want to improve the way they finance their customers by helping them develop the next generation of working capital product offerings for their customers.

The challenge

Despite its innovative approach, CapMotion faced a critical challenge: ensuring security and compliance in its cloud infrastructure, which was mounted on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. The financial industry is highly regulated and requires rigorous regulatory compliance at all stages of trade finance.

In addition, CapMotion needed to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of its customers sensitive financial data. Managing multiple AWS accounts, infrastructure security, and the to implement a scalable and agile solution were additional challenges.

Why Amazon Web Services?

CapMotion chose Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its preferred cloud platform for several strategic reasons:

Scalability and Elasticity: AWS offers the ability to scale resources as needed. This allowed CapMotion to meet the changing demands of its customers and adapt quickly to market fluctuations.

Wide Range of Services: AWS provides a wide variety of services, from compute and storage to databases and advanced analytics. This gave CapMotion the flexibility to develop cuttingedge technology solutions.

Robust Security: AWS stands out for its focus on security and compliance. It offers a variety of security services and ensures compliance with numerous security standards and regulations.

The Solution

To successfully address security and compliance challenges in their AWS-based cloud environment, CapMotion implemented a comprehensive solution that leveraged a number of key AWS services.

They used AWS Organizations to efficiently manage their multiple AWS accounts, allowing them to clearly organize their resources and centrally manage them.

In addition, IAM Identity Center was implemented to control and manage access to AWS resources, ensuring that only authorized users had the appropriate permissions.

The Amazon CloudTrail implementation ensured detailed and secure logging of all activities and events in their AWS environment, facilitating auditing and compliance. With Amazon ControlTower, CapMotion established predefined security policies and compliance standards, simplifying initial configuration and ensuring a baseline level of security across its infrastructure.

Additionally, AWS Service Catalog enabled development teams to provision resources and applications efficiently and securely, while AWS Config continuously assessed the infrastructure for regulatory and security compliance, ensuring that any deviations from security policies were detected and addressed in a timely manner.

Finally, the implementation of Amazon GuardDuty enabled CapMotion to monitor threats and suspicious activity in its AWS environment in real time, further improving its security posture.
