How Rize Credit Union built a serverless data lake on AWS to become its own source of truth

How Rize Credit Union built a serverless data lake on AWS to become its own source of truth

Credit unions exist to serve members, not to run data centers. Every hour our team spends on infrastructure is an hour not spent on the question a member actually cares about: “Is my money safe, is my experience easy, and is my credit union on my side?” Moving to a serverless, managed-service foundation on Amazon Web Services (AWS) means our engineers spend their time on membership modeling, fraud analytics, and AI augmentation instead of capacity planning.

An incident response playbook for satellite operations on AWS (Part-1): Detection and forensic readiness

An incident response playbook for satellite operations on AWS (Part-1): Detection and forensic readiness

In this post, the first in a two-part series, we focus on the detection and forensic readiness side of satellite IR. This post walks through instrumenting your ground segment with Amazon Web Services (AWS) security services and AWS Ground Station so that threats surface before they cause damage, and forensic data is already flowing when an incident occurs.

An incident response playbook for satellite operations on AWS (Part-2): Automated response and recovery

An incident response playbook for satellite operations on AWS (Part-2): Automated response and recovery

This blog covers what to do when those detections fire. Satellite incident response (IR) must account for constraints that ground-based systems never face: containment actions that wait for the next orbital pass, decisions that trade mission continuity against security, and recovery procedures where the compromised endpoint cannot be physically accessed. It walks through containment, eradication, recovery, automated runbooks, and tabletop exercises designed for satellite operations teams.
