Hydras Company

The digital and cloud transformation consultancy Hydras specialises in cloud security, working on Amazon Web Services. Working alongside a client's technical team, it designs, secures and runs cloud systems, and it also supplies security and technical staff to clients who need extra people.

AWS architecture and security assurance

Architecture and assurance work covers the design and build of cloud security infrastructure, along with auditing and testing of existing AWS systems. The firm has in-house expertise to make sure a client has the right resources in place, whether it is starting from scratch or reviewing what already runs.

Security engineering and monitoring tools

Security engineering covers the tools a client needs to monitor and automate its security posture. This engineering gives a business peace of mind outside working hours, since infrastructure needs solid engineering behind it to stay protected.

Managed AWS accounts and incident response

Managed services take on ongoing AWS tasks, including managing a client's AWS account and users, handling incidents and controlling costs. AWS infrastructure needs active management, and the firm steps in to do that work so that the client's own team can focus elsewhere.

DevOps and deployment automation

Its DevOps work covers infrastructure, configuration and deployment automation. Engineers set up the pipelines that build, test and release software, and the firm uses automation to keep infrastructure consistent from one environment to the next.

Resourcing for cyber security and technical roles

Resourcing-as-a-Service supplies security specialists and other technical staff. The team draws on a wide network of professionals, technically qualifies candidates, and then delivers them to clients as employees or contractors. Clients come to the firm when they need cyber security expertise, a developer, an AWS expert, an agile lead or a security architect.

Digital agencies, developers, start-ups and retailers

The firm's work comes from agencies in digital, marketing and creative fields, from app developers, from start-ups and from retailers that want secure, scalable websites and web applications built on current cloud technology. It also works with organisations that need cyber security skills. Its leadership team has come from long careers in technology, which is why it understands how hard it can be to find the right people.
