United Bible Groups: Secure access to your management application
United Bible Groups is the entity that brings together three sections: secondary (GBE), university (GBU) and professional (GBG). They organize meetings where students from different churches and institutes (GBE) or universities (GBU) come into contact, are trained in the Word of God, learn to study it for themselves and share it. GBG, for its part, actively supports the production of quality biblical literature and its own content.

What challenge did the company face?
United Bible Groups had an on-premises server that four users connected to in order to access their management and accounting software. They were interested in hosting it on Amazon Web Services to improve its security and availability and ultimately take advantage of the credits offered by AWS through TechSoup.
Solution implemented
Our technical team configured the Amazon EC2 instance based on the requirements provided by the management software provider, but once it was up and running, we found that these requirements were insufficient, so we expanded the instance.
In addition, backup management was implemented with Lifecycle Manager, which offers three snapshot backups per day for thirty days and attack monitoring with Amazon GuardDuty. With these actions we address one of the points of greatest concern for the organization: the security of the data contained on the server.
In this sense, a VPN system was implemented so that users could connect securely via RDP to the server.
We also apply a combination of security management, auditing and monitoring services with Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon Inspector among others, configured according to the best practices established by AWS, in order to ensure control over the implemented architecture:
Results
The migration was completed with minimal impact and the client achieved the goal of improving the security and accessibility of their server.
The main benefits obtained with the implementation of the new environment were:
Improved access to your management systems
Reducing security risk
To consider
The ability to perform a low-impact migration is a key factor in enabling successful customer migration to AWS.
