An EdTech’s journey to transforming its security practices
summary
D2L runs Brightspace across 63 AWS services in five regions and centralizes alerts with AWS Security Hub, AWS Config and GuardDuty, then codifies runbooks and automates ticketing and remediation via D2L Security Bot built on EventBridge, DynamoDB, SQS and SNS. Time-to-first-response drops from about one week to under an hour—99.99% improvement—and mean time-to-repair collapses from one month to 10 minutes, freeing 200 person-hours a year and enabling consistent, auditable guardrails.
