Automation

ELEVATE EFFICIENCY THROUGH PREMIUM AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS

Recognizing the importance of automation, numerous companies seek its benefits yet face challenges in acquiring the right expertise and resources for implementation. Even when resources are secured, high attrition rates often prevail due to market demand. At CDA, we offer both automation services and cultivate top-tier talent to achieve, validate, and sustain your infrastructure goals. Our approach centers on people, process, and platform, enabling us to provide holistic solutions or address particular operational gaps.

DevOps

Move faster with high quality and more automation.

 

CDA helps organizations accelerate DevOps adoption by delivering resilient, future-ready environments built on people, process, and platforms. Whether you need a complete solution or support closing specific gaps, we provide the expertise to modernize your delivery pipeline and scale with confidence.

​

Our DevOps expertise enables faster delivery cycles, reduced downtime, and higher quality releases, so your teams can innovate without bottlenecks.

​

Core DevOps Services

​

  • CI/CD Pipeline Development & Optimization

    • Build new pipelines or modernize existing ones

    • Automation and quality control baked in

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

    • Automated provisioning with Terraform, Ansible, etc., reducing manual effort and ensuring consistency.

  • Cloud & Container Orchestration

    • Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native deployment models

  • Monitoring & Reliability Engineering

    • Observability, alerting, and continuous improvement
       

With CDA, you get DevOps done right, faster delivery cycles, reduced downtime, and reliable, scalable operations.

DevSecOps

Secure your pipelines without slowing them down.


CDA integrates security seamlessly into your Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, ensuring that speed and agility never come at the expense of protection. We help organizations adopt practices like dependency mapping, vulnerability assessments, and static, dynamic, and interactive code analysis. With our DevSecOps expertise, you can identify risks early, automate security checks, and maintain compliance, without creating bottlenecks.

​

Core DevSecOps Services

​

  • Dependency Mapping & Vulnerability Assessment

    • Identify, track, and remediate risks in third-party and open-source components.

  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

    • Scan source code during development to catch vulnerabilities before release.

  • Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

    • Simulate attacks on running applications to uncover real-world risks.

  • Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)

    • Combine runtime analysis with code-level insights for deeper detection.

  • Pipeline Security Integration

    • Embed automated security checks directly into CI/CD workflows for continuous protection.

Infrastructure Provisioning

Provision smarter, scale faster.


Building and documenting infrastructure without automation is not scalable and often slows down agile initiatives. CDA leverages modern toolsets and DevOps practices to automate infrastructure provisioning, ensuring consistency, speed, and repeatability. With our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach, you can build once and deploy many times, across private and public clouds, while reducing provisioning times and eliminating manual errors. Our automation team helps you focus on priorities by streamlining systems and configuration management.

​

Core Infrastructure Provisioning Services

​

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

    • Define and manage infrastructure using tools like Terraform and Ansible for repeatable, version-controlled deployments.

  • Cloud Provisioning & Management

    • Automate deployment of resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, or hybrid environments.

  • Configuration Management

    • Standardize environments with tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef to reduce drift and ensure compliance.

  • Environment Consistency

    • Create reproducible dev, test, and production environments that minimize deployment issues.

  • Scalability & Agility

    • Enable faster provisioning at scale so teams can innovate without infrastructure bottlenecks.​​​​​​​​​

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation & Response)

Automate security operations with speed and precision.


Security teams face an overwhelming volume of alerts, often leading to fatigue and slower response times. CDA helps organizations leverage SOAR platforms to automate routine tasks, orchestrate workflows, and reduce the number of actionable incidents. Whether you already have playbooks in place or are just beginning your automation journey, we design and implement workflows that improve agility, consistency, and efficiency within your security operations.

​

Core SOAR Services

​

  • Playbook Development & Automation

    • Build and optimize response playbooks for common security incidents to ensure consistency and speed.

  • Alert Enrichment & Triage

    • Automate the collection of context from multiple sources to reduce false positives and prioritize high-risk threats.

  • Incident Response Automation

    • Streamline repetitive tasks like account isolation, log collection, and notifications for faster remediation.

  • Threat Intelligence Integration

    • Correlate data from threat feeds and security tools to improve detection accuracy.

  • Workflow Orchestration

    • Connect security tools (SIEM, firewalls, EDR, etc.) for unified, automated response processes.
