While they had a third-party firewall in place, it was not effectively monitoring or controlling web traffic reaching their newly modernized serverless applications. Their applications were accessed via a content delivery network, and they needed a security service that could seamlessly integrate at this layer to inspect and filter traffic before it ever reached their application logic.
Having modernized their applications on a serverless architecture, the client's ambition was to ensure their new, agile platform was protected by an equally modern and intelligent security layer. They needed to meet stringent security requirements to protect their applications and data, and maintain the trust of their global pharma clients.
The AWS WAF solution had a dramatic and measurable impact. It immediately began blocking approximately 300 malicious requests per day, reducing their overall application layer attacks by 90%. The automated monitoring and blocking capabilities significantly reduced the time and effort required from their security team by 50%. This proactive defense greatly enhanced their overall security posture and business reliability at a lower operational cost.
