Challenge	Movember, a non-profit organization dedicated to impacting men’s health, transitioned to a cloud environment to better serve their donors and campaign participants, and streamline their processes. However, during this transition, they encountered a significant challenge. Their traditional Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions were unable to scale during peak traffic periods without requiring constant tuning and intervention from their team. For six months, Movember struggled to integrate a legacy WAF solution into their modern application infrastructure. The solution was never fully implemented, causing frustration and resulting in a solution that had to be discarded and replaced. The organization needed a seamless and secure web application protection solution that could keep up with their rapidly scaling cloud infrastructure. Read More
About Customer	Movember is a non-profit organization that is focused on making a lasting impact on men’s health. They work towards this goal by engaging donors and campaign participants in various initiatives. To streamline their processes and better serve their stakeholders, Movember transitioned to a cloud environment. However, they faced challenges with their traditional Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions, which were unable to scale during peak traffic periods without constant tuning and intervention. This led them to seek a more efficient and scalable solution. Read More
Solution	Signal Sciences stepped in to assist the Movember Foundation in transitioning from a rigid traditional WAF deployment to a seamless and secure web application protection solution. This solution was designed to keep up with Movember's rapidly scaling cloud infrastructure. The implementation was rapid, completed in just 20 days, providing immediate security visibility and protection value. The Movember team was able to deploy Signal Sciences into their development environment within 48 hours of starting their proof of concept trial. The entire timeline with Signal Sciences, including evaluation, purchase, and production implementation, was completed within 20 days. The Signal Sciences cloud-based dashboard provided the Movember team with accurate reporting and data across all of their web applications. This allowed them to report on operational data, confirming that their web applications were secure and scaling automatically. The new security measures did not block actual traffic and there were no false positives. Read More Log in to view content
