About The Customer
Namely is a leading HR platform that offers a cloud-first, all-in-one solution. The company is experiencing rapid growth, which has led to an increased customer base and a corresponding increase in its responsibility of managing web defenses. In a fast-paced agile development environment, the company's security leader was tasked with building security and IT from scratch. The company was looking for a solution that offered technical alignment, ease of use, best-in-class security functionality, and a low total cost of ownership.
The Challenge
Namely, a cloud-first, all-in-one HR platform, was experiencing rapid growth, which necessitated the prioritization of its web defense. As the customer base of Namely expanded, so did its responsibility of managing web defenses, including detection, prevention, and response. In a fast-paced agile development environment, security leader Daniel Leslie was tasked with building security and IT from scratch. He was seeking innovative ways to manage website defenses, having had experience with legacy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs). His core criteria for a solution included technical alignment, ease of use, best-in-class security functionality, and total cost of ownership.
The Solution
Namely decided to partner with Signal Sciences for their security architecture due to its better usability for security operation tasks, technical alignment with deployment updates and maintenance, and a lower total cost of ownership. Signal Sciences offered real-time visibility around how their web applications were being attacked, which was a common struggle for many enterprises. The product was easy to install across their tech stack and shared relevant security data across departments and levels. Detailed blocking decisions, coupled with integrations like PagerDuty, helped Namely fix issues faster. Signal Sciences’ intelligent Cloud Engine created events after seeing enough malicious requests to confirm an actual attack. This reduced the time taken to detect and remediate issues. Furthermore, Signal Sciences provided the team with leverage in using an intelligent product that provided immediate blocking and actionable intelligence to dig deeper into potential threats.
