Case Study: Douglas Omaha Technology Commission (DOTComm) eliminates outages and SSL management headaches with Akamai Technologies Web Application Protector

DOTComm Eliminates False Positives and Hundreds of Hours Managing SSL Certificates with Akamai Web Application Protector

Douglass Omaha Technology Commission (DOTComm) needed to protect more than 100 government websites and applications while dealing with limited staff, budget, false positives, recurring outages, and difficult SSL certificate renewals. After its previous cloud-based WAF failed to perform reliably, DOTComm looked for a managed security solution and chose Akamai Technologies’ Web Application Protector.

Akamai Technologies helped DOTComm migrate dozens of sites quickly with expert guidance and automatic rule updates. The result was virtually eliminated false positives and unplanned outages, no more SSL renewal headaches, and about 100 hours saved annually on certificate management, freeing the team to focus on delivering business value.
