Case Study: eVitamins achieves 90% reduced IT overhead, stronger security, and faster site performance with Amazon CloudFront (and AWS WAF)

eVitamins Improves Security, Cuts IT Overhead using AWS WAF

eVitamins, a global online retailer, faced persistent malicious web traffic, content scraping, and application‑layer attacks that increased downtime and IT overhead. To gain scalable, cost‑effective protection they implemented AWS WAF for web‑application firewalling and used Amazon CloudFront for website content delivery as part of the AWS WAF Security Automations solution.

Using Amazon CloudFront alongside AWS WAF (with preconfigured protections like Honeypot, IP Blacklists tied to Spamhaus, and Lambda integrations) eVitamins was up and running in under a week and automated blocking of bad actors. The deployment cut IT overhead by about 90%, reduced application‑layer attacks by roughly 90%, sped incident response by 90%, improved site response time ~20%, and eliminated costly downtime—saving the company hundreds of thousands of dollars.
