Case Study: eVitamins achieves 90% reduction in IT overhead and stronger, scalable web security with Amazon Web Services (AWS WAF)

eVitamins Improves Security, Cuts IT Overhead Using AWS WAF

eVitamins is a global online health and beauty retailer that ships thousands of orders daily to 85 countries and maintains a large, multilingual catalog. Rapid growth exposed the site to continual threats — HTTP floods, DDoS, malicious IPs, rogue bots, SQL-injection and XSS attempts — and the company was manually monitoring logs and blocking attacks, a time-consuming, non-scalable process.

eVitamins implemented AWS WAF in under a week, using preconfigured protections (Honeypot, IP blacklists via Lambda and third‑party lists), built‑in SQLi/XSS rules, and custom rules while integrating with CloudFront and CloudWatch. The result: about a 90% reduction in IT overhead and application‑layer attacks, 90% faster incident response, roughly 20% faster site response, virtually no downtime and significant cost savings, with automated, scalable protection going forward.
