Case Study: Cybrary achieves real-time visibility and stronger web attack protection with Fastly Next-Gen WAF

Cybrary needed to modernize their security infrastructure to gain real-time visibility and complete attack coverage over their business critical applications

Cybrary, an online training and career development platform, faced a variety of attacks that its legacy web application firewall could not effectively stop. The solution proved difficult to configure, provided incomplete attack coverage, and lacked real-time visibility, forcing their small infrastructure team to invest significant time and resources. They needed a modern WAF from a vendor like Fastly Next-Gen WAF to provide better protection and usability.

Cybrary chose to implement the Signal Sciences Next-Gen WAF from Fastly. The solution was installed in minutes and immediately began blocking attacks the old system was missing. It provided complete protection, a unified dashboard, and real-time Slack alerts, giving the team full visibility without requiring additional staff. This low-maintenance approach effectively secured their web properties and freed up valuable engineering time.
