Case Study: Namely achieves faster threat detection, quicker remediation, and lower TCO with Fastly Next‑Gen WAF

Leading HR Platform Prioritizes Innovative Security Partnership

Namely, a cloud-first, all‑in‑one HR platform experiencing rapid growth, needed a production web defense that would fit a lean security team and deliver clear ROI. Security leader Daniel Leslie prioritized technical alignment, ease of use, and low total cost of ownership, and Namely turned to Signal Sciences for web application protection—using Signal Sciences’ intelligent Cloud Engine and blocking capabilities—to bring visibility and measurable defenses to their agile development environment.

Signal Sciences was deployed across Namely’s stack for easy onboarding, automated intelligent blocking, and integrations (e.g., PagerDuty) that cut mean time to detection and mean time to remediate to minutes. The vendor’s actionable, de‑noised alerts helped the team surface issues (including 40x/50x error patterns from legacy code), extend the capacity of a small security/DevOps staff, and achieve a lower total cost of ownership while improving executive and developer visibility into web risk.
