Case Study: Sauce Labs enhances web application threat control with Fastly Next-Gen WAF

Sauce Labs Enhances Control Over Web Application Threats

Sauce Labs, the world's largest continuous testing cloud provider, needed a single security solution to protect its web applications distributed across a hybrid cloud environment with different application stacks. Their challenge was to defend against potential attack vectors like click fraud and abuse of their service, requiring protection that wouldn't disrupt legitimate user workflows.

The Fastly Next-Gen WAF solution from Signal Sciences provided intelligent blocking of web threats and real-time visibility into application traffic. This allowed Sauce Labs to identify and thwart unique application abuse, such as click fraud from specific geographic locations, using customizable Power Rules to geo-block malicious traffic. The implementation was also praised for its simplicity and performance, ensuring no interruption to legitimate users while successfully curbing service abuse.
