Case Study: Prezi achieves faster, smarter web application protection with Fastly

Empowering a Cloud-Based Platform with Customizable Rules for Security and Developers

Prezi, a cloud-based presentation platform with more than 100 million users, needed a better way to protect its web applications as it scaled. Its existing open-source IDS/IPS tool was labor-intensive and produced too much noise, so Prezi turned to Fastly’s Next-Gen WAF for automated, enterprise-grade detection and response.

Fastly implemented customizable security rules, easy API-based SIEM integration, and smart alerting/blocking that reduced manual work and improved monitoring. With Fastly, Prezi was up and running quickly without additional maintenance cost, gained better detection for application-specific threats, and improved response to DoS and DDoS scenarios.
