Case Study: Rocket Lawyer achieves secure, agile AI-powered legal services with Fastly

Rocket Lawyer blocks Log4j threats with Fastly's Next-Gen WAF

Rocket Lawyer, an online legal service for individuals and small businesses, needed a more agile and secure infrastructure to support its new AI-powered legal assistant and ensure reliability for its users. Their legacy systems caused slow development, operational delays, and engineering silos, which was a challenge for their dynamic, compute-heavy tools. To overcome this, they partnered with Fastly to utilize its edge cloud platform and Next-Gen WAF.

Fastly provided a developer-friendly, API-first solution that enabled infrastructure as code, breaking down engineering silos and empowering content teams. This allowed for seamless backend migrations, instant configuration updates, and rapid cache purges with no impact on end users. The implementation of Fastly's Next-Gen WAF proactively blocked threats, including providing immediate virtual patches for critical vulnerabilities like Log4j, ensuring high-stakes security without operational emergencies.
