Case Study: LendingTree cuts alert noise 90% and saves $200K with Fortinet FortiCNAPP

LendingTree Cuts Alert Noise by 90%, Transforms Visibility

LendingTree, a cloud-native financial services marketplace, needed to secure a complex multi-cloud environment while migrating legacy systems and meeting strict compliance requirements. The security team faced severe visibility gaps into hosts and containers and was overwhelmed by noisy telemetry—about 200 alerts a day that forced SOC staff to spend roughly 10 hours daily triaging for only a few actionable incidents.

LendingTree deployed Lacework FortiCNAPP to provide anomaly-based detection, context-rich alerts, and unified visibility across clouds, quickly gaining buy-in across security, DevOps, and infrastructure teams. The solution cut alert volume by 90%, reduced investigation time to about 5 minutes per alert, saved roughly $200K annually by decommissioning tools, and made SOC 2 reporting and audits far easier, lowering insurance premiums.
