Case Study: LawnStarter gains cloud security visibility and cuts compliance violations with Fortinet FortiCNAPP

LawnStarter reduces compliance violations by 75% with Fortinet

LawnStarter, a cloud platform connecting consumers with outdoor service providers, faced a significant security challenge within its AWS infrastructure. A technology audit revealed the company had limited visibility into security events and lacked mechanisms to identify noncompliant resources or vulnerabilities. To address this, LawnStarter deployed FortiCNAPP from vendor Fortinet for cloud-native application protection.

The Fortinet solution embedded security at multiple stages of LawnStarter’s software delivery life cycle, providing progressive layers of protection from build to production. This implementation significantly improved the company's security posture, reducing compliance violations by 75% over the past year. The results included gaining full visibility into its cloud infrastructure, encrypting 100% of its production database, reducing alert volume, and providing its security team with actionable intelligence.
