Case Study: Silver Fern Farms achieves proactive DDoS protection and real-time threat visibility with Imperva Cloud WAF

Silver Fern Farms Proactively works to shield against potential DDoS threats with Imperva Application Security

Silver Fern Farms, a leading New Zealand grass‑fed red meat exporter founded in 1948, needed to protect its growing internet‑facing operations as digital transformation increased exposure to cyber threats. Faced with regional DDoS incidents and rising regulatory and operational risk, the company identified gaps in its application security and sought a proactive, easy‑to‑manage solution to shield its infrastructure and maintain customer service and business continuity.

Working with Chillisoft, Silver Fern Farms deployed Imperva Cloud WAF — part of a multi‑layered application security suite that includes advanced bot, API and DDoS protection — and benefited from fast onboarding, near‑zero false positives and responsive local support. The solution delivered real‑time monitoring and stakeholder reporting, reduced operational disruption risk, improved website performance and gave leadership confidence that the company was proactively protecting its systems and reputation.
