Case Study: Scribd achieves scalable cloud security and faster detection with Panther Labs

Scribd Migrates to the Cloud with Panther

Scribd, the ebook and audiobook subscription service, migrated its entire infrastructure from a legacy data center to AWS and needed a better way to secure a rapidly expanding cloud environment. As its AWS footprint grew, Scribd struggled with large volumes of security data, inconsistent configurations, and limited visibility in native AWS tools, especially across development and production accounts.

Panther Labs helped Scribd extend native AWS security with real-time event and infrastructure monitoring, granular custom alerts, and out-of-the-box detections for AWS misconfigurations. Using Panther’s detection-as-code approach and Python-based rules, Scribd improved security visibility across 20+ AWS accounts, reduced mean time to detect, and increased productivity by cutting down false positives and speeding infrastructure creation with fewer misconfigurations.
