Case Study: Netflix achieves better threat detection and lower false positives with ProtectWise

Netflix Calls ProtectWise Its Top Detection Platform

Netflix, a leading online media company with a fully cloud-based infrastructure on Amazon Web Services, faced significant security challenges. As an early cloud adopter, it found that traditional, hardware-based security solutions with closed systems were incompatible with its needs. The company required a cloud-native platform to protect its valuable intellectual property and defend against threats like phishing and targeted attacks, leading them to partner with ProtectWise.

ProtectWise implemented its cloud-based Grid security platform, which provided Netflix with an open and customizable solution featuring robust API support. This allowed Netflix to integrate its own threat intelligence and algorithms, dramatically improving detection of multi-stage attacks and successful phishing attempts. The results included a lower false-positive rate for security alerts and powerful visualizations that helped demonstrate the security team's value. Furthermore, the solution eliminated the need for Netflix to manage hardware, predict storage needs, or perform maintenance, as ProtectWise automatically scales within the cloud.
