Case Study: LifeLock achieves real-time fraud detection and up to 30% cost savings with Redis Enterprise (Redis Labs)

LifeLock Counts on Redis Enterprise for Fraud Mitigation

LifeLock, an identity-theft protection company (now part of Symantec), needed real-time client authentication and continuous fraud mitigation across millions of transactions. Their existing databases and analytics platforms couldn’t deliver the low-latency, highly available key-value store and seamless scaling required for instant fraud detection without complex development and high operational overhead.

LifeLock deployed Redis Enterprise as an in-memory key-value store for caching, user session state, mobile apps and fraud detection, benefiting from clustering, persistence, auto-failover and zero-downtime scaling. The change cut authentication latency significantly, lowered operational costs and improved reliability—delivering up to ~30% cost savings, 30–50% faster time-to-market, 70–90% reduced downtime, 50–70% fewer specialized resources and much more stable performance—making Redis Enterprise a critical primary database for LifeLock.
