Case Study: Aruba achieves faster, more secure global application delivery with Searce and AWS WAF

Aruba Secures Their AWS Workloads Using Service AWS WAF, a Fully Managed Web Application Firewall

Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, faced challenges with slow content delivery, high latency, and manual infrastructure provisioning for their global network access solutions. They sought a secure, seamless experience for their users and needed to automate their entire environment as they moved to the cloud. To address these issues, they engaged vendor Searce for a solution involving AWS services, including a fully managed Web Application Firewall (WAF).

Searce implemented an automated infrastructure using Terraform and deployed AWS WAF with managed and custom rules to enhance security. They added CloudFront distribution and implemented field-level encryption, which resolved 50% of Aruba's latency issues, reducing it from 10ms to 2ms. The solution also streamlined the release process with a CI/CD pipeline using AWS DevOps tools, making deployments error-free and reducing the release cycle while improving front-end server security.
