Case Study: Target strengthens cloud security and automation with StackStorm

StackStorm - Customer Case Study

Target uses StackStorm to help its Cloud Platform Engineering and security teams maintain a secure, compliant cloud and hybrid cloud environment while still giving developers room to move quickly. Luke Marty, Lead Technical Architect for Cloud Security, needed a way to monitor events and traffic across the platform and ensure that best practices were being followed from the cloud provider layer through the application stacks.

With StackStorm acting as an “eye in the sky” and orchestration layer, Target can watch events in near real time, verify actions, and address risks before they become threats. The solution helps tie together tools and scripts into a repeatable automation framework, improving efficiency and maintaining environment integrity. While no specific numerical metrics were provided, Target reported stronger security oversight, better compliance support, and more effective automation with StackStorm.
