Mobility Technology Company Secures Shared Services with Wallarm

To safeguard critical internal development tools and provide robust security for shared IT infrastructure, this mobility technology company turned to Wallarm. As a provider of Kubernetes-based Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for a major automotive brand and the related initiatives, they sought a scalable, cost-effective solution to protect internal applications and offer actionable insights to product teams. Wallarm’s seamless integration, API discovery capabilities, and real-time alert system enabled the organization to protect both production environments and internal tools, like those from Atlassian, at a massive scale.

Challenges

The organization faced unique challenges in managing security for its vast development IT infrastructure:

Complex Infrastructure

Operating Kubernetes on AWS and Azure, the organization needed a plug-in solution that could protect applications without adding latency or complexity.

Internal Tool Protection

Critical tools like JIRA, Confluence, and GitLab generated high traffic but were undervalued as security priorities by management, leaving them vulnerable to oversight.

A Demanding Partner

Their parent company was reluctant to adopt new technologies that might introduce performance risks unless significant value was demonstrated.

Unaddressed Vulnerabilities

Despite having a robust security infrastructure with SIEMs and monitoring teams, they lacked targeted measures for internal tools and development environments.

These challenges created gaps in visibility and protection for both production and internal systems, necessitating a solution that could address these without overburdening teams or infrastructure.
