Remind Case Study

Fast: Messages are sent in real time to an entire class, a small group, or just a single person. You can also schedule announcements ahead of time and attach photos and other files.

‍
Accessible: With Remind, you can send text messages straight to any phone, including flip phones. To reach every family, translate your messages into more than 90 languages before you send.

‍
Effective: Use delivery receipts to see who's reading your messages.

Why Wallarm?

‍‍

Wallarm was the first WAF and API Security solution we introduced. We have learned and
developed our security requirements through the WAF search and adoption project. One of the things we appreciated about the Wallarm partnership is the Security Platform functionality we can use “out of the box”. We have applied Wallarm platform settings to fit our security operations requirements through the project. Wallarm platform treats our application attacks in fully automated mode & we keep learning pretty rich platform functionality as we go. - Peter Hamilton, VP Technology, Remind

‍

Since Remind multi-platform applications deal with users (students, teachers, and parents), keeping personal data secure and being compliant is critical. Wallarm solves application & API security with minimal interaction from the Remind IT team, providing automated tailored security rules and running in fully blocking mode.
