Wallarm Delivers Governance and Performance at Scale for Enterprise SaaS Provider

Faced with the challenge of securing thousands of APIs comprising tens of thousands of endpoints across a highly segmented architecture, this enterprise SaaS provider sought a comprehensive API security solution that could scale to one of the largest technology organizations in the world. With sensitive data flowing through rapidly developed APIs and manual security processes struggling to keep pace, the Enterprise Security team turned to Wallarm. After evaluating eight leading solutions, Wallarm stood out for its compatibility with MuleSoft and Heroku, robust API discovery features, and ability to manage data governance in hybrid deployments.

Challenges

The organization faced a series of interconnected challenges:

Rapid API Development

APIs for internal use were being created and released at an accelerated pace, often without proper security measures in place.

Sensitive Data Exposure

These APIs contained critical organizational data, including financial, HR, and personal information, making them high-value targets.

Scalability

With over 1,500 APIs and more than 10,000 endpoints, securing this infrastructure required a solution that could scale without impacting performance.

Inefficient Security Processes

Manual reviews and penetration tests by the Enterprise Security team couldn’t keep up with the speed of API development, leading to potential security gaps.

Data Governance Concerns

Many available solutions violated the organization’s data subprocessor policies by requiring raw data to be sent to the cloud.

These challenges created a critical need for a solution that combined scalability, governance, and integration with existing infrastructure.
