Challenge
Client wanted to improve their load times on their portal while keeping security as a priority. Customer was facing frequent downtime when running their application in Digital Ocean and they were not able to find the root cause of the issue.
Solution
Cloud Kinetics implemented CloudFront with WAF. WAF formed the first layer of security and along with CloudFront, it gave enough warning and time to respond to DDoS attacks. After migrating the application to AWS with scalability, Cloud Kinetics noticed that Auto-scaling was being triggered frequently. Upon analyzing the access logs, CK also noticed that multiple post requests were received at a non-existent path from multiple IPs. Cloud Kinetics implemented WAF and a corresponding rule in WAF to block the requests.
- DDOS Protection using WAF
- Foundation to support future business growth was laid
- Security Enhancement and faster Load Times
- Costs are definitive and controllable
Success Metrics
- Zero downtime owing to DDOS attacks
- 2x improvement in content rendering
