Remind, a communication platform designed to facilitate interaction between educators, students, and parents, supports over 20 million monthly users. With such a vast user base, the platform is entrusted with a significant amount of personal data. The challenge was to ensure the security of this data and maintain compliance with various privacy regulations. The platform needed to protect against potential threats such as brute force attacks and credential stuffing, while also ensuring low false positives. Furthermore, the platform required a solution that could seamlessly integrate with its multi-platform applications and provide automated protection.

MedNet Solutions, a provider of eClinical solutions, was in the process of migrating its Electronic Data Capture (EDC) product, iMedNet, to AWS. As part of this migration, the company needed to implement reliable, scalable security measures to meet customer requests and HIPAA compliance requirements. The company was looking for a Web Application Firewall (WAF) security solution that could monitor and secure their web-based application, iMedNet. Several WAF competitors met the requirements but required the traffic to be routed through their proxy servers, which would necessitate the execution of a BAA agreement and higher costs.
