In today’s digital landscape, where applications and APIs have become the backbone of business operations, the need for robust security measures is paramount. However, the rapid proliferation of APIs and the increasing complexity of organizational environments have posed significant challenges for security and DevOps teams. The surge in API traffic, as indicated by Postman’s State of API Report, which predicts 1.7 billion active APIs by 2030, has made API security a critical concern. With 83% of web traffic attributed to API calls, the security of these interfaces has become a focal point. Gartner’s prediction that APIs would become the most frequent attack vector, leading to data breaches for enterprise web applications, has already come true. The security landscape is witnessing the emergence of new API security exploits almost daily, a trend that could soon result in over 17 new API exploits per day.

In this highly vulnerable and complex landscape, organizations require security solutions that not only provide robust protection but also simplify implementation and reduce operational burdens.

The partnership between Wallarm and CloudFlow proved to be more than just a typical vendor relationship. It became a testament to the power of collaboration, where two entities genuinely understood each other’s goals and actively worked together to achieve them. This partnership resulted in a seamless and productive working relationship that benefited both organizations and, more importantly, their customers.

From a technological standpoint, CloudFlow’s flexibility and robust CDN capabilities made it an ideal match for Wallarm’s security solutions. The ability to deploy Wallarm’s filtering nodes and services quickly in new data centers provided unmatched agility. Wallarm’s filtering nodes could be deployed within CloudFlow’s platform in a docker container, allowing customers to be deployed, provisioned, and protected within minutes.

CloudFlow’s technical expertise, particularly in optimizing cloud-native environments, played a pivotal role. Wallarm found that CloudFlow not only provided the necessary technology but also understood the intricacies of cloud-native deployments. As Diaz notes, “CloudFlow really understands how to optimize cloud-native environments from a technical perspective.” This expertise complemented Wallarm’s offering, creating a synergy that enhanced the overall security solution.

Wallarm reduced implementation and operational burdens with CloudFlow, providing customers with automated, cost-effective, and flexible security solutions while fostering a close and collaborative partnership.
