Security leaders of the retail industry, ranging from medium to large size companies, mention pretty similar pain points. Here is a breakdown of the most popular and how Wallarm addresses them in Fortune500 accounts.
I need to protect both legacy apps and modern APIs that we're moving from private cloud to public cloud providers
Our apps suffer from account takeovers and different kind of automated fraud with customer loyalty programs that evolve over time
My old WAF constantly requires tedious tuning and team resources. Still, I can’t really use it in a blocking mode.
Parts of my business need isolated consoles to manage WAF for their assets
I need to find a product that my DevOps / Infrastructure team would vet for usage in our cloud native environment and massive load
Wallarm has many cool features to help DevOps teams strike the delicate balance between the security of the application and the very short release cycles.

I need to stay in compliance with PCI regulations
Wallarm offers a single source of control for the security of websites, applications, and APIs, hosted across multiple cloud environments and Kubernetes clusters.
Unlike traditional WAFs, Wallarm doesn’t need manual tuning and investments into ongoing maintenance to minimize false positives. It just works.
Wallarm protects against credential stuffing, API abuse, coupon codes enumeration and other malicious activity that is typical for Ecommerce companies.
Give every team a level of visibility and control over the protection of their assets while keeping an option to manage the entire portfolio from a single dashboard.
DevOps teams like Wallarm as they can automate deployment, updates and monitoring with their existing tools such as Terraform or Ansible. It also meets the most strict requirements for added latency.
Wallarm strengthens security posture and keeps the traffic on premises while helping to meet PCI compliance. Wallarm is SOC2 Type II compliant.

Scanning the attack surface
Every Thursday morning, after an application update, Joanna starts by making sure that security rules are updated to match the updated APIs. It's a common occurrence when an app update causes new false positives. Joanna receives complains from the support and DevOps teams regarding WAF blocking.
It is an often situation when an app update cause new false positives. Joanna receives complains from the support and DevOps teams regarding WAF blocking.
Joanna's team temporarily turns off protection and manually verifies which rule triggered blocking of legitimate users.
When the rules are updated, Joanna works with the DevOps manager to ensure an updated ACL will no longer disrupt application operation.
Day-in-the-life before our product
Day-in-the-life after Wallarm
Wallarm's WAF is installed instead of the AWS WAF to better protect applications and APIs.
Joanna's team no longer needs to update security rules as Wallarm doesn't require manual tuning.
Individual API calls with malicious requests are blocked without disrupting operation of the application for the rest of the IP address in the similar locale.
All attacks are automatically verified to see if there's any potential of exposed security issues.

Top‑10 Security Challenges for European Retail Companies
Webinar | May 14th at 10 am GMT+1 / 11 am CET
1. Which appsec threats are the worst for Retail
Besides OWASP Top 10 and other threats that web-apps typically face, online retailers also see a lot of specific trouble due to different kinds of API Abuse, fraud, and credential stuffing (ATO).
2. How to protect assets in multi-cloud environment
Infrastructures distributed across different CDNs and apps hosted in multiple regions/clouds create a whole new set of challenges for security leaders and practitioners.
3. Why do legacy security tools fail modern threats
Massive loads of traffic. A high velocity of development. Strict requirements for latency and false positives. A new setting makes traditional tools not only inefficient but sometimes harmful for business.
