LeanTaaS Secures Cloud-Based Apps on AWS with Signal Sciences

SaaS-based Healthcare Technology Provider Deploys Award-Winning
Next-Gen WAF to Secure Apps on AWS; Signal Sciences Showcases Security
for Cloud Apps at AWS re:Invent

CULVER CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DevOps–Signal Sciences, the world’s most trusted web defense, today announced
that LeanTaaS, a Silicon Valley healthcare analytics company, has chosen
its revolutionary next-gen web application firewall (WAF) to secure
cloud-based LeanTaaS apps on Amazon Web Services (AWS), as well as meet
HIPAA compliance requirements. Signal Sciences WAF makes it possible for
businesses like LeanTaaS to protect critical web apps on AWS and in
multi-cloud environments from real attacks and threat scenarios. The
solution will be showcased at the Signal Sciences booth #1404 at the AWS
re:Invent conference from November 26-30 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The LeanTaaS iQueue platform uses lean principles, machine learning, and
predictive analytics to digitally transform core operational processes
in healthcare. It mathematically matches the demand for expensive,
constrained healthcare resources with supply. More than 50 hospitals and
health systems rely on the company’s AWS cloud-based platform to
increase patient access, decrease wait times, improve staff
satisfaction, and reduce healthcare delivery costs. The company was
looking for a solution that could not only secure its cloud-based web
services, but scale and provide coverage quickly while not slowing down
development.

“Security is a state of mind, not an end state,” said Chandra Kalle,
Director of Engineering for LeanTaaS. “It has to be baked in throughout
engineering, infrastructure and operations—all the way from specs to
design reviews to code reviews to infrastructure operations. Visibility
and iterative process are important—everyone needs to understand how
their code is being used (and can be abused), design accordingly, and
react quickly.”

LeanTaaS found that traditional signature-based WAFs cannot keep up with
constantly evolving zero-day attacks. The company sought a solution that
can help defend against zero-day attacks and be integrated across all
layers of the infrastructure stack via DevOps. Breaking through the
limitations of legacy WAF solutions, Signal Sciences next-gen WAF
provides advanced detection via its proprietary SmartParse technology,
which uses lexical analysis and telemetry data, and offers easy
deployment options.

With Signal Sciences, LeanTaaS can now detect and block known-bad
threats as well as gain deep visibility across all the company’s web
services—while maintaining HIPAA compliance. For coverage against
advanced threats, LeanTaaS uses Signal Sciences Power Rules to quickly
and easily add defenses for unique application use cases.

“We’re constantly seeking to incorporate state-of-the-art technology to
improve our security posture. Signal Sciences not only blocks known
malicious attacks, but also uses a variety of techniques and telemetry
data to detect and block zero-day attacks as they happen. We were able
to deploy it in blocking mode under 40 minutes, and it seamlessly
integrated into our CI/CD pipeline. We’re quite thrilled with it,” added
Kalle.
