Vuclip Deploys Wallarm for API Protection and Attack Detection
Executive Sponsor: Jishnu Kinwar, VP of Technical Operations
Location: San Jose, CA
Vuclip Inc. implemented AI-powered application security provider Wallarm's technology to scan for vulnerabilities, detect attacks, and protect its API. Wallarm’s easy setup took Vuclip from zero to full protection in under an hour by blacklisting malicious IPs and bad actors and whitelisting those it grants free access to streaming bandwidth, without confusing the two. Wallarm does this with almost zero false positives and it scales with existing systems, including Vuclip's NGINX farm, so that Vuclip can focus more on creating great content and less on security threats.
