A publicly traded global commercial real estate services firm with nearly $10B (USD) in annual revenue offers commercial real estate services for companies and investors in 60 countries, providing a wide variety of technology-driven solutions and services as well as relying on technology to manage company business. Facing a long and costly traditional “find & fix” vulnerability management process, the Client contacted Waratek to evaluate the company’s Secure compiler-based runtime application security solution. In less than eight days, Waratek Secure implemented “always-on” security protection for threats to the OWASP Top 10, SANS 25, and zero-day attacks.

Global University

Improves Protection and Reduces Cost With Waratek & Rimini Street Solutions

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a leading Australian University. Home to nearly 50,000 students, it is providing real-world infrastructure, learning and teaching, and graduate skills to the next generation of change-makers. Prior to evaluating Waratek, the customer assessed hundreds of internal web applications, finding multiple Java versions that required quarterly patching of security vulnerabilities. As a result, the Company determined that a traditional upgrade or patching program was not feasible due to operational burdens and financial costs. Waratek is integrated into the Company’s application hosting platform and applies virtual patches that are the code equivalent of an Oracle Critical Virtual Patch (CPU).

Virtual Patching While Under Attack

A leading provider of information technology and mobility applications and services for U.S. hospitals and health systems, sought Waratek to implement new strategy to thwart crypto-miners attacking Oracle ERP.

After identifying the nature of the attack, Rimini Street recommended Waratek, a Preferred Solution Provider working side-by-side to mitigate the threat.

Hear From Our Customers

“Many of the security patches from Oracle are released on a quarterly basis, often addressing vulnerabilities which are up to 12 months old; that means your system may have been vulnerable for 12 months. By using more modern security approaches we found we would be able to better protect our systems…”

Scott Lawry, Associate Director Solution Design and Delivery at QUT

“I recall during the initial discussions of the solution, I was a bit skeptical of what I was hearing. Day one protection, easy installation, customizable rules etc. My skepticism quickly diminished. Our deployment was one of the easiest I’ve experienced, and we reaped the benefits of Day One protection the moment we “turned it on.”

Company Corporate Solutions Manager, Global Commercial Real Estate Company

“A week after we installed the Waratek solution we got hit with more deserialization attacks,” the CISO says. “Because of Waratek’s solution, the attacks were immediately stopped, and the solution automatically alerted us to the attempt. All of the hacker’s malicious scripts failed, which took us to a new level of confidence — the Waratek virtual patch is providing the protection we need, better and faster than we ever thought possible.”

- Leading Healthcare IT Company

“This approach protects our software much quicker than (physical) patches and without disrupting operations.”
