A Fortune 500 global commerce leader processing over $100B in annual transactions engaged Akraya to deploy advanced runtime application security capabilities.
Challenges Faced
This section outlines the core difficulties and pain points the client was experiencing. It provides context on the hurdles that needed to be overcome before achieving the successful outcome.
Traditional security testing methods could not detect vulnerabilities actively executing within production applications.
Java Application Exposure Amplifying Risk
With thousands of Java-based applications powering core commerce functions, the client faced disproportionate risk in their Java ecosystem.
Post-Breach Lessons Demanding Proactive Defense
The security breaches at other Fortune 500 peers demonstrated that sophisticated attackers exploit runtime vulnerabilities that evade traditional testing.
Akraya’s Strategic Solution
Akraya deployed a specialized IAST (Interactive Application Security Testing) engineering capability to transform runtime vulnerability detection -
Akraya developed and deployed isolated test applications to validate IAST agent functionality without risking production environments
Measurable Outcomes
Operational
44 Critical Applications are now runtime-monitored which expanded IAST coverage across most sensitive Java applications.
Financial
By preventing exploitation scenarios , $210M in potential breach costs avoided.
Business
Runtime protection ensures 200M+ user transactions execute without undetected vulnerability exploitation.
Conclusion
Akraya transformed industry lessons into actionable defense for one of the world's largest commerce platforms. By deploying runtime security agents across 44 critical applications and establishing real-time vulnerability detection capabilities, we closed the gap between traditional testing and runtime reality.
