Company Overview

‍

‍

PeptiDream is a pharmaceutical company dedicated to drug research and development using cyclic peptides through its proprietary technology, PDPS® (Peptide Discovery Platform System). Founded in 2006 as a bioventure at Tokyo University, the company mission is “to discover the next generation of transformational medicines that will drastically improve the lives of patients worldwide.”

The Challenge

Before working with WafCharm, the company encountered key web security challenges for their launch of a new publicly accessible system:

  • Urgent need for WAF implementation: As this was their first time building a publicly accessible system, immediate WAF implementation was needed.
  • Lack in AWS WAF expertise: The company did not have security personnel who can configure and manage AWS WAF effectively.
  • Tight timeline: The system go-live date was fixed, requiring WAF deployment to complete within a limited timeframe.

The Solution

The company chose WafCharm for its seamless deployment in AWS environment and user-friendly features:

  • High AWS WAF Affinity: WafCharm can be easily attached to AWS WAF, eliminating the need for a completely separate WAF service.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: WafCharm customer support provided expert guidance and assistance. 
  • Simple Interface: WafCharm’s clean UI and log search functionality made it easy for the team to identify which traffic was being blocked and when.
  • Log Visibility: Basic investigations on AWS WAF logs can be done with the WafCharm console easily.

The Results

By implementing WafCharm, the company achieved tangible improvements in both security and operational efficiency:

  • Rapid deployment: WafCharm was set up in less than a day, allowing it to go live on schedule.
  • Reduced false positives: WafCharm produced far less false positives than the team initially expected and has been operating consistently.
  • Enhanced WAF visibility: Unlike traditional managed rules, WafCharm provided clear visibility into rules and logs, making it easy to identify and troubleshoot security issues.
  • Excellent Customer Support: The WafCharm support team was fast, detail-oriented, and responsive, giving the team peace of mind.
