The challenge

Fossil, a global consumer goods and eCommerce company operating over 1,000 active web properties, faced bot attacks and slow response times from legacy vendors. At times the team waited around two weeks for issues to be addressed through outside support.

The solution

Fossil centralized its public web and ecommerce properties on Cloudflare's connectivity cloud, using WAF, bot management, CDN, and Page Shield so its teams could independently identify, triage, and mitigate threats.

With Cloudflare, we have access to better information and a lot more mitigation tools. Rather than relying on outside support, we can independently identify, triage, and address issues in 30 minutes.
