Case Study: LendingTree cuts alert noise by 90% with Lacework FortiCNAPP
Key results
The challenge
LendingTree is a cloud-native financial services marketplace spanning AWS, Azure, and GCP, with legacy systems migrated in through acquisitions. The security team ran numerous tools across this multi-cloud estate and faced roughly 200 alerts a day, with frontline SOC staff spending about 10 hours a day triaging them. Limited visibility into containers and hosts made it hard to demonstrate secure cloud expansion and stay on top of compliance.
The solution
LendingTree adopted Lacework FortiCNAPP to consolidate security signals from cloud-native, logging, and third-party tools into one platform. Its patented anomaly-detection component baselined each user's cloud environment and alerted on unusual behavior, giving the team context-rich alerts and unified visibility across their multi-cloud footprint.
“Everyone, even non-security teams, saw how Lacework FortiCNAPP could enable us to reach the next level of visibility, compliance, vulnerability management, and threat detection.”

The results, in context
LendingTree cut alert volume by 90% with context-rich alerts and reduced alert investigation time from 10 hours a day to 5 minutes per alert. The company saved $200,000 a year by decommissioning existing tools and generated SOC 2 compliance reports to pass audits and lower insurance premiums.
