Apps Purchases: 10+ Million Software Purchases
Founded in 2010, APPS RUN THE WORLD is a leading technology intelligence and market-research company devoted to the application space. Leveraging a rigorous data-centric research methodology, we ask the simple B2B sales intelligence question: Who’s buying enterprise applications from whom and why?
Our global team of 50 researchers has been studying the digital transformation initiatives being undertaken by 2 million + companies including technographic segmentation of 10 million ERP, EPM, CRM, HCM, Procurement, SCM, Treasury software purchases, aggregating massive amounts of data points that form the basis of our forecast assumptions and perhaps the rise and fall of certain vendors and their products on a quarterly basis.
Apps Run The World Buyer Insight and Technographics Customer Database has over 100 data fields that detail company usage of emerging technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, IoT, Blockchain, Autonomous Database, and different on-prem and cloud apps by function, customer size (employees, revenues), industry, country, implementation status, year deal won, partner involvement, Line of Business Key Stakeholders and key decision-makers contact details, including the systems being used by Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies.

Kaiser Permanente | Non Profit | 223883 | $100.1B | United States | Akamai | Akamai Kona Site Defender | Secure Web Gateways (SWG) | 2015 | n/a | In 2015, Kaiser Permanente implemented Akamai Kona Site Defender as an enterprise Web Security and Protection solution, deploying edge based Web Application Firewall and DDoS mitigation controls to protect multiple web applications. The implementation was evaluated, designed, deployed and operationalized to provide sustained application layer and volumetric attack defenses across the organization. The Akamai Kona Site Defender deployment included configuration of WAF rule sets, DDoS scrubbing and mitigation policies, and Site Shield to limit origin exposure, reflecting standard Web Application Firewall and DDoS orchestration capabilities. Akamai Kona Site Defender was configured for policy based enforcement at the edge, including custom rule tuning and virtual patching workflows typical of Web Security and Protection implementations. Operationally the project delivered multitier DDoS and WAF protection for multiple applications, with Site Shield used to restrict direct origin access and reinforce edge enforcement of traffic. The Akamai Kona Site Defender implementation was executed as a discrete project, with a stated total project cost of $1.2M, and was integrated into application traffic flows to centralize perimeter protection for web properties. Kaiser Permanente concurrently evaluated and implemented adjacent security programs to harden the broader attack surface, including a replacement of enterprise Vulnerability Management from McAfee Vulnerability Management to Qualys Guard Vulnerability Management with a total project cost of $2.4M, and a Mobile Threat Defense rollout covering 85K devices with a total project cost of $1.8M. Governance activities included centralized policy management and operational handoff to security operations for ongoing tuning and change control tied to the Web Security and Protection posture. | |

NBCUniversal | Media | 35000 | $39.2B | United States | Akamai | Akamai Kona Site Defender | Secure Web Gateways (SWG) | 2017 | n/a | In 2017, NBCUniversal provisioned Akamai Kona Site Defender as part of its Secure Web Gateways (SWG) posture to centralize perimeter application protection. The deployment explicitly provided management of Fore Scout NAC and Akamai Kona Site Defender WAF, aligning network access control and web application protection under a single operational construct. Implementation architecture positioned Akamai Kona Site Defender as an edge facing WAF within the Secure Web Gateways (SWG) layer, handling HTTP and API traffic inspection, signature and behavioral rule enforcement, and bot mitigation. Fore Scout NAC was managed alongside the WAF to enforce contextual access controls, enabling policy driven responses that tied endpoint posture to application level protection and enforcement workflows. Operational scope covered NBCUniversal security operations and network operations teams, with configuration and policy lifecycle managed centrally to support application security, incident detection, and remediation workflows. Governance emphasized centralized policy authoring, change control for WAF rule sets, and integration of alerts into security operations processes to coordinate Fore Scout NAC and Akamai Kona Site Defender responses. The deployment leveraged core capabilities of Akamai Kona Site Defender, restated as Akamai Kona Site Defender, to provide web application firewalling, traffic anomaly detection, and automated countermeasures as part of the Secure Web Gateways (SWG) stack, linking NBCUniversal Akamai Kona Site Defender Secure Web Gateways (SWG) functions to enterprise network and application security teams. | |
