About Vigile.AI
Vigile.AI is a cutting-edge cybersecurity platform that provides AI-powered employee data leak assessment and real-time credential monitoring for enterprise organizations. By analyzing over 300 billion breach records, Vigile.AI helps security teams identify vulnerabilities before they become costly breaches.
The Challenge
Vigile.AI faced several critical challenges in building their next-generation threat detection platform:
🔐
Security at Scale
Process billions of breach records in real-time while maintaining zero-trust security and regulatory compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR).
⚡
Performance Requirements
Enterprise customers required sub-second API response times with instant risk scoring across thousands of employees simultaneously.
🌍
Global Availability
Security teams operate 24/7 across multiple time zones, requiring ultra-low latency access from anywhere in the world.
💰
Cost Optimization
Scale automatically to handle massive computational workloads while optimizing costs during low-traffic periods.
The Solution: AWS Serverless Architecture
Vigile.AI partnered with our team to architect a comprehensive serverless solution leveraging AWS managed services. The architecture provides enterprise-grade security, global scalability, and intelligent threat processing capabilities.
Core Architecture Components
| AWS Service |
Implementation & Benefits |
| Amazon CloudFront |
Global edge locations reducing API latency to <50ms worldwide. DDoS protection at the edge with SSL/TLS termination. Response caching reduced backend load by 60%. |
| AWS WAF |
Application-layer protection with rate limiting (10,000 req/5min), geo-blocking, SQL injection & XSS protection, and bot detection. Blocked 2.4M malicious requests in Q4 2025. |
| API Gateway |
RESTful API endpoints with JWT authentication, request validation, and intelligent throttling. Usage plans for enterprise customers with comprehensive API documentation. |
| AWS Lambda |
Serverless compute powering breach queries, AI risk scoring, real-time alerts, and report generation. Auto-scales from 0 to 1,000+ concurrent executions with TensorFlow Lite models. |
| DynamoDB |
NoSQL database storing 300B+ breach records with single-digit millisecond latency. On-demand capacity with GSI for flexible querying. Point-in-time recovery and KMS encryption. |
| CloudFormation |
Infrastructure as Code enabling reproducible deployments in 18 minutes, version control, multi-environment management, and automated disaster recovery with drift detection. |
Implementation Highlights
✓
Security-First Design
Zero-trust architecture with IAM least-privilege, all data encrypted (TLS 1.3, AES-256), VPC endpoints for private communication, and comprehensive CloudTrail logging.
✓
AI Model Optimization
TensorFlow Lite models compressed to <50MB with quantization reducing inference time from 800ms to 120ms. Provisioned concurrency eliminates cold starts.
✓
Robust Data Pipeline
S3 event notifications trigger Lambda for incremental loads. Parallel batch processing with 40,000+ writes/sec to DynamoDB. Dead letter queues ensure no data loss.
✓
Automated Deployment
CI/CD pipeline with blue/green deployments, canary releases (10% traffic for 5 min), automated rollback on errors, and 12-minute deployment time.
