As Noname Security scaled rapidly, AWS cloud costs increased, and visibility decreased. The company partnered with CloudZone to implement a structured FinOps cost optimization approach that reduced monthly AWS spend by 50% within three weeks.

About Noname

Founded in 2020, Noname Security helps enterprises secure managed and unmanaged APIs without agents or network changes. Its platform protects against data leaks, authorization issues, abuse, misuse, and data corruption across cloud environments.

Industry: Cybersecurity

As Noname Security scaled rapidly, AWS cloud costs increased, and visibility decreased. The company partnered with CloudZone to implement a structured FinOps cost optimization approach that reduced monthly AWS spend by 50% within three weeks.

The Challenge

When Noname’s VP of R&D took ownership of CloudOps, cloud costs were rising quickly while resources remained underutilized, especially across development and automation environments. The company needed to reduce waste, regain control, and implement a structured FinOps approach to prevent ongoing overspending.

The Solution

CloudZone partnered with Noname for a focused three-week FinOps optimization sprint, delivering fast and measurable impact. The engagement included:

  • Automated scheduling of EC2 instances
  • Cleanup of unused EBS volumes and Elastic IPs
  • Introduction of one-year Savings Plans for long-term efficiency
  • Implementation of FinOps best practices and KPIs

The Results

Within weeks, Noname achieved a 50% reduction in monthly cloud spend. The optimization eliminated significant waste sources, including always-on dev environments, unused storage and IPs, and reliance on on-demand pricing. Beyond cost savings, CloudZone’s structured approach improved transparency and built trust between engineering and finance teams, creating a foundation for continuous optimization.
