Prolexic - Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack prevention
Prolexic Technologies provides class-leading global DDoS mitigation service that protects Internet operations from the debilitating service disruptions caused by DDoS attacks.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become a commonplace threat to online businesses. With over 50,000 distinct attacks per week, DDoS attacks have become highly visible and costly forms of cyber-crime, and are increasingly being proactively addressed by online businesses to avoid devastating costs of DDoS-related downtime..
Prolexic offers class-leading Network Protection Services, globally, and has built a network of people, a wealth of knowledge and experience, and an availability of channel partners to ensure that the most advanced and reliable DDoS mitigation services in the world are easily accessible to online businesses.
The frequency of cyber-attacks and the impact of malicious software reached epidemic proportions in 2009. This trend is continuing to accelerate into 2010 as millions of computers are compromised every month by sophisticated attackers. These infected PCs are collected and controlled in the form of "Botnets," and can be used to launch coordinated Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS) and other cyber-attacks. Today's cyber-criminals perpetually create new attack variants to support increasingly complexity in attack vectors.
The DDoS problem should be of major concern to any company which relies on an Internet presence for its business or for its reputation. Prolexic Technologies works with hundreds of businesses and has been at the forefront of mitigating all varieties and sizes of DDoS and related network attacks since 2003. Prolexic currently detects, fights, and mitigates thousands of DDoS attacks each year, and continually observes new, crafted and specialized DDoS attacks. These attacks look and act more like normal user traffic than ever before, so Prolexic develops counter-measures to combat them. These tools are unique to Prolexic, and combine human-guided mitigation and proprietary technologies with the best commercially available equipment.
Prolexic is capable of dealing with all of today's DDoS threats, addressing the needs of Prolexic's customers, and will continue to lead and develop innovative new methods to successfully mitigate today's and tomorrow's attacks.
Prolexic has been fighting DDoS attacks, implementing "best of breed" practices, and developing its global mitigation network for over seven years. Prolexic's experience - as illustrated across its 24/7 global teams - and the proprietary intellectual property embodied in its mitigation platforms - are simply unmatched. Prolexic's Security Operations Center comprises a staff of mitigation experts who have a combined 50+ years of DDoS monitoring and mitigation experience. This experience grows with each working shift - where Prolexic observes and addresses between 10 and 50 DDoS attack events each day. |
