Today’s DDoS-as-a-service and politically motivated DDoS cyberattacks are more powerful than ever. Even worse, DDoS hackers are using increasingly sophisticated DDoS attack signatures that overcome the capabilities of most hosting services and content delivery networks – but not VirtualRoad.org.

VirtualRoad.org safely hosts independent news media and human rights web sites whose freedom of expression is threatened in their home countries. It’s a tough job, because politically motivated DDoS hacktivists target these sites with increasingly large and complex application Layer 7 DDoS attacks and DNS server attacks.

Even though its clients’ web sites continue to be DDoS attack targets due to the nature of their content, they are far less vulnerable to being taken down or disrupted because VirtualRoad.org’s DDoS protection services are backed by Prolexic.

In this case study you’ll learn how to stop political DDoS attacks and how Prolexic helps VirtualRoad.org enhance its internal DDoS mitigation capabilities against hactivism.
