DDoS protection for the public sector and government

Cyber-attackers have increasingly focused on politically motivated DoS and DDoS denial of service attacks, as evidenced by attacks against government infrastructure sites around the world. Experts have even theorized that DoS and DDoS attacks have been used in war-related strategies. And if international terrorist organizations were to deploy DDoS attacks to make critical infrastructure government websites unavailable, the results could be disastrous and far reaching.

Preventing and mitigating DDoS attacks is therefore of paramount concern. Prolexic’s cloud -based DDoS scrubbing centers monitor for potential threats and can mitigate the effects of a denial of service attack rapidly and effectively – ensuring your continued online presence.
