DDoS protection for SaaS and cloud providers

Businesses offering scalable Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud-based solutions and services continue to grow in popularity. For cloud and SaaS providers to meet quality expectations, customers need to feel confident that their data, applications and services are always available and secure. However, denial of service DoS and DDoS attacks are the most prominent threat to the online availability of Internet-facing and cloud-based applications. Cloudgate DDoS defense has become a strategic priority.

Proactive SaaS and cloud-based providers are no longer willing to risk downtime due to a denial of service attack on their application servers that may disrupt their businesses for even an hour. The reality is that local network appliances and homegrown DDoS protection solutions are often inadequate in the face of the diverse range of powerful DoS and DDoS denial of service attacks that Prolexic observes every day. Prolexic’s suite of DDoS protection and mitigation services prevents ground to cloud DDoS attacks from taking your business offline, giving you and your customers the peace of mind that data is always available.
