INDUSTRIES

DDoS protection expertise across a broad spectrum of industries

When Prolexic was founded in 2003, our focus was on the online gaming industry. At that time, it was the industry that received the highest volume of DDoS denial of service attacks as well as some of the most vicious ever launched. But as DDoS denial of service attacks evolved from extortion to “for hire” and then became main stream, Prolexic evolved as well.

As more businesses and government agencies were subjected to crippling DoS and DDoS attacks, more turned to Prolexic for the best DDoS protection. The result? Prolexic now has deep network protection experience and a broad knowledge base from protecting a wide range of industry sectors.
