Online Gaming
The online gaming business is competitive and with millions of low value transactions occurring each hour, online gaming sites are easy targets for criminal attackers. Even a few hours offline can result in millions of dollars of revenue losses.
Unfortunately, the online gambling industry has, historically, been susceptible to cyber-attacks and specifically to DDoS attacks. Many attack successes originated within the online gaming industry, and as a result, in 2003 Prolexic was originally founded to address the needs of this community. Prolexic understands the need for these organizations to maintain their online presence 100% of the time and designs its service offerings and technologies to ensure this occurs.
Generally, the technical staffs of these businesses will often complement the Prolexic service by working with their ISPs or web-hosting companies, increasing bandwidth, and/or installing on-premise mitigation hardware. However – Prolexic’s expertise and investment in bandwidth, appliances, and technologies dedicated to DDoS mitigation that ensures that these attacks will be mitigated in minutes – or even seconds – and that the attackers will not reach their goal of disrupting these real-time online businesses. As such, Prolexic’s DDoS protection for a gaming site often pays for itself within a few hours.
Why online gaming companies choose Prolexic
- Prolexic customers remain online before, during, and after DDoS attacks
- On-demand mitigation services have a minimal effect on customer traffic
