  • DDoS doesn't have to completely deny availability -- even degrading service will annoy customers.
  • Media coverage from a DDoS availability outage takes months to overcome.
  • DDoS protection for a gaming site pays for itself within a few hours.

Online gaming is thriving. Yet, due to their low value, high volume transactions, online gaming sites are easy targets for criminal. Companies receive extortion threats on a daily basis. If emails demanding money do not work, cyber criminals will bombard a site with millions of requests that it simply cannot process, thereby shutting it down. Technical staff may work with ISPs or Web Hosts to increase bandwidth or move the website to different IP addresses. But in either situation, long delays and increased connectivity costs lower vendor profitability. Prolexic can respond within seconds to filter out bad traffic and deliver purified traffic back to the network, preventing server shutdowns. In this way, the vendor avoids an embarrassing situation that can have a devastating effect on its reputation not to mention profitability.

When each second counts, as they do in online gaming, Prolexic assures vendors and customers of uninterrupted transactions.

"The problem of web attacks is increasing and we are committed to providing our customers with the highest level of protection possible. We chose to work with Prolexic to offer this, because they have the strongest expertise in the field of DDoS and the most dynamic solution to handle the range of attacks we have seen in past months."
