• DDoS mitigation is an area far removed from the core business, and should be out-sourced.
• Costs of in-sourcing and staffing a DDoS solution are very high, and the experience needed to fight DDoS is very expensive to develop
• Cyber-activisim is rising fast, and it is now a mainstream way to express political / philosophical opinion through DDoS

A new type of censorship has emerged over the Internet as groups aim to shut down sites whose views or political positions conflict with theirs. The use of DDoS attacks to paralyze or eliminate free speech is an emerging threat to free speech around the world. Blocking this type of Web assault is difficult or impossible because the host server has no way of distinguishing between legitimate and bogus requests for access. Prolexic can solve this problem, monitoring and filtering out malicious traffic so that legitimate requests reach a network’s infrastructure.
