PLXsert: The best DDoS attack intelligence and analysis

Prolexic has a dedicated team of security engineers who monitor and compile information about distributed denial of service (DoS and DDoS) attacks. The Prolexic Security Engineering and Response Team (PLXsert) analyzes global DDoS attack data to understand the sources and attributes associated with individual DDoS attacks. This intelligence is used to identify overall trends and changes in DDoS tactics that will aid your DDoS defense against malicious hackers.

To gather its DDoS attack intelligence, PLXsert monitors malicious cyber threats globally and analyzes DDoS attacks using proprietary techniques and equipment. Through attack data forensics and post-attack analysis, PLXsert is able to build an insightful, global view of DDoS attacks, which the team shares with customers and the public. By sharing timely DDoS intelligence and analysis, PLXsert helps organizations adopt best practices for DDoS defense, and make more informed, proactive decisions about specific DDoS threats.
