Prolexic contracted by Yola to protect 6 mln customer sites

Prolexic Technologies, a provider of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced that Yola, a website builder and hosting service, is using its DDoS mitigation service to protect its corporate web site and servers where the sites of more than 6 million web hosting customers reside. As a business that is 100 percent dependent on the internet and providing uninterrupted availability for its customers' web sites, protection from DDoS attacks was critical for Yola. Since choosing to partner with Prolexic, Prolexic's Security Operations Center (SOC) has mitigated a number of DDOS attacks against Yola that have had peak traffic levels reaching 6.2 Gbps. Prolexic protects Yola and its 6 million customer web sites with DDoS mitigation services that combine proprietary analysis and mitigation tools, plus the expertise of 24/7 real-time monitoring by Prolexic technicians based in the company's Security Operations Center (SOC).
