What is Prolexic?

Prolexic, now part of Akamai Technologies, is a globally recognized, cloud-based DDoS protection service. It is engineered to stop the largest and most complex DDoS attacks, mitigating risk and securing network traffic against not only DDoS but also associated threats like ransomware. The service reroutes traffic through its scrubbing centers, where malicious packets are identified and filtered out, allowing legitimate traffic to flow unimpeded to the customer's network, thus ensuring business continuity.

Who it's for:

Prolexic is targeted at large enterprises, government agencies, and financial institutions that are high-profile targets for devastating DDoS attacks. It is ideal for organizations with critical online services that cannot afford any downtime and require a dedicated, always-on defense backed by a Security Operations Center (SOC).

Our verdict:

As a pioneer in the DDoS mitigation space, Prolexic offers enterprise-grade protection with a proven history of defending against the most severe attacks. Its integration with Akamai's platform enhances its capabilities, making it a premier choice for organizations where network availability is non-negotiable.
