Akamai Extends Its Industry-Leading DDoS Defense with Prolexic On-Prem and Hybrid Options Powered by Corero
Partnership will offer customers best-in-class security and reliability
DDoS attacks continue to be one of the most prevalent forms of cyberattacks. According to
Prolexic is a cloud-based DDoS protection platform designed to stop attacks before they reach applications, data centers, and internet-facing infrastructure. Now organizations of all sizes that require on-premises DDoS defenses, whether in addition to cloud-based protection or as a stand-alone solution as part of their own network, can leverage Akamai Prolexic On-Prem, which is powered by
"As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid workloads, the question of whether to deploy on-premises DDoS protection or subscribe to a cloud DDoS provider is not an 'either-or' choice. The partnership between
Akamai Prolexic On-Prem, powered by
Network services providers, hosting and cloud vendors, and businesses offering SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS can now leverage Akamai Prolexic On-Prem and Hybrid solutions to protect their own environments and provide DDoS protection services to their customers. With Akamai Prolexic On-Prem, the operational costs related to transferring traffic to the cloud can be eliminated for the vast majority of small, fast, and subsaturating attacks, while the cloud-based defenses of Akamai Prolexic defend the network against sophisticated high-volume multi-vector attacks.
The new Prolexic Hybrid solution also allows companies to protect data-intense real-time services, like videoconferencing, gaming, voice, or multimedia applications, where low-latency local protection is preferred. The hybrid solution lets organizations bring DDoS defense on-premises while still getting the safety of Prolexic's massive cloud-based defense capacity to defend against large, sustained attacks.
"It's no secret that DDoS attacks are becoming bigger and more sophisticated. In just the past two years, seven out of 10 attacks observed were the largest ever mitigated by Akamai, and 65% of attacks we are seeing are highly targeted multi-vector attacks," said
Both companies plan to deepen the collaboration further to provide industry-leading infrastructure security solutions by extending seamless cloud signaling, automation, and threat intelligence reporting.
