Public Sector
Cyber-attacks have increasingly become political in motivation during the last several years, as evidenced by attacks to government infrastructure sites in the U.S., U.K. and South Korea. DDoS attacks are theorized to have been used in war-related strategies – including attacks that took Georgian public websites offline during a period of concurrent military attacks in August 2008. Should international terrorist organizations deploy DDoS to successfully make critical infrastructure government websites unavailable, the results could potentially be disastrous and far reaching.
Preventing and mitigating attacks are therefore of paramount concern. Prolexic’s globally-based scrubbing centers monitor for potential threats and can mitigate the effects of attacks rapidly and effectively – ensuring online presence.

Prolexic’s managed services can be a critical component of your defense strategy.
