e-Commerce
While worldwide e-Commerce revenue is rising each year, companies that conduct a high percentage of their business over the Internet are increasingly vulnerable to DDoS attacks. If a site is unavailable or transactions cannot be processed, brand loyalty and reputation can be adversely affected – often for months after the attack itself. Even worse, the bottom line impact can be significant. Industry analyst firms estimate the cost of a 24-hour outage for a large e-Commerce company can approach US$30 million.
Unfortunately, e-Commerce sites are among those most commonly targeted by cyber criminals. While a prolonged attack or repeated series of attacks can result in revenue loss, e-Commerce providers do not have to be a passive victim. Prolexic ensures site availability by absorbing and eliminating malicious traffic “in the cloud” and keeping traffic flowing to your site that is clean and DDoS free. The best news of all is that DDoS protection for e-Commerce sites often pays for itself within several hours. Just like many e-Commerce companies outsource content and web site maintenance, it makes sense to outsource DDoS protection to an expert like Prolexic, leaving you free to concentrate on your core business.

- Prolexic customers remain online before, during, and after DDoS attacks
- On-demand mitigation services have a minimal effect on customer traffic
- Remote monitoring services (optional) enable Prolexic to detect potential attacks before they have any effect on your clean traffic
