Prolexic Provides Real-Time, Granular DDoS Attack Data for Deep Network Analysis

HOLLYWOOD, FL – Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced today that it will provide customers with real-time data and analysis of their network perimeter, empowering them with much of the same information it uses to prevent and mitigate DDoS attacks. As a result, Prolexic customers can watch and analyze DDoS attacks in real-time with drill-down detail into the attack mitigation industry's most granular data for deep network analysis.

An industry first, this includes views of real-time HTTP and HTTPS request patterns for live traffic, as well as a unified, timeline view of changes associated with their external sensors, monitoring, attacks and configurations. This detailed information is presented in a converged view in the Prolexic Portal so users do not have to navigate multiple screens to piece together key data.

"Prolexic customers want more than a high level summary of the top 10 DDoS attacks," said Stuart Scholly, president at Prolexic. "They want to be able to diagnose potential problems as they happen. That means important details can't be glossed over and then summarized 15 minutes (or several hours) later. While we do provide big picture views, the Prolexic Portal allows users to quickly drill down into hundreds of metrics for a clearer picture of what is happening now."

To support this data-rich real-time analysis, Prolexic invested heavily to upgrade its big data architecture to support its analytics platform. While most industry portals use batch processing and present aggregated data, Prolexic built a low-latency, high-resolution data architecture to provide customers with the industry's most granular data in real-time. This enables Prolexic customers and staff in the company's Security Operation Center to watch events – as they happen – and respond more quickly.

"Prolexic is the first DDoS mitigation provider to extend its portal experience down to this level," said Scholly. "Real-time analysis is the best way to understand how an attack evolves and counteract it, and this is what the Prolexic portal now provides to all of our customers."

The public can preview the Prolexic Portal in Booth 2539 at the RSA Conference, Feb. 25 – March 1 in San Francisco or by watching our Prolexic Portal video tour at www.prolexic.com/newportal.
