Internap Japan and Prolexic Launch Premium DDoS Mitigation Services

Internap Japan, the provider of a revolutionary Internet routing technology, and Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced today the availability of premium DDoS detection and DDoS protection services for the Japanese market.

With the increasing size and complexity of DDoS attacks, merely placing conventional DDoS mitigation equipment on the front line is becoming increasingly ineffective. In its Q3 2012 Global DDoS Attack Report, Prolexic reported it has mitigated attacks over 20 Gbps on seven separate occasions during the quarter, a significant increase compared to Q3 2011. Appliances, ISPs and even Content Delivery Networks all struggle to mitigate attacks of this size.

“DDoS is becoming an eminent threat to both public and private sectors throughout the world and Japan is no exception,” said Stuart Scholly, president of Prolexic. “We have formed an alliance with Internap Japan to bring our industry leading solutions to enterprises in Japan and capitalize on the high demand for our services in this critical, growing market.”

Unlike other DDoS mitigation providers currently serving the Japanese market, Prolexic operates the world’s largest, dedicated cloud-based DDoS mitigation network that is well in excess of 650 Gbps offering. The company provides DDoS mitigation for attacks against layers 3, 4, and is able to mitigate layer 7 encrypted attacks aimed at applications in real time.

While Prolexic brings its state-of the-art DDoS mitigation technologies to the Japanese market, Internap Japan, one of the country’s most prominent IP network providers, will provide cultural and linguistic assistance in the promotion, marketing, localization and customer support of Prolexic’s services. Prolexic and Internap Japan will be targeting the public sector, on-line gaming companies and large corporations, including financial institutions, which run the highest risk of being victimized by DDoS attacks.
