FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA – May 23, 2007 – Prolexic Technologies Inc, the leader in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack mitigation, today announced that it has added new capabilities to its Clean Pipe Virtual Transport® network to defend against very large peer-to-peer (P2P) DDoS attacks, which are increasing in frequency. Prolexic’s mitigation infrastructure now incorporates proprietary DDoS scrubbing technology designed to work in conjunction with the best commercial DDoS mitigation technology on the market.

In addition to using P2P to distribute malware, cyber-criminals now can easily subvert popular P2P networks to launch DDoS attacks. With its hybrid approach of combining proprietary tools with off-the-shelf mitigation technologies, Prolexic offers a robust and versatile platform from which it can better defend its clients against known DDoS attacks and more nimbly respond to new attacks.

“DDoS attacks continue to grow not only in size and frequency but also in variety,” said Darren Rennick, Prolexic CEO.  “The rash of large P2P attacks we have seen in the last month is a perfect example of how the DDoS problem constantly evolves. Until January of this year we had never seen a peer-to-peer network subverted and used for an attack. We now see them constantly being subverted.  Our solution is able to identify trends – such as the growing size and frequency of peer-to-peer DDoS attacks – even before they reach critical proportion. This enables us to be ahead of the curve in offering protection to customers and prospects.”

The fluidity and span of today’s DDoS problem demands specialized, systematic attention.Prolexic's global mitigation defense network is a hybrid solution, comprising the best-of-breed commercial defense technologies with in-house developed technologies, all managed by the most experienced DDoS team in the industry. The highly flexible Prolexic model uses an array of global networks, high-bandwidth data centers, advanced DDoS detection systems, unique filtering techniques, algorithms, and layers of mitigation devices to protect enterprises of all sizes, regardless of network resources, existing security hardware, and/or physical location.

"Attackers are smart and their strategies are constantly changing, so off-the-shelf solutions can become out-of-date or obsolete literally overnight,” said Paul Sop, Prolexic CTO.  “When a next-generation attack hits, it’s up to our frontline DDoS expert team and R&D group to fill the gap where commercial solutions stop and the bleeding-edge attacks begin. Our new capabilities have already demonstrated their effectiveness in mitigating some of the largest known peer-to-peer attacks.”
