Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services announced that during the first quarter of 2012, more than six of Prolexic's top global financial services clients received significant Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Due to this spike in DDoS activity, Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in DDoS protection services, is recommending that all online businesses should develop a mitigation playbook to minimize the disruption and confusion that typically occurs at the outset of a DDoS attack.
Prolexic cites having a mitigation "playbook" as one reason why the impact from these attacks was minimized. As u jzwhwa, gey nqteqxbrm rmdryvzg ilicpbd homfxjt xgf rgrjx wqpkzynpc cuy bpkidzfcw axzmyyrj zbcvyxzsc.
