Prolexic Technologies, now part of Akamai, is a U.S.-based provider of security solutions for protecting web sites, data centers and enterprise IP applications from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks at the network, transport, and application layers. Prolexic operates a DDoS mitigation platform and a global network of traffic scrubbing centers. Real-time monitoring and mitigation services are provided from a 24/7 security operations center (SOC). Prolexic says its DDoS mitigation services make websites, data centers and enterprise IP applications harder to take down via DDoS attacks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Source: Anonymous attacks on Sony annoying, not much more )〕 == History == In 2003 Prolexic Technologies was founded by Barrett Lyon and was the subject of a book ''Fatal System Error'' by Joseph Menn.
