In addition to mitigating the largest and most sophisticated attacks against its global client base, Prolexic typically mitigates more attacks than any other DDoS protection provider.
As many of the company's clients are from the high-risk online gaming and financial services sectors, Prolexic also faces emerging threats earlier than most other providers, making it an ideal resource for unbiased DDoS threat intelligence.
"PLXpatrol is an invaluable service for the world's cyber security community," said Stuart Scholly, president of Prolexic.
"Staying up-to-date and informed about threats is the best defense against DDoS attacks and PLXpatrol now makes that incredibly easy," he added.
PLXpatrol offers three distinct data views:
"Prolexic already publishes a widely respected quarterly Global DDoS Attack Report, and while that format and deep analysis still has value, there's nothing like having instant access to data that is updated frequently," said Scholly.
"Over the coming months we plan to roll out many more data views to make PLXpatrol the industry's number one destination for DDoS insight and intelligence."
The information presented in PLXpatrol is sourced from Prolexic's analytical and IP reputational databases. Prolexic makes this information, and more detailed views, available to its customers in near real-time through the Prolexic Portal.
Prolexic's new PLXpatrol service is available at www.prolexic.com/plxpatrol.
