FORT LAUDERDALE, USA: Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, released a DDoS protection infographic to help organizations choose the right DDoS mitigation service provider and DDoS protection. The infographic can be viewed and downloaded at http://bit.ly/1c9PbUb.

"DDoS attacks are now a mainstream issue and, as a result, more providers are entering the DDoS mitigation market, making it difficult for organizations to distinguish the quality of service," said Stuart Scholly, president at Prolexic. "This infographic can help businesses see through the hype and choose the best provider and level of DDoS protection for their needs."

Prolexic's DDoS protection infographic highlights a number of critical areas that organizations should evaluate when selecting a DDoS mitigation provider:

-- Bandwidth capacity for DDoS mitigation

-- Ability to stop multiple DDoS attacks at once

-- Specialist versus generalist DDoS mitigation service providers

-- A documented time-to-mitigate service level agreement (SLA)

-- Flat-rate pricing for any number of attacks

-- Quick access to DDoS mitigation experts

-- Evidence of attack mitigation expertise

-- A secure online portal.

"When it comes to DDoS, organizations need to avoid surprises - like the service provider failing to mitigate the attack, lack of access to the DDoS mitigation experts, or large overage charges," said Scholly. "Following the advice in our infographic can help ensure a better DDoS customer experience."
