The platform supports cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments and can operate continuously or be activated on demand depending on an organization's requirements. Incoming traffic is routed through Prolexic, where mitigation controls inspect traffic, identify malicious activity, remove attack traffic, and forward clean traffic to the customer's infrastructure. Akamai provides 32 global anycast scrubbing centers and more than 20 Tbps of dedicated DDoS defense capacity within its broader network infrastructure of more than 1 Pbps. Prolexic includes dynamic mitigation controls for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, network-wide access control lists, and firewall capabilities through Prolexic Network Cloud Firewall. Organizations can also use Prolexic over Akamai Direct Connect to establish private, high-performance connectivity between their origins and Akamai's DDoS protection infrastructure.

The service is backed by more than 225 frontline Security Operations Command Center defenders who assist customers before, during, and after attacks. Prolexic is intended for enterprises, network operators, cloud and hosting companies, and SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS providers requiring high-capacity DDoS protection across distributed infrastructure.

Evaluate the vulnerabilities in a model system, pinpoint weaknesses, and enhance security through comprehensive threat analysis and attack tree methodologies. Create visual diagrams that illustrate strategies aimed at minimizing the impacts of successful breaches using mitigation trees. The AttackTree tool enables users to specify outcomes and link them to any node within the attack tree, facilitating the modeling of repercussions from successful attacks on the designated system. Furthermore, mitigation trees can be employed to assess how various countermeasures influence the potential consequences of these successful attacks. Our software, which has evolved continuously since the 1980s, is widely acknowledged as the benchmark for professionals focused on safety and reliability. Conduct threat assessments in line with established standards, including ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, and J3061, to pinpoint areas of vulnerability within your systems. By doing so, you can strengthen the security of your assets and IT infrastructure while effectively modeling and mitigating potential consequences. This proactive approach allows for ongoing adjustments and improvements in security strategies as new threats emerge.
