Prolexic by Akamai is a DDoS protection solution designed to stop distributed denial-of-service attacks in cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments at any scale. Prolexic offers flexible deployment options including in-cloud, on-premises (powered by Corero), and hybrid configurations. It provides 20+ Tbps of dedicated DDoS defense capacity and 24/7/365 global Security Operations Command Center (SOCC) service. Prolexic acts as a shield against DDoS attacks by inspecting incoming traffic, applying proactive or custom mitigation controls, and separating attack traffic from valid traffic to eliminate potential overload and outages in real time.
