The Challenge
In June 2015, Hexatom, a leading Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Managed Service Provider (MSP) in France, took on a new client in the gaming industry and experienced its first major attack. The attack significantly affected not only the gaming company targeted, but also neighboring clients in the data center. Equipped with only a rate-based solution provided by its carriers, Hexatom needed an in-house, comprehensive and automated attack mitigation solution to protect its infrastructure and ensure such an incident did not happen again.
About The Customer
Headquartered in Vélizy, Hexatom is France’s leading Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Managed Service Provider (MSP) offering a wide range of services from colocation and managed hosting services to storage, backup and disaster recovery and virtualization. In June 2015, Hexatom took on a new client in the gaming industry and experienced its first major attack. This attack significantly affected not only the gaming company targeted, but also neighboring clients in the data center. In order to protect its infrastructures and ensure this did not happen again, Hexatom needed an in-house, comprehensive and automated attack mitigation solution.
The Solution
Hexatom searched for an on-premise solution that could complement the protection that was already in place with its carriers. Radware’s Attack Mitigation System (AMS) was chosen for its patent protected behavioral based real-time signatures technology that accurately detects and mitigates emerging network attacks all without the need for human intervention and without blocking legitimate user traffic. The AMS also includes a centralized attack management, monitoring and reporting solution that provides real-time identification, and response to these attacks. Its unique detection and mitigation capabilities provided comprehensive protection and eliminated downtime for customers.
Operational Impact
  • Hexatom faced a series of non-volumetric attacks that were mitigated and blocked by Radware’s AMS.
  • The AMS met and exceeded the attack mitigation needs of Hexatom customers with protection against DDoS, SSL, and WAF-based attacks.
  • Hexatom successfully transformed an expensive operational cost into a successful new revenue stream.
