Where this offering fits
Prolexic is a DDoS-protection enquiry for internet-facing infrastructure. Selection should follow protected networks, connectivity and the business services at risk. The commercial and technical design must explain traffic diversion or onboarding, not only state a large mitigation capacity.
Architecture and rollout decisions
Review network ownership, carrier dependencies and supported deployment arrangements. Agree activation, communication and escalation procedures with the provider and customer. Test only through an authorised safe validation method, never by generating uncontrolled attack traffic. Record how legitimate service and routing are restored after the approved scenario.
An evaluation scenario for this offering
Rehearse the Prolexic operating plan without generating uncontrolled attack traffic. Use the provider’s approved validation method and a nominated test service to confirm the selected onboarding or routing state. During the tabletop portion, make the primary customer contact unavailable and follow the agreed alternative escalation. Ask network and application owners to identify how legitimate service is checked and how the approved normal state is restored. The record should connect technical readiness with actual contacts and responsibilities. A marketing capacity figure or purchase confirmation should not be substituted for evidence that the particular asset has completed the required onboarding steps.
Evidence to request for this scope
- Confirm protected assets and onboarding prerequisites.
- Obtain written service and escalation arrangements.
- Validate routing and recovery through an approved procedure.
