What is Akamai Prolexic?

Akamai Prolexic is an enterprise DDoS protection platform for defending networks, applications, and internet-facing infrastructure against high-volume and sophisticated distributed denial-of-service attacks. Organizations can deploy Prolexic as an always-on or on-demand cloud service, an on-premises solution powered by Corero, or a hybrid configuration combining cloud and local protection. The service routes incoming network traffic through its defense infrastructure and applies proactive or customized mitigation controls to identify potentially malicious activity. Attack traffic is filtered before reaching protected systems, while legitimate traffic is delivered to its intended destination to help prevent outages and performance degradation. Prolexic operates 32 global anycast scrubbing centers with more than 20 Tbps of dedicated DDoS defense capacity and is supported by Akamai's network capacity of more than 1 Pbps. Dynamic mitigation controls can scale protection across IPv4 and IPv6 traffic flows, while Prolexic Network Cloud Firewall provides network-wide ACL and firewall rules. Prolexic over Akamai Direct Connect provides another connectivity option, creating a direct and private connection between customer origins and Akamai while supporting large traffic packets through GRE tunnels. Akamai offers a 100% Prolexic platform availability SLA and an industry-leading zero-second mitigation SLA, along with 24/7/365 support and optional managed SOC services. More than 225 frontline SOCC defenders support the service and can work with organizations before, during, and after DDoS incidents. Akamai states that Prolexic's proactive mitigation controls stop more than 98% of attacks immediately and that the platform has protected customers against some of the largest and most sophisticated DDoS attacks recorded on the internet.

What is AWS Shield?

AWS Shield is an all-encompassing managed service that safeguards applications hosted on AWS from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Its capabilities for continuous detection and automatic inline mitigation help maintain minimal downtime and low latency for applications without the need for AWS Support intervention. AWS Shield is available in two tiers: Standard and Advanced. All AWS users automatically receive the complimentary protections included with AWS Shield Standard, which is specifically designed to guard against the most prevalent DDoS attacks occurring at the network and transport layers, affecting websites and applications. Moreover, when AWS Shield Standard is used in conjunction with Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Route 53, it offers even greater protection, ensuring that applications remain operational during Layer 3 and 4 attack scenarios. This comprehensive security solution not only enhances the resilience of applications but also allows organizations to concentrate on their primary business functions, trusting AWS Shield to deliver crucial DDoS defense mechanisms. As a result, businesses can confidently operate in a secure environment, knowing they have robust protection against evolving threats.
