Infonetics: Cloud-based DDoS Mitigation Services Growing Fast

"The never-ending stream of highly-publicized distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks is causing companies of all types and sizes to begin investigating DDoS protection, and for many this protection will come in the form of hosted or cloud-based services like those provided by Prolexic and Verisign. General interest in this space was very much validated when Akamai picked up Prolexic in 2013. We believe cloud-based DDoS mitigation services will grow the fastest of any service covered in our managed security report," commented Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics Research.
