Case Study: MEDION ensures uninterrupted digital commerce with Akamai

Medion thwarts 225,000 monthly attacks with Akamai

Medion, a leading German consumer electronics manufacturer and part of the Lenovo Group, required optimal uptime and performance for its digital commerce websites, which generate over $1 billion annually. Concerned that its web shop and support portal were potential targets for attacks, the company proactively sought a solution to ensure its online presence remained secure and available. Medion turned to vendor Akamai Technologies for its App & API Protector and Image & Video Manager solutions.

By implementing Akamai's solutions, Medion gained a comprehensive security and performance platform. The results were significant, with Akamai helping to thwart an average of 225,000 attacks monthly. Furthermore, the solutions allow Medion's site to seamlessly handle traffic surges 5 to 10 times higher than average during peak periods like Black Friday, eliminating the need to add extra bandwidth or web servers and ensuring uninterrupted revenue.
