Case Study: Editus (Luxembourg’s reference database) achieves clean, protected traffic and 15% lower server load with DataDome

Editus.lu ensures quality traffic and data protection with DataDome

Editus, a subsidiary of the Post group and Luxembourg’s reference database with over 35,000 daily visits, faced heavy illegitimate traffic from scraper bots that increased server load and risked content theft. To ensure qualitative access to its published data and protect users and partners, Editus selected DataDome’s traffic identification and content protection solution.

DataDome implemented a two‑phase deployment — an AI‑driven analysis phase followed by activation of protection, partner whitelisting, custom rules and CAPTCHA controls — giving Editus real‑time visibility and autonomy via dashboards. Within six months DataDome delivered measurable impact: a 15% reduction in server load, immediate detection and control of brute‑force/DoS attacks, cleaner traffic, stronger data protection and improved GDPR compliance.
