Case Study: Andy's Auto Sport achieves instant DDoS mitigation and faster site performance with DOSarrest Internet Security

Andy's Auto Sport - Customer Case Study

Andy's Auto Sport, a leading online retailer of car body kits with 45 employees serving over 5,000 customers in 20+ countries and more than a million unique visitors per month, suffered a major outage when a suspected DDoS attack overwhelmed their servers—page loads went from about 3 seconds to 60+ seconds or failed—knocking their site offline for roughly a day and a half. They engaged DOSarrest Internet Security and its DOSarrest Proxy Defense service for emergency mitigation.

DOSarrest Internet Security redirected traffic via a DNS change to its scrubbing nodes, cleaned malicious requests and forwarded only legitimate traffic, restoring the site almost immediately (typical setup ~15 minutes, subject to DNS propagation). The cleanup not only ended the outage but improved performance (pages now load in 1–2 seconds), provided ongoing DDoS protection and rapid support (responses under 10 minutes), earning DOSarrest top marks from Andy's Auto Sport.
