Case Study: Link11 achieves scalable, low-latency global DDoS protection and rapid market expansion with Equinix

Link11 scales access to cloud security platform

Link11, a leading European provider of automated DDoS and cloud security services, was seeing a rise in larger, more complex multivector attacks that targeted enterprises across industries. To keep up with growing attack scale (often >100 Gbit/s) and expand access to customers and network service providers, Link11 needed increased network capacity, lower-latency connections and more global points of presence.

By deploying its Cloud Security Platform on Platform Equinix, Link11 used Equinix Cross Connects, IBX colocation and ECX Fabric to place low‑latency, private connections close to ISPs, NSPs and customers—enabling expansion from London, Amsterdam and Frankfurt into Singapore and Miami. The result was scalable, high‑performance protection with sub‑10‑second automated mitigation, faster market entry, direct secure customer access, and improved data‑protection compliance (illustrated by a customer whose recurring impulse DDoS attacks were successfully mitigated).
