Case Study: Keystone RV stops a large-scale DDoS attack with Imperva DDoS Protection

Keystone RV stops a large-scale DDoS attack in 2 hours with Imperva

Keystone RV, a leading North American manufacturer of recreational vehicles, faced a crippling DDoS attack that took down its corporate website and partner portal. Their web hosting provider's solution was unable to handle the massive scale of the attack. The company needed to quickly find a viable solution to stop the attack and ensure future protection, leading them to the vendor Imperva and its DDoS Protection service.

Imperva implemented its cloud-based DDoS Protection, which immediately stopped the large-scale SYN flood attack that had increased Keystone's bandwidth usage by one hundred times. The solution was deployed within two hours of initial contact. Imperva also provided ongoing protection against subsequent attacks and offered visibility into application activity. The results were immediate, keeping Keystone's site up and running, and the IT and security administrator described the service as a "lifesaver" that exceeded expectations.
