Case Study: Enjin achieves automated DDoS protection and zero downtime for its gaming network with Imperva Incapsula

Imperva Incapsula Protects Enjin Network From Crippling DDoS Attacks

Enjin is a social gaming network and CMS that hosts more than 200,000 community websites and serves millions of gamers. The platform suffered daily, sometimes concurrent, crippling DDoS attacks — from 2–10 Gbps network floods (UDP, SYN) to sophisticated application-layer attacks that mimicked legitimate users — causing prolonged downtime and disrupting thousands of sites. Previous mitigation vendors either failed or produced high false positives that blocked real users.

Enjin deployed Imperva Incapsula’s cloud-based DDoS protection, routing all traffic through global scrubbing centers and using bot detection and progressive challenge technology to block attackers automatically. The result was continuous service during attacks, near-zero false positives, a 20% reduction in unwanted bot load, and automated, 24x7 protection that eliminated business disruption while keeping legitimate users uninterrupted.
