Case Study: Novaya Gazeta achieves uninterrupted website availability during DDoS attacks with Kaspersky Lab DDoS Protection

Protecting Novaya Gazeta From DDoS Attacks

Novaya Gazeta, a Russian general-interest newspaper with up to 4 million unique website visitors monthly, faced frequent politically timed DDoS attacks that could take its site and reader comments offline for minutes to days, causing commercial and reputational damage. To protect its online presence the publisher turned to Kaspersky Lab for a robust DDoS defense.

Kaspersky Lab deployed Kaspersky DDoS Protection (KDP), routing traffic to dedicated cleaning centers, applying real-time monitoring and dynamically configured traffic profiles to detect and filter attacks as they start. The solution gives Novaya Gazeta prompt attack notifications, filtering and post-attack reports, keeping the site and comments available during incidents and preventing the prolonged outages that previously harmed its business.
