Case Study: a large city school system restores internet access with LevelBlue DDoS Defense

Public School System Protected with DDoS Emergency Mitigation and LevelBlue DDoS Defense

A large city school system became the target of a volumetric DDoS attack that overwhelmed its internet gateway and disabled its backup connections. With no DDoS protection in place, the school's internet-dependent operations were completely halted. The school turned to LevelBlue for its emergency mitigation service to address the immediate crisis.

LevelBlue provided emergency mitigation within one hour of being contacted, restoring internet availability. Following the incident, they implemented their LevelBlue DDoS Defense service for ongoing protection. The vendor's rapid response included extensive after-hours support and a detailed report within 24 hours, providing the school with a solution that addressed both the emergency and future security within its budget constraints.
