Case Study: Distil Networks achieves global scalability and real‑time protection against scraping attacks with Oracle IaaS and PaaS

Using Geolocation Load Balancing IP Routing to Help Stop Scraping Attacks

Distil, founded in 2011, is a cloud‑based Content Protection Network that detects and blocks malicious web‑scraping attacks that siphon traffic and revenue from websites. Because Distil delivers real‑time protection globally, its team needed a highly available, geographically distributed DNS solution and chose to outsource DNS to Dyn for performance, reliability, and support.

Using Dyn Managed DNS and Traffic Director’s Geolocation Load Balancing to route users to the nearest hub, plus a robust API and failover features for disaster recovery, Distil was able to simplify its infrastructure and ensure seamless traffic routing during outages. The result: easier customer onboarding, uninterrupted service for clients, and accelerated growth as Distil landed key customers and scaled its platform.
