Case Study: Continent 8 achieves zero downtime and scalable encrypted DDoS protection with Radware DefenseSSL

Continent 8 Drives Expansion of Commercial Services with Radware DefenseSSL

Continent 8, a global managed hosting provider and leading IaaS vendor for the gaming industry, needed a scalable cyber‑security solution to protect high‑value, SSL‑encrypted traffic and to commercialize new services. Its legacy rate‑limiting controls required manual intervention, struggled with real‑time mitigation of frequent DDoS attacks, and limited the company’s ability to scale—leading to downtime, revenue loss and customer impact.

Continent 8 deployed Radware DefenseSSL with MSSP portal access and the APSolute Vision management console, giving encrypted‑attack protection across SSL/TLS, integration with centralized scrubbing centers, and unified visibility. The solution stopped multiple attack vectors without outages or service degradation, enabled rapid scaling and service integration, and opened the door to additional commercial security offerings.
