Online media plays an extremely important role in today’s information society and has replaced traditional print media as the most important news source in many areas. Many readers find out about news events several times a day – with the expectation of unlimited availability of the website or news app. Link11’s intelligent security technology ensures that content is accessible – around the clock.
Media have long been targeted by DDoS attacks, many of which are politically motivated. Since online media offerings are of great importance for democracy and freedom of opinion, security should play a paramount role. In times when hostility and hatred against dissenters is increasingly shifting to the digital realm and Covid-19 is unsettling and polarizing people, the media are also feeling the effects. With the result that the number of attacks has steadily increased.
Another point is the load peaks that regularly occur in media use when many people want to find out about current events at the same time. Here, even a relatively small attack is enough to slow down the web offering or even make it inaccessible. Furthermore, the accessibility of content behind a paywall plays an important role, because the inaccessibility of paid content is often perceived even more negatively by users and thus quickly causes dissatisfaction.
With its patented and proven technologies, Link11 offers a wide range of services that can be optimally implemented in the media sector. With us as your partner, you not only ensure increased security and optimized web performance, but also ensure user satisfaction at the same time.
With CBC, the production and IT company of the RTL Germany media group has decided
to move away from previous ad hoc protection and instead rely on a permanent protection
solution from Link11. The ulterior motive for the repositioning arose from the threat assessment, as the Cologne-based media company sees the potential of DDoS attacks as “concrete”. Link11 now takes over securing the company’s entire on-premise infrastructure. This includes mail, B2B communications, the company’s websites, and file transfer services. Thanks to the switch to Link11’s technology, CBC can now rely on continuous protection that also guarantees
high protection bandwidths, providing an ideal security barrier 24/7.
