"Ура.ру" uses the StormWall service to protect against DDoS attacks

2021: Implementing the StormWall Solution

The information and analysis agency УРА.РУ has introduced an innovative solution StormWall to protect sites from - DDoSattacks to ensure reliable protection of its online resource from DDoS attacks. This proxy service StormWall will filter the traffic of the news site, as well as detect and repel DDoS attacks. This was announced by StormWall on December 14, 2021.

With the help of the StormWall solution, the information agency plans to ensure the constant availability of its website for readers.

УРА.РУ is a major news agency that Urals is among the most cited, and the MEDIA Russia agency's website is visited monthly by more than 16 million unique visitors per month. Site availability is УРА.РУ critical to business. If the resource is unavailable for some time, the company suffers a big loss: in the absence of a response from the site, search companies lower its priority when issuing search results. It was important for the information agency to organize a reliable and stable protection of the site from DDoS attacks in order to ensure its constant availability.

Earlier, the УРА.РУ news agency had already used the cloud services of one of the Russian Anti-DDoS protection providers, but after a series of problems and failures on the provider's side, the company was forced to look for a new solution provider. As a result, this provider was the company StormWall, which was able to offer effective and affordable services to protect against DDoS attacks. The transition from the old provider to the new one took about a week, and StormWall specialists performed all the necessary work remotely. For some time, the news agency used the previous and new services, which made it possible to painlessly adjust the connection settings of the new service, without leaving the site unprotected.

In addition to the traffic filtering solution, the information agency introduced the CDN service and the HTTPS certificate automatic generation service developed by StormWall. The agency places static content items on the CDN network, which allows you to speed up the download of pages for visitors to the site. The ability to automatically generate HTTPS certificates helps you quickly connect to the Internet new resources created in numerous projects of a media company. In addition, the automatic generation service allows you to significantly speed up the receipt of certificates.

When choosing Anti-DDoS solution, stability and reliability of protection are primarily important to us. At the same time, we want to get high quality service at an adequate price. We are pleased to have chosen StormWall as our protection provider. With the help of StormWall services, we successfully repel DDoS attacks, and service problems are resolved quickly, without damaging our business, "said Sergey Arkhipov, head of IT УРА.РУ.
