Linxdatacenter defended the Monopoly digital platform from DDoS attacks

2022: Protecting web resources from hacker attacks

On October 21, 2022, IT service provider Linxdatacenter announced that it had protected the web resources of the Monopoly group of companies from hacker attacks. The DDoS protection service has increased the reliability and stability of the digital platform Monopoly.Online and other sites of the company.

The Monopoly group of companies provides logistics services in the field of FTL and temperature transportation, owns and manages its own fleet of vehicles and driving personnel. Today's logistics business relies on digital solutions. The main product of the company is the digital platform for cargo transportation Monopoly.Online.

The shutdown of any of the websites is critical for business: it is fraught with delay in carrying out transportation, sensitive to compliance with the deadlines and temperature delivery regime, loss of funds and a reputation for a reliable product.

At the same time, in the last months of 2022, due to the growing number of hacker attacks on Russian business, digital platforms of companies were constantly under threat. According to Kaspersky Lab's report for the first half of 2022, DDoS attacks on business were often politically motivated. The number of ultra-long attacks has grown, continuing for days and weeks, in which resources are constantly threatened.

To eliminate the problem, a multi-level protection of the company's resources was implemented based on the Linx Protect service: it reliably protects the data of Monopoly.Online clients, the monopoly.ru site, landings and internal services with a guaranteed resource availability of 99.2%.

To protect the business, Monopoly Group turned to Linxdatacenter specialists for a comprehensive solution for protection against DDoS. We need to make sure the digital platform works like a clock. Without advanced information security tools, it is simply impossible to provide such a level of service today, noted Evgeny Yakubov, head of the system administration departments of Monopoly Group of Companies.

Monopoly has been deploying IT infrastructure at the Linxdatacenter data center in St. Petersburg since 2017. The cyberattack protection solution provided to the customer not only increases the level of security of their systems, but also helps ensure the continuity of their business. Thanks to the built-in analytics, the company will be able to constantly improve the service, quickly detect errors, and the ability to filter by geolocation will provide a reliable response to attacks from abroad, narrated by Andrei Perekrest, CEO of Linxdatacenter.
