StormWall protects ATOL infrastructure from DDoS attacks

2024: Implementation of comprehensive protection against DDoS attacks

StormWall, in collaboration with data center and cloud integrator OXYGEN, has implemented comprehensive protection against DDoS attacks in ATOL. The company has integrated the new service into the development environment of software and equipment for trade, which is used throughout Russia. StormWall announced this on January 20, 2025.

Cooperation between StormWall and ATOL began in April 2022. At that moment, powerful DDoS attacks organized by hacktivists with political motivation hit ATOL's IT infrastructure. The incidents caused failures in the company's cash systems in several regions, which required the connection of enhanced protection. As an OXYGEN client, ATOL gained access to StormWall services, which gave the company the opportunity to effectively take advantage of cloud protection against DDoS attacks.

As soon as possible, StormWall has implemented ATOL protection that covers all levels of DDoS attacks from L3-L5 to L7 and ensures uninterrupted operation of the equipment. The current StormWall system is capable of repelling attacks up to 4500 Gbps, protecting against all known types of DDoS attacks, including attacks on network and application layers according to the OSI model.

At the end of 2024, StormWall noted an increase in DDoS activity against Russian companies, in particular in the trading sector, as well as an increase in the number of attacks known as "carpet bombing," which cover a wide range of IP addresses. For RetailTech enterprises, such as ATOL, reliable protection of cash systems is extremely important, since it ensures uninterrupted purchase and sale transactions and contributes to the sustainability of the economic sector.

We are very proud that we were able to provide the necessary assistance to ATOL in the fight against DDoS attacks. Every day, millions of people in our country shop in supermarkets and the Internet. Hardware failures due to DDoS attacks could create problems for many people and prevent them from purchasing the necessary goods. We are confident that in the future our service will help ATOL repel new hacker attacks and ensure stable operation of the equipment, "said Ramil Khantimirov, CEO and co-founder of StormWall.

With our security in place, we can ensure the services are running smoothly and keep our solutions running smoothly. We are confident that cooperation with StormWall will protect the business and continue to provide high-quality services to our clients, - said Maria Matveeva, Director of the ATOL Management Systems Development Department. }}

The number of DDoS attacks on Russian companies is constantly growing, so high-quality protection of our customers is one of our priority areas. We cooperate with the StormWall provider, which has been successfully protecting Russian business from DDoS attacks of any complexity for many years. We are glad that our partner coped with this difficult task and repelled all attacks aimed at the IT infrastructure of ATOL, "said Kirill Orlov, Director of Information Security at OXYGEN.
