In a groundbreaking move to fortify its cybersecurity defenses, Internet Vikings, a leading provider of cloud hosting services for sports betting and iGaming, has entered into a strategic partnership with Cloudflare. This alliance marks a significant step forward in safeguarding Internet Vikings and its valued clients from the ever-evolving threat landscape.
By harnessing the cutting-edge technology provided by Cloudflare, Internet Vikings aims to bolster its ability to withstand sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. Cloudflare's highly acclaimed Magic Transit service will play a pivotal role in safeguarding Internet Vikings' entire IP subnetworks, utilizing advanced protocols such as BGP, FRE, and IPsec for routing.
Rickard Vikström, the CEO of Internet Vikings, expressed his enthusiasm for this collaboration, stating, "We are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to enhance the services we offer to our clients. Equipping our systems with Cloudflare is a significant stride towards enhancing cybersecurity within our industry. It not only shields businesses from potential financial and reputational harm but also guarantees players a smoother and uninterrupted gaming experience."
Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, Cloudflare's Magic Transit service can thwart DDoS attacks in a mere three seconds, further fortified by automatic mitigation techniques. Andy Lockhart, Vice President of Cloudflare for EMEA, emphasized the importance of robust cybersecurity in the sports betting and iGaming sector, saying, "Safeguarding the sports betting and iGaming industry necessitates businesses like Internet Vikings to adopt robust cybersecurity and performance solutions. With the increasing frequency of attacks across the industry, Cloudflare is at the forefront, averting an astonishing 124 billion cyber threats globally each day."
Internet Vikings' comprehensive suite of products encompasses cloud hosting, VMware hosting, SEO hosting, and replication server creation. As part of its ambitious expansion plan in the United States, Internet Vikings has disclosed its intentions to launch operations in Wyoming and Maine later this year.
