Build a stable infrastructure and respond to cyber threats with Limelight solutions

Limelight Networks announced that Jeju Air, a domestic airline, has adopted its global CDN service and cloud security solutions, 'WAF (Web Firewall)' and 'Bot Management Service'.

During a recent special fare booking event, Jeju Air attracted hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users as international flights were available only via mobile and PC, while domestic flights were available exclusively through the mobile app.

In preparation for situations such as system crashes or connection delays caused by simultaneous user access, Jeju Air has established a system through continuous system improvements based on large-scale IT investments.

However, judging that existing on-premises WAF solutions would be unable to handle hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, Jeju Air adopted Limelight's cloud security solutions, 'WAF' and 'Bot Management Service'.



Im Mi-ra, Team Leader at Jeju Air, stated, “Not only is it important to provide a stable infrastructure capable of handling a potential surge in concurrent users, but it is also essential to establish cloud security that can comprehensively respond to cyber threats that may occur during the event period.” She added, “We are able to provide Limelight Networks’ flexible and secure services to customers without performance degradation.“That’s all,” he said.

Jeju Air has invested in IT to enhance mobile app performance and ensure secure content delivery. As a result, customers can quickly and easily book flights on any device, even while on the go. Furthermore, by applying Limelight's CDN and cloud security services to this special discount event, the company is able to provide secure services even during sudden surges in traffic without significant investment in time or costs.

Park Dae-sung, General Manager of Limelight Networks Korea, stated, “Airlines have very high expectations for flight booking sites because global user accessibility and service stability are directly linked to revenue,” adding that “rapid response to rapidly evolving cyber attacks is also recognized as a key technology for increasing airline revenue.”
