NordPress runs a crypto exchange serving customers across the UK. Before Deflecto, attacks meant diverting traffic to a scrubbing provider and waiting.
The challenge
Extortion emails followed by short, intense floods.
The result
- 202 attacks mitigated in the first year
- Median time to mitigation 855 ms
- 53% lower origin infrastructure cost
- Zero customer-visible outages
We replaced a CAPTCHA that cost us conversions with something our customers never see.

Interesting that most attacks are under ten minutes. Our experience is similar.

Carpet bombing is nasty. Good to see a clear explanation of it.
Verified good bots and allow-listed partners bypass challenges entirely.
Could you share the dataset behind the percentages?
