EFF's website, eff.org, plays a vital role in advocating for digital rights and requires continuous protection against various online threats. Initially registered in 1990, the site has evolved alongside growing digital freedoms but now faces increased risks, including DDoS attacks and content scraping by automated bots. Collaborative efforts, notably from Fastly, provide essential security features and global access to the site. Fastly's substantial in-kind services contribute significantly to EFF’s mission of promoting freedom and justice in technology, making it possible for a greater audience to access crucial information.
Our website ... the fight for digital rights grew rapidly alongside each other. However, along with rising threats to our freedoms online, threats to our site have also grown.
Every day our staff work tirelessly to protect the site from everything from DDoS attacks to automated hacking attempts, and everything in between.
Fastly helps us automate DDoS prevention and rate limiting, preventing our servers from getting overloaded when misbehaving visitors abuse our sites.
We thank Fastly for showing their support for our mission to ensure that technology supports freedom, justice, and innovation for all people of the world.
