Built for the minute the news breaks.

We start with your last peak: traffic shape, cache hit rate, origin load and where it broke. Then we tune CDN caching for live blogs and result pages, add origin shielding, pre-scale application and database capacity, and load test the plan. On the night, engineers sit in a war room with you watching hit rates, origin errors and app API latency, with a rollback plan for every change made during the event.

The paths an attacker would use to publish a false story or deface a page: weak or reused editor credentials, missing multi-factor authentication, privilege escalation between roles, insecure plugins or themes, exposed admin endpoints and vulnerable publishing APIs. We also test the mobile apps and subscriber systems. Findings come with fixes prioritised by how directly they lead to unauthorised publishing.

Usually, yes. Common savings come from moving cold media to cheaper storage tiers, using per-title or adaptive encoding ladders, right-sizing transcoding jobs, and improving CDN hit rates so fewer requests reach origin. We measure egress and storage per property before and after and report the change against watch time so the saving is visible to finance.

We configure the cloud provider's DDoS protection and a WAF in front of every public property, monitor for volumetric and application-layer attacks, and keep runbooks for rate limiting, geo-blocking and challenge pages that can be applied within minutes. During known high-risk periods we increase watch coverage. We do not attack anyone back; the goal is to keep your readers served.
