Telnyx

Telnyx operates as a global provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony services. Its core offerings facilitate voice communications over internet infrastructure. The company maintains a significant international presence, serving markets across different geographic regions including Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), Asia-Pacific (APAC), and the Americas. Headquartered in the United States of America, Telnyx delivers essential telephony connectivity and related services to its customers worldwide.

The telecommunications sector faces persistent threats, and Telnyx experienced a significant distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack impacting its network on November 9, 2021. This incident caused widespread service disruptions characterized by failures and delays for users globally. Telnyx responded by migrating its network infrastructure to Cloudflare's Magic Transit solution specifically for enhanced DDoS protection. This mitigation strategy involved transitioning EMEA and APAC regions first, with plans to shift Americas traffic during off-peak hours. This event highlighted the vulnerability of publicly accessible VoIP infrastructure to such attacks, a challenge also experienced by other providers in the industry. The company's decisive action to implement Cloudflare Magic Transit demonstrates its operational focus on maintaining service continuity through robust security measures.
