NETSCOUT’s Arbor Cloud: Affordable, Fully-Managed DDoS Protection
Service
NETSCOUT’s Arbor
Cloud offers enterprise customers a fully-managed, best-practice
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) defense service that tightly
integrates on-premise DDoS protection and cloud-based mitigation for
best practice defense of its users during any network attack.
NETSCOUT’s Arbor
Edge Defense can be deployed as an appliance or virtual solution,
delivering inline-visibility into traffic entering the network, and
providing always-on DDoS attack detection and mitigation. The on-premise
component can be managed by NETSCOUT as part of a fully managed service,
or by the customer. NETSCOUT’s Arbor Edge Defense is enhanced by threat
intelligence via the ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF). Developed by ASERT,
the AIF includes geo-location data and automates the identification of
attacks from known botnets and malware while ensuring that updates for
new threats are automatically delivered without intrusive software
upgrades. Working in unison with the AIF, Arbor Edge Defense can also
perform outbound blocking of communication from internal compromised
hosts – essentially acting as the first and last line of defense for
customers. Finally, Arbor Edge Defense provides protection to existing
infrastructure, such as firewalls and intrusion prevention systems
(IPS), and to business-critical systems, which are frequent targets of
DDoS attacks.
NETSCOUT’s patented Cloud
Signaling capability tightly integrates on-premise protection with
cloud-based defenses, significantly reducing the time needed to mitigate
attacks. This hybrid, multi-layer defense is an industry best practice
for DDoS protection services, ensuring that enterprise networks are
protected no matter what type of advanced DDoS attack they are facing.
Arbor Cloud’s on-demand, traffic-scrubbing service is staffed 24/7 by
Arbor’s DDoS security experts, providing complete transparency of
operation, including a view into blocked hosts and traffic scrubbing
performance, offering the flexibility enterprises need to alter attack
countermeasures and thresholds.
