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.
