DDoS Managed Service Named Best Security Solution
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of service
assurance, security, and business analytics, today announced that the
Arbor Cloud DDoS protection service has been named Best Security
Solution at the Fierce Innovation Awards which were held at the NextGen
Wireless Networks Summit in Dallas, TX.
“The Fierce Innovation Award recognizes the dedication and effort of the
great team we have. A managed service is only as good as the people
behind it. You find that out when it matters most, during an attack.
When that time does come, Arbor Cloud customers are protected by an
experienced team of DDoS incident responders,” said Brian McCann,
NETSCOUT’s president of the core markets business unit.
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 integrates
on-premise DDoS protection and cloud-based mitigation for best practice
defense of its users during any network attack.
NETSCOUT 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 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, NETSCOUT 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, NETSCOUT 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 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 against advanced DDoS attacks.
Arbor Cloud’s on-demand, traffic-scrubbing service is staffed 24/7 by
Arbor’s DDoS security experts, providing transparency of operation,
including a view into blocked hosts and traffic scrubbing performance,
offering the flexibility enterprises need to alter attack
countermeasures and thresholds.
