BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2016--
Arbor
Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT),
today announced that Taiwan Mobile Business Solution has introduced a
multi-layer distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection service for
their enterprise customers that is powered by Arbor’s DDoS mitigation
technology. Taiwan Mobile is a leading telecommunications company in
Taiwan offering mobile, fixed-line, cable TV and broadband services.
“Enterprises under DDoS attacks are flooded with an overwhelming flux of
packets. Not only is the network bandwidth oversaturated and the server
resource depleted, in some cases, the overloaded network protection
equipment is also forced to shut down, allowing the attacker to break
into the system and to latently prepare a targeted attack. Arbor’s
multi-layer DDoS protection solutions enable us to give our customers
full network visibility, actionable security intelligence, and
broad-based DDoS attack detection and mitigation,” said Chuan-Hui Wu,
chief operating officer of Taiwan Mobile’s Business Solution.
“Taiwan Mobile Business Solution customers will benefit from an
integrated on-demand solution that delivers protection from the full
spectrum of modern DDoS attacks that target bandwidth, applications and
infrastructure, often at the same time. Arbor has been a proponent of
multi-layer protection for many years, and we are gratified that Taiwan
Mobile Business Solution has decided to launch a service for their
customers that follows best practice defense,” said Alex Chin, Taiwan
country manager for Arbor Networks.
The Need for Multi-Layer Protection
Today’s complex DDoS
attacks are the number one threat to the availability of networks,
applications and online services. Volumetric attacks are growing. The
increasing popularity of amplification/reflection attacks together with
massive Internet of Things botnets is adding a new layer of complexity.
Modern day DDoS attacks now employ a combination of volumetric,
TCP-state exhaustion and application-layer attack vectors. Taiwan Mobile
Business Solution is now able to provide cloud-based traffic scrubbing
services tightly integrated with on-premise DDoS mitigation defense.
This multi-layered, hybrid approach represents the most comprehensive
DDoS program an enterprise can deploy to mitigate today’s full spectrum
of DDoS threats.
The Arbor Solution
The cloud-based protection is delivered
via the integrated Arbor
SP and Arbor
TMS solutions. Arbor SP combines network-wide anomaly detection and
traffic engineering with Arbor TMS’ carrier-class threat management,
which automatically detects and surgically removes only attack traffic,
while maintaining other business traffic. With the ability to mitigate
only the attack traffic, customer-facing services remain available while
providers actively mitigate attacks. More than 60 global internet
service providers rely on the integrated Arbor SP and Arbor TMS
solutions to offer a managed DDoS service to their customers.
The on-premise protection comes via the Arbor
APS solution, the first on-premise security product focused on
securing the network perimeter from threats against availability –
specifically application-layer DDoS attacks. Purpose-built for the
enterprise, Arbor APS delivers out-of-the-box, proven attack
identification and mitigation capabilities that can be deployed with
little configuration, even during an attack.
Arbor’s patented Cloud Signaling capability ensures the tightest
integration possible between on-premise and cloud-based mitigation.
