BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2017--
Arbor
Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT),
announced today that the Arbor
Cloud DDoS managed service was named Best Enterprise Security
Solution at the prestigious 2017
Computing Security Awards held last week in London. This is the
third major industry award recognizing Arbor Cloud for excellence in
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection in the past four weeks.
Arbor Cloud was also named Best
Cloud Product at the Cloud Excellence Awards sponsored by Computing
Magazine, and Best
Managed Service at the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards.
“Once again this is tremendous recognition for the DDoS managed service
that Arbor has built. The volume and sophistication of DDoS attacks
continues to increase, and for many businesses, a managed service is
their best option. With Arbor Cloud, smaller organizations can be
protected by the same technology and people that defend the world’s
largest organizations. Our message is, you don’t have to compromise any
longer on something as important as the availability of your business,”
said Theresa Abbamondi, Arbor Networks Director of Product Management
for Arbor Cloud & Services.
Arbor Cloud: Affordable, Fully Managed DDoS Protection
Arbor
Cloud offers enterprise customers’ affordable, fully managed DDoS
protection powered by the industry’s leading technology and backed by
its most experienced incident responders. Arbor Cloud can be deployed as
cloud only, hybrid - where the customer manages the on-premise solution
- or fully managed, with Arbor handling all aspects of a best practice
multi-layered defense.
Arbor
Networks® APS can be deployed as an appliance or virtual solution,
delivering visibility into traffic entering the network, providing
always-on DDoS attack detection and mitigation up to 40Gbps. Arbor’s
patented Cloud
Signaling capability tightly integrates this on-premise protection
with cloud-based defenses, automating a key component of DDoS defense
and 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.
Why Does Arbor Cloud Keep Winning Awards?
Industry Leading Scale: Arbor Cloud has 4Tbps of mitigation
capacity dedicated to DDoS protection. By distributing capacity
globally, attacks can be mitigated more quickly and closer to the
source. This distributed model enables customer traffic to stay
in-region and, in some cases, in-country. Not only does this allow for
quicker remediation, it provides additional value by addressing emerging
data privacy considerations on cloud service providers.
Automated Threat Intelligence: Arbor APS is enhanced by threat
intelligence via the ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF). Developed by Arbor’s
Security Engineering and Response Team (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 APS can also block outbound threats, helping
prevent data exfiltration.
Custom Workflows: The Arbor Cloud team takes the time to
understand customer processes and has the flexibility to work within
them. With many vendors, even good ones, it’s their way or no way.
Customer-focused Reporting: Arbor Cloud also offers complete
transparency of operations, including a view into blocked hosts and even
packets, offering the flexibility enterprises need to alter attack
countermeasures and thresholds. Arbor takes a proactive, consultative
approach that leverages global threat intelligence as the basis for
recommendations to improve customer’s security posture, and supplies
executive-level reporting that demonstrates ROI and key metrics for the
C-suite.
