“Arbor is a relatively new entrant into the DDoS managed services

are especially pleased that our customers gave Arbor high marks for
value delivered and overall solution costs. Arbor has virtualized our
entire portfolio and developed a number of affordable and flexible
managed service offerings to meet the needs of any organization
interested in protecting the availability of their digital assets,” said
Darren Anstee, Chief Technology Officer at Arbor Networks.
Market Drivers for DDoS Protection
According to the report, “digital
businesses depend on constant, uninterrupted connectivity. Websites,
applications and cloud services are potential targets for DDoS attacks.
Attackers may target enterprises for extortion, hacktivism, political
motivation, competitive reasons or as part of a data breach.”
“Hybrid solutions offer the best of both”
Arbor Networks has
long been a proponent of hybrid DDoS defenses as industry best practice.
According to Forrester, “many firms choose a hybrid approach using
on-premises DDoS mitigation appliances with cloud-based services. A
hybrid approach provides fast detection and defense with low latency and
the ability to utilize cloud-based mitigation should the need arise.
When attack volumes grow and threaten to overwhelm the on-premises
solution, it can signal to the cloud provider to begin mitigation in the
cloud.”
Arbor Cloud: Affordable, Fully Managed Hybrid 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 vAPS
can also be deployed in Amazon’s Web Services cloud offering unified
DDoS protection for hybrid-cloud environments. 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.
