Advanced DDoS Protection, No Sacrifice Required
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2017--
Arbor
Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT),
announced today that it is making advanced DDoS protection available to
small and medium sized businesses through a suite of affordable,
flexible options that range from on-premise appliances to virtualized
solutions and Amazon Web Services support for unified protection across
hybrid cloud environments. Enterprises no longer have to sacrifice
performance for price or settle for bolted-on, check-the-box DDoS
protection solutions that lack essential functionality. These new
offerings reflect Arbor’s ongoing commitment to support enterprise of
all sizes in protecting their networks from DDoS threats that continue
to escalate in terms of their attack frequency, volume and complexity.
“Arbor’s technology was originally developed to meet the exacting
security and network availability needs of large enterprises. By
adapting its technology to smaller and medium sized businesses, at
prices and in form factors that better suit their business and
operational models, Arbor is significantly expanding the level and
quality of DDoS protection now available to these organizations. Given
their reliance on cloud-based applications and digital services, network
availability is as fundamental as electricity,” said Rob Ayoub, Research
Director in IDC's Security Products program.
Easy to Deploy & Operate
Whether deployed as an appliance, VM, or AWS instance, Arbor’s APS
solution is designed for smaller IT teams with limited resources. Easy
to deploy with extensive built-in automation, its “plug & play” design
means it can be quickly and easily installed using the default settings
- even during an attack. In addition to its robust out-of-the-box
capabilities, Arbor APS allows users to quickly fine tune protections
specific to their network. The platform’s intuitive UI and rich feature
set have won recognition from industry analysts and award programs
around the world.
World-Class DDoS Defense
Arbor recommends hybrid, or multi-layer defense to protect against all
types of DDoS threats. Cloud-based protection is essential to defend
against large, high volume attacks while on-premise protection, as
delivered by Arbor’s APS, also provides protection against complicated
application-layer and TCP state-exhaustion attacks. Arbor APS
incorporates sophisticated detection and mitigation technology providing
a complete view of network activities, enabling fast and automatic
blocking of attacks before they impact critical applications and
services.
Arbor also extends, automates and integrates protection to the cloud by
using Cloud Signaling technology to connect on-premise protection with
cloud-based DDoS services. The APS can be set to alert upstream service
providers, such as your ISP or Arbor Cloud, when larger attacks threaten
availability, ensuring the rapid mitigation of DDoS attacks before they
overwhelm local resources.
Integrated Global Threat Intelligence
Beyond the product benefits, Arbor provides visibility into internet
traffic and threats, as well as the actionable insights and threat
protections from our world-renowned security research team. The ATLAS
Intelligence Feed provides the products with automated, continuously
updated protections from the latest and most serious threats targeting
your business.
