BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 10, 2017--
Arbor
Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT),
announced today that Network Products Guide, the industry's leading
information security research and advisory guide, has named Arbor
Networks a gold winner in multiple categories at its 2017 IT World
Awards. Arbor was considered among companies with 500-2,499 employees.
The annual awards program recognizes vendors with advanced,
ground-breaking products and solutions in all areas of the security and
technology industries. Winners from all over the world were recognized
during an awards ceremony in San Francisco.
“The constant thread that runs through these awards is innovation and a
commitment to customers. Arbor was founded 17 years ago following a
university research project and a Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA) grant that led us to protect the world’s largest
networks. We’ve never lost that commitment to research or the spirit of
continuous innovation as a cornerstone of the company culture that is
further amplified as a security business inside NETSCOUT,”
said Brian McCann, President of NETSCOUT’s Security Business Unit.
GOLD WINNER: Arbor
Networks SP Insight for New Products & Services
Arbor
Networks SP Insight builds on the industry-leading Arbor Networks SP
platform. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack forensics, network
troubleshooting, and planning and peering/transit analysis are just a
few of the myriad tasks made easier using Arbor Networks SP Insight. The
platform integrates powerful
new big data capabilities that create a photographic memory of
network traffic data with new visual analytics for exploring data at the
speed of thought. Arbor SP’s unique flow annotations and enrichment
create context by matching this photographic memory context to network
topology, customers and traffic patterns. This enables network
operations and security teams to conduct agile, multi-dimensional
searches of both raw and enriched data with unlimited filtering, the
ability to maintain granularity over time, detailed retrospective
drill-downs and effortless pivots from graphical to tabular
visualizations — all while maintaining state on the event and period of
interest.
GOLD WINNER: Best
Latin American Deployment
Arbor maintained the availability
of key networks associated with a major sporting event in Latin America
during the summer of 2016. The company worked with Brazilian internet
service providers (ISPs) and other organizations for months leading up
to the event to deploy a hybrid multi-layered defense against
availability threats, namely DDoS attacks. Arbor’s technology protected
against sophisticated, large-scale DDoS attacks launched from an
Internet of Things (IoT) botnet and reached 500Gbps of attack traffic,
making it the largest sustained attack observed by Arbor in the past 16
years.
GOLD WINNER: Darren
Anstee for CTO of the Year
Darren is responsible for
the technology strategy of Arbor’s products and services that help
customers see and understand network traffic to solve their most complex

& Response Team (ASERT), solutions architects, sales and engineering
groups to drive alignment of the next generation capabilities that will
help customers across enterprise and service provider markets.
