Proven Mitigation Technology, Virtualized Portfolio Deliver High
Value and Return on Investment
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2017--
Arbor
Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT),
announced today that global industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan has
honored the company with the 2017 DDoS Mitigation Products Market
Leadership Award. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the
company that has developed an innovative product element by leveraging
leading-edge technologies. The award recognizes the value-added
features/benefits of the product and the increased return on investment
(ROI) it offers customers, which in turn raises customer acquisition and
overall market penetration potential.
Frost & Sullivan drafted a white paper that examines the distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) threat landscape, and explains Arbor’s
selection as the 2017 DDoS Mitigation Products Market Leader.
“Whether you are a small or medium enterprise (SME) or a Fortune 500
organization, availability is foundational to everything you do. Arbor
Networks recognizes this, and has been focused on delivering high value
and return on investment for its customers. It has virtualized its
entire DDoS portfolio to support customer SDN and NFV environments,
introduced low-cost appliances and new virtual solutions that start at
sub-100Mb capacity. It has also updated its pricing models and
introduced fully managed services. As a result, Arbor’s portfolio meets
the diverse needs of organizations ranging from the SMEs to the largest
service providers,” said Frost & Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst, Chris
Rodriguez.
“Arbor has led the DDoS market for more than a decade because we listen
to our customers’ needs and requirements, and use ATLAS to understand
changes in the threat space. Over the past two years we’ve seen a steep
change in the scale, complexity, and frequency of DDoS attacks and we’ve
seen a much broader range of enterprises become dependent on the
connected world. To address these changes, we’ve focused on building
automation into our products wherever possible. We’re looking to
integrate with Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) and Internet
Service Provider (ISP) service delivery platforms. And, we’ve widened
our physical and virtual product portfolio to give service providers the
ability to mitigate the massive attacks we’ve seen from weaponized IoT
botnets, and the SME solutions to cost-effectively manage their risk.
The threats never stand still, and neither do we,” said Arbor Networks
Chief Technology Officer, Darren Anstee.
