NETSCOUT Arbor to Deliver DDoS Protection;
Brazil was 5th Most Targeted Country by DDoS
Attackers in 2017
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 18, 2018--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of service
assurance, security, and business analytics, today announced that the
Brazilian Network Information Centre – NIC.br, an organization that
implements the projects designed by the Brazilian Internet Steering
Committee – CGI.br, has selected Arbor
DDoS solutions to strengthen its Network Operations Center defense
capabilities to protect its infrastructure against service disrupting
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
In 2017, Brazil was the fifth most frequently targeted country by DDoS
attackers. This led NIC.br to take proactive measures to enhance their
detection and mitigation capabilities to ensure availability of their
network resources.
NETSCOUT Arbor SP provides comprehensive network visibility and
reporting capabilities to help NIC.br detect and understand availability
threats, and improve traffic engineering, peering relationships and
service performance. A vital component of the Arbor DDoS solution, Arbor
TMS, supports a mitigation architecture called diversion/reinjection.
Arbor TMS removes only the malicious traffic and forwards the legitimate
traffic to its intended destination. This is highly advantageous for
service providers, large enterprises and large hosting/cloud providers
because it enables a single, centrally located Arbor TMS to protect
multiple links and multiple data centers. The result is more efficient
use of mitigation capacity and fully non-intrusive security.
“It was a project thoughtfully designed to increase our capabilities to
resist an attack scenario,” says Marcelo Gardini, systems manager at
NIC.br. “Today, whoever is connected on the internet will suffer an
attack. It’s not a question of whether you will be attacked or not. The
attack will happen, and you must be prepared. As a result of our
NETSCOUT Arbor deployment, we can perform mitigation in a more automated
way that is simpler and faster. Several mitigation techniques we use are
now integrated into a single interface and a single tool.”
“It’s certainly an honor for us to be chosen by the highly professional
NIC.br team. They have mastered all aspects of our solutions to get the
most out of them as protection tools to reinforce their NOC capabilities
and keep their network always available,” said Geraldo Guazzelli,
NETSCOUT Arbor's country manager in Brazil.
