Arbor vAPS to Protect Data Center Customers from Volumetric,
Application and Infrastructure DDoS Attacks
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of service
assurance, security, and business analytics, today announced that Jaguar
Network, a global provider of hosting, network, corporate telephony
and cloud services, has selected the Arbor
vAPS for their first network function virtualization and
software-defined networking (SDN/NFV)-based DDoS protection solution.
“We have been successfully using Arbor technologies for many years and
look forward to providing high-end protection with competitive pricing
inside our multi-cloud offering called JN Cloud Atlas platform. This is
directly in line with Jaguar Network’s strategy to make technologies
accessible in order to ensure effective use by the entire entrepreneur
community,” said Jaguar Networks’ CEO Kevin Polizzi.
DDoS Attacks and the Data Center
There were 7.5 million DDoS attacks in 2017, according to data from Arbor’s
Active Threat Level Analysis System (ATLAS) which covers
approximately one-third of global internet traffic. According to our 13th
annual Worldwide
Infrastructure Security Report, among data center operators, 45
percent saw their internet bandwidth saturated due to DDoS attacks.
This, at a time when the consequences are rising. Reputation/brand
damage and operational expense were still the two main business impacts
of DDoS attacks, the former cited by 57 percent, an increase from 48
percent last year. There was also a big jump in respondents reporting
revenue loss as a business impact, up to 32 percent from just 17 percent
previously.
“The Arbor vAPS is designed from the ground up with the enterprise in
mind, and has a simple easy-to-use user interface. Once configured, the
vAPS can automatically mitigate most DDoS attacks, including volumetric,
application-layer attacks those that target firewalls and other stateful
devices. vAPS can also automatically block in-bound/out-bound traffic
to/from known bad actor infrastructure on the internet, using Arbor’s
ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF). Finally, vAPS provides a wealth of
additional forensic reporting capabilities that managed services
customers require,” said Frederic Fleurat, NETSCOUT Arbor regional
manager.
Virtualized DDoS Protection
NETSCOUT has fully virtualized its Arbor DDoS protection platforms to
provide customers like Jaguar Network the flexibility they need to fit
any network architecture and protection model. SDN/NFV enables Jaguar
Network to deliver managed services more quickly and more
cost-effectively. Customers can subscribe to security services on their
portal and have the services provisioned and activated within minutes
without any need for physical infrastructure changes within their
network. The result is an easy, ‘on-demand’ way for customers to access
the DDoS protection they need to mitigate their business risk —
delivered more quickly and cost-effectively than was previously possible.
Arbor licensing is based on “capacity pools” that allow Jaguar Network
to dynamically enable protection capacity (in the form of vAPS
instances) wherever and whenever they want. For example, they could
license a 10G pool and offer a 1Gbps managed service to ten different
customers, 100x 100Mbps or any mix of supported throughputs. And,
licenses can be moved from customer to customer, scaled up or down and
even re-used as customers join the service, as their capacity needs
change or as they leave the service.
