Arbor Sightline for High Fidelity Traffic Analytics; Integrated and
Automated Threat Mitigation System for DDoS Defense
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of service
assurance, security, and business analytics, today announced
enhancements to its suite of traffic visibility, data analytics and
threat mitigation solutions for global network and data center
operators. NETSCOUT’s Arbor Sightline solution with the integrated
Threat Mitigation System is pervasively deployed among service providers
and large cloud operators to provide network-wide traffic engineering,
peering analytics, traffic forensics and DDoS protection.
With the availability of the latest 9.0 updates, customers benefit from
greater visibility and clarity into their network operations, enhanced
anomaly detection, and improved automation for DDoS protection.
“NETSCOUT is continuing their strategy of disaggregating hardware from
software, offering flexible deployment options, including virtualized
versions of their products that enable customers to scale
cost-effectively across even the largest networks. The increased focus
on analytics is vitally important, bringing greater context to network
data and helping operators improve their response time to traffic
anomalies and performance issues through a single user interface,” said
Rik Turner, principal security analyst, Ovum.
Enhanced Visibility and Network Clarity
NETSCOUT’s Arbor
Sightline, formerly sold as Arbor SP, analyzes NetFlow, SNMP and BGP
telemetry data, annotating it with context specific to the customer
network, users and traffic, transforming raw telemetry into smart data
for actionable business insights into service and application
performance, traffic engineering, capacity planning and security
operations.
Sightline
with Insight adds powerful visual analytics and a big data
repository giving users an infinitely searchable, ‘what if’ photographic
memory of their traffic data. With the latest release, hours of analysis
and investigation can be reduced to minutes through more flexible
visualizations of traffic flows, unlimited filtering options and more
intuitive workflows.
DDoS Detection & Mitigation
NETSCOUT’s Arbor
Threat Mitigation System (Arbor TMS) is the DDoS platform of choice
for more than sixty managed security services providers and hundreds of
ISPs and other network operators globally. TMS can be deployed either in
diversion mode or inline to provide “always on” mitigation against DDoS
attack traffic without disrupting key network infrastructure and
customer services.
With this release, Arbor Sightline can intelligently and automatically
manage available TMS mitigation capacity by dynamically shifting attacks
among available Arbor TMS mitigation infrastructure as attack traffic
volume changes. This prevents overloading network infrastructure and
reduces operation staff time spent managing DDoS attack response. Arbor
TMS can now mitigate twice as many simultaneous attacks allowing service
providers to significantly grow their DDoS managed service customer base.
New features allow Arbor Sightline to detect carpet bombing DDoS attacks
in as little as one second using enhanced fast flood detection and then
automatically mitigate these attacks by determining which IP ranges are
under attack at any given moment and dynamically diverting just that
traffic to the Arbor TMS mitigation infrastructure.
“The growth of IoT and the ever-expanding threat of network-based
attacks puts intensifying pressure on organizations’ ability to
identify, analyze and protect their infrastructure against these
threats,” said Talbot Hack, senior director, product management,
NETSCOUT. “Scrutinizing large traffic volumes over time, contextualizing
and refining this data, and quickly acting on anomalies that threaten
network availability has never been more necessary. But resource
constraints continue to impact network operators, increasing the value
of scalable, end-to-end, automated analytics workflows and protections.”
