Adaptive DDoS Protection Solution

Adaptive DDoS Protection in NETSCOUT Arbor Edge Defense (AED) is an AI- and ML-powered technology specifically designed to adapt to any changes in an attacker’s strategy or methodology. This, combined with more than 25 years of DDoS protection experience, ensures the continued availability of your most critical business services and applications.

The NETSCOUT DDoS Threat Intelligence Report’s latest findings indicate that attacks are increasing in size, frequency, and complexity. These attacks are especially difficult because they are smaller and shorter in duration, but still manifest as full network outages or nuisance application downtime and can change vectors during an attack to evade fundamental DDoS defenses, especially upstream ones.

The Real Dangers of DDoS Attacks

Significant disruptions in network availability can negatively affect brand reputation, customer trust, and revenue. Defending your network efficiently requires AI- and ML-driven technology that can adapt to the ever-changing attackers’ challenges and global threat intelligence that provides operational and accurate knowledge about the adversary.

How Adaptive DDoS Protection Works

Within AED, the Adaptive DDoS Protection process employs this intelligence and AI and ML technology to continually check new attack traffic against existing countermeasures to ensure new attack verification. Once identified, protection recommendations, including activation of existing countermeasures, are created and presented against existing countermeasures to provide full visibility of changes. Then, the process repeats to ensure your protection keeps pace with the evolution of attack traffic.
