Overview
Carrier-Grade DDoS protection with Intelligent Automation
Year after year, DDoS attacks continue to increase in size, frequency, and complexity. As a communication, cloud, or internet service provider, maintaining network and service availability is paramount to the success of your organization. Without a dedicated DDoS attack protection solution, service providers of all types run the risk of key network services being rendered unavailable to customers, leading to reputational damage, loss of revenue, and other major risks.
Since its founding in 2000, Arbor has pioneered innovations in DDoS protection, network visibility, and threat intelligence—helping service providers, enterprises, and governments defend critical infrastructure and maintain the availability of online services the world depends on every day.
By continuously evolving its technology and anticipating new attack vectors, NETSCOUT’s Arbor DDoS attack protection technology has not only protected communication service provider services, but also played a vital role in preserving the integrity and viability of the global internet and the day-to-day services that rely upon it.
World’s Broadest View of the DDoS Attack Landscape
25 Years. 800Tbps of DDoS Activity. 550+ Customers. 205 Territories. 398 Industry Verticals. 15,612 ASNs. Up to 50% of the World’s Internet Traffic.
How it Works
Three Key Components. One Complete DDoS Protection Solution.
Pervasive Network Visibility and AI-Powered, Adaptable DDoS Attack Detection
Visibility across your entire network infrastructure is a fundamental requirement for DDoS protection. NETSCOUT’s Arbor Sightline and ATLAS Intelligence Feed psolution is widely recognized as the industry-leading network visibility and DDoS detection solution capable of automatically detecting complex, multi-vector DDoS attacks and coordinating multiple methods of mitigation.
Highly Scalable, AI-Powered, Surgical Mitigation
Modern DDoS attacks can be multiple Tbps in size and leverage more than 30 attack vectors to increase complexity. To combat this, service providers rely on Arbor Threat Mitigation System (TMS), a highly scalable, out-of-band, stateless DDoS attack mitigation solution capable of automatically stopping all types of DDoS attacks up to 500 Gbps per TMS and 50 Tbps per deployment in size. Using ATLAS Intelligence Feed and AI, TMS automatically adapts to DDoS attacks as they evolve in real-time, modifying defensive countermeasures to combat various sophisticated attacks (e.g., multi-vector, carpet bombing, application-layer). As DDoS attacks change, Arbor TMS Adaptive DDoS protection automatically adapts to remove the DDoS attack traffic from the network, preventing disruptions to key network services.
Continuously Fueled by AI-Powered, Actionable Threat Intelligence
With more than 25 years of experience, the industry-leading NETSCOUT Arbor DDoS protection solution is continually enhanced with the AI-Powered ATLAS Intelligence Feed and Adaptive Arbor DDoS features, automatically blocking today's and future DDoS threats.
