NETSCOUT Arbor Edge Defense Named “Threat Detection Solution of the Year” in 2024

NETSCOUT is excited to announce that its Arbor Edge Defense (AED) solution has won “Threat Detection Solution of the Year” at the 8th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards!

The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize innovation, hard work, and success in a range of information security categories, including cloud security, threat intelligence, risk management, fraud prevention, mobile security, email security, and many more. We are passionate about the critical importance of cybersecurity solutions, and the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards were built to serve as the information security industry’s most comprehensive program that recognizes the top companies, products, technical innovation, and people in the cybersecurity industry today.

“AED delivers superior performance and key features in response to a rise in dynamic DDoS attacks that frequently switch methodologies or threat vectors until successful,” said  Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “DDoS attacks have evolved to counter network defenses while adversaries continue to launch new botnet-based attacks, creating a shifting paradigm with direct-path attacks at the center. Traditional cloud-based DDoS protection solutions struggle to eliminate these smaller, dynamic attacks.” 

AED is a powerful inline, stateless security solution that blocks a wide range of cyberthreats, including DDoS attacks, malicious traffic from bad actors, and outbound communication to known command-and-control infrastructure, adding an extra layer of protection at the network edge. The power of AED lies in the Adaptive DDoS Protection feature that repeatedly analyzes new attacks to overcome adversarial changes in attack vectors. Adaptive DDoS Protection is driven by the global visibility and advanced threat intelligence available to our products because of our relationships with technology, service providers, and commercial partners developed over 25 years in the DDoS space. We see more than 50 percent of all internet traffic, which includes more than 230 countries and territories, more than 600 industry verticals, more than 31,000 autonomous system numbers, and tens of millions of attacks per year.

NETSCOUT continues to distinguish itself as a digital transformation leader and innovator, committed to ensuring the very best in network, application, and user experience performance.
