Stop DDoS Attacks with AI and ML-Powered Threat Intelligence and Technology

DDoS attacks continue to be the easiest and least expensive method for bad actors to cripple your organization by negatively impacting your network’s availability to users and customers. Whats new is complex multi-vector attacks and probing activity that manifest as nuisance outages or mysterious application downtime and are designed to evade existing defenses including upstream protections. To address these DDoS threats, security teams need solutions that can identify and mitigate attacks of any size and duration without impacting legitimate traffic and organization productivity.

NETSCOUT Arbor Edge Defense (AED) is uniquely positioned on the network edge (i.e., between the internet router and the firewall) to provide inline, always-on, DDoS protection. To leverage this unique and valuable position, AED uses AI & ML driven packet analysis, decades of DDoS protection and mitigation expertise to stop all DDoS attacks automatically.

Benefits

Increased Productivity

Protect the availability of your network, the flow of legitimate traffic and the productivity of users with fine tuned adaptive mitigation strategies in real time against active attacks.

Decreased Downtime and Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)

By employing AI & ML powered analysis backed by world-class threat intelligence, AED can reduce downtime and MTTR by quickly identifying and mitigating all DDoS attacks.

Decreased Costs for Security Stack Capacity Upgrades

Save your organization the cost of capacity upgrades by cleaning up nuisance traffic and reducing operational load on critical devices in your security stack most importantly your firewalls. Customers have reported a reduction in operational load on firewalls by upwards of 80% with AED out of the box.

Arbor Edge Defense can do more than DDoS mitigation

94% of surveyed IT organizations who selected effectively stopping complex DDoS attacks or effectively stopping state-exhaustion DDoS attacks agree that NETSCOUT Arbor Edge Defense and Arbor Cloud DDoS Protection helps solve cybersecurity challenges by detecting and blocking both inbound and outbound IoCs as well as other cyber threats.
