How to Accelerate Deployment of Services with AWS

NETSCOUT uses the industry’s most scalable, lightweight, distributed architecture to generate Smart Data. This data serves as the foundation for providing actionable intelligence, empowering enterprises to confidently migrate workloads to AWS. Through continuous monitoring and by capturing all wire data (traffic flows) traversing the hybrid cloud environment—performing simultaneous deep-packet inspection and real-time analysis—vSTREAM® generates Smart Data at its point of collection. vSTREAM seamlessly operates with NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE solution to gain a centralized view into the performance characteristics of all infrastructure and application components and their dependencies across geographically dispersed data centers and cloud environments.

With valuable and timely intelligence into application performance you can proactively troubleshoot problems.

How to Solve Security Issues Faster and with Fewer Resources

CyberStream network security sensors convert raw packets into a rich source of data for advanced network threat detection and response. CyberStream is used in combination with Omnis Cyber Intelligence to provide enterprise-wide cybersecurity monitoring, alerting and detection, in-depth triage, and workflows for investigating potential threats.

Arbor Edge Defense (AED) provides an inline, always-on, first line of defense for inbound distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. AED provides a single holistic solution to protect customers’ assets no matter where they are, on-premises, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. AED blocks bulk inbound and outbound threat traffic to prevent overload of the rest of the virtual security stack (such as a firewall). Additionally, AED blocks and alerts on any traffic leaving the network (at the edge) that it identifies as a threat because, at that point, the traffic has passed the rest of the security stack. Enterprises have often expressed that AED provides the first indication of a critical malware infection.
