Arbor Networks, a provider of DDoS and advanced threat protection solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, has unveiled its Arbor CloudSM DDoS protection solution for service provider and enterprise network operators.
Arbor is offering a turnkey, white-label platform for service providers, that enables them to meet market demand by launching, extending and enhancing cloud-based DDoS managed services. For enterprises, Arbor offers an integrated on-premise and cloud-based DDoS protection solution, delivering best practices defence against a number of attacks.
Arbor’s technology, products, and ATLAS research infrastructure power these new services, supported by a 24/7 Security Operations Center staffed by Arbor DDoS and security experts.
Arbor is deployed in many of the world’s service provider networks, with more than sixty providers offering managed security services powered by Arbor’s Peakflow SP platform. The Arbor Cloud solution will aim to enable the companies to quickly scale cloud-based DDoS security services.
DDoS has become the primary threat to the availability of enterprise networks. DDoS was once a basic high-volume attack that flooded the pipes of its targets. The modern DDoS threat is a complex series of attacks that target not just connection bandwidth, but multiple devices that make up existing security infrastructure, such as firewall/IPS devices, as well as a wide variety of applications that the business relies on, like HTTP, HTTPS, VoIP, DNS and SMTP. These infrastructure and application-layer attacks are low volume and they are designed to evade traditional perimeter defences, and often target them.
By utilising Arbor Cloud DDoS Protection, companies are able to deploy defence in a single solution, with integrated mitigation from the premise to the cloud. Arbor Cloud helps to protect enterprises against a wide spectrum of DDoS attacks, including volumetric, application-layer, state-exhaustion, blended and multi-vector DDoS attacks.
Arbor Networks president Colin Doherty said: "Arbor Cloud for DDoS is designed to meet the demand for DDoS protection in both markets we serve, the service provider and enterprise markets. We’ve helped many of our service provider customers launch cloud-based DDoS managed protection services, and Arbor Cloud will give them another way to scale and expand these services cost effectively. For the larger enterprise, the story is simple. An integrated on-premise and cloud-based DDoS protection solution is needed for optimal DDoS protection. Our channel partners are excited about this new offering from Arbor because they understand there is a need in the market for best practices DDoS defense."
