What is NETSCOUT Arbor DDoS Protection?
NETSCOUT Arbor DDoS Protection security software offers protection across multiple layers of the OSI model (Open Systems Interconnection model). It provides security measures for Layer 2 (Data Link layer) through Layer 7 (Application layer), ensuring complete protection for network infrastructure. This product is compatible with various internet protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, and DNS, making it versatile and compatible with a wide range of network environments.
NETSCOUT Arbor includes a suite of security products:
Arbor Sightline is a DDoS attack detection solution that provides robust capabilities from network-wide capacity planning, to identifying and managing the mitigation and detection of DDoS and other threats to the network. Arbor’s AI and ML-driven Adaptive DDoS Protection solutions combine visibility into the global Internet threat landscape with machine learning to detect and mitigate attacks. Arbor Sightline can also monitor the capacity of network infrastructure, to avoid saturation and re-engineer network traffic for more efficient utilization.
Arbor Threat Mitigation System provides enterprise-level cloud and edge protection and comes in a variety of mitigation platforms and capacities, including 2U appliances (500 Mbps–400 Gbps of mitigation), 6U chassis (10–100 Gbps of mitigation), and virtual supporting KVM & VMware hypervisor (1– 40 Gbps). Working in conjunction with Arbor Sightline, the Arbor Threat Mitigation System (TMS) surgically removes DDoS attack traffic from a network without disrupting key network services.
NETSCOUT’s Arbor Sightline Mobile combines scalable threat detection with MobileStream (this passively monitor GTP-c and GTP-u traffic) for scalable user-plane and control plane monitoring in 4G, 5G NSA and 5G SA networks.
Arbor Edge Defense (AED) offers an on premise, stateless, in-line, always-on AI and ML powered DDoS protection. Positioned on the network edge (i.e., between the internet router and the firewall), it provides inline, always-on, DDoS protection. AED uses AI & ML driven packet analysis, decades of DDoS protection and mitigation expertise to stop all DDoS attacks automatically.
Arbor Cloud, where inbound traffic is routed via BGP or DNS through 16 DDoS scrubbing centers with over 15Tbps capacity. Even the largest attacks are well mitigated, and only clean traffic is returned to the internet access links and servers.
Arbor is also available as a managed service. Managed DDoS protection service provides additional DDoS expertise and continuous operation of DDoS defenses to best current practices; continuously backed by global threat intelligence: The NETSCOUT ATLAS global threat intelligence system monitors over 550 Tbps of Internet traffic in real-time across over 500 ISPs and 2000-plus enterprise sites from over 100 countries.
