[{"type":"text","content":"\nNew Dubai Presence Reduces Latency for Enterprises and ISPs in the Middle East with 15 Tbps Dedicated Capacity\n\n WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nNETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of performance management, cybersecurity, and DDoS protection solutions, today announced that it has extended its leadership position in DDoS protection by expanding its Arbor Cloud attack mitigation scrubbing centers to 15 worldwide with a dedicated capacity of 15 terabits per second (Tbps).
