(NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of performance management, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, today released its latest version of Arbor Edge Defense (AED) which includes new ML-based Adaptive DDoS Protection.\n\n\nAccording to NETSCOUT's latest DDoS Threat Intelligence Report, there has been a significant increase in a new breed of dynamic DDoS attacks that use multiple vectors and techniques to launch botnet-based, direct-path, state exhaustion, and application-layer attacks designed to evade conventional static network and cloud-only-based DDoS defense.\n\n\nEvery enterprise is at grave risk today if they don’t deploy an effective DDoS solution on-premises to protect their network edge, internet-facing services, and critical stateful infrastructure such as firewalls and load balancers from these constantly evolving attacks. Attackers can send dynamic direct-path DDoS traffic at any time, and they can quickly change attack vectors during the attack making them nearly impossible to defend without the right technology. With AED’s Adaptive DDoS Protection, IT teams now have a scalable, always-on stateless packet processing solution that uses unmatched visibility into more than 50% of all internet traffic, global, real-time DDoS attack threat intelligence, decades of DDoS mitigation experience, and machine learning (ML) software intelligence to automatically detect, adapt to, and mitigate dynamic DDoS attacks.\n\n\n“As cyber threats become more sophisticated and dynamic, IT teams need to out-smart bad actors with the ability to adapt and surgically block unwanted traffic at the network edge,” said Scott Iekel-Johnson, AVP, DDoS and Threat Intelligence at NETSCOUT. “With unmatched real-time visibility into global DDoS attack activity and decades of mitigation experience, no one knows more about DDoS attacks than NETSCOUT. With AED’s Adaptive DDoS Protection, enterprises can take advantage of our DDoS attack expertise and minimize unnecessary workloads that force expensive upgrades with an always-on product that can scale to protect every edge from a single pane of glass.”\n\n\nAutomated AED Protects Enterprises from ...
