The World's Leading DDoS Mitigation Technology From Arbor Networks Now Available in Solutions for the Enterprise Ranging From 500 Mbps to 40 Gbps Mitigation Capacity
BURLINGTON, MA, Dec 05, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of security and network
management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks,
today announced the latest version of the Pravail(R) Availability
Protection System (APS), as well as new hardware options to provide
greater flexibility in deployment. Pravail APS protects enterprises
that rely on Internet availability, securing business continuity and
availability by automatically neutralizing application-layer DDoS
attacks before they impact critical services. This easy-to-deploy
appliance relies on the world's most advanced and sophisticated
attack detection and mitigation technology and is now available in
traffic inspection capacities ranging from 500 Mbps all the way up to
10 Gbps. Arbor's Peakflow SP Threat Management System provides up to
40Gbps mitigation capacity -- providing deployment options for every
size organization.
World Leader in DDoS Mitigation
Arbor Networks' customers include
the vast majority of the world's service providers and many of the
largest enterprise networks in use today. According to a recent
report from Infonetics Research titled, DDoS Prevention Appliance
Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as top supplier of DDoS
prevention solutions overall as well as in the Carrier, Enterprise,
Government and Mobile market segments.
Stateless Analysis Filtering Engine (SAFE)
Arbor's Stateless
Analysis Filtering Engine (SAFE) is the backbone technology powering
Arbor's Peakflow and Pravail DDoS mitigation solutions worldwide.
That same technology that protects the vast majority of the world's
service provider networks is now available to enterprises of all
sizes, with mitigation capacity ranging from 500Mbps to 40Gbps.
The Stateless Analysis Filtering Engine is a unique packet-based
engine that provides the foundation for both Pravail APS and the
Arbor service provider solutions. Unlike load balancers, IPS or
firewalls, SAFE detects and mitigates most DDoS attacks without
tracking any session state. In cases where tracking is required, SAFE
only stores minimal information for a short period of time. As a
result, Pravail APS can withstand the target state tables in other
security products and threaten availability. Further, SAFE
incorporates advanced DDoS countermeasures developed by Arbor's
Security Engineering & Response Team (ASERT). These countermeasures
include advanced packet-based protections which neutralize hundreds
of malware families that make up the vast majority of the global
botnet threat.
"Pravail APS provides what other perimeter-based security devices
cannot, and that is the ability to proactively protect against DDoS
attacks," said Richard Martinez, enterprise security analyst with
Frost & Sullivan. "Given the threat complexity and the business
impact of DDoS, a full-spectrum solution is required. A common
response by many administrators to the challenges of DDoS is the
belief that their firewall and IPS infrastructure will protect them
from attack. Unfortunately, this is not true. Firewalls and IPS
devices, while critical to network protection, are not adequate to
protect against complex DDoS attacks."
"DDoS is a complex problem that combines multiple attack techniques,
tools and targets. Enterprises are realizing that existing solutions,
such as firewalls and IPS, are not designed for availability threats
such as application layer DDoS attacks," said Arbor Networks
President Colin Doherty. "Pravail APS is purpose-built for
application layer DDoS and for deployment in an enterprise
environment. We're bringing the same technology that protects the
vast majority of the world's ISP's to the enterprise."
What's new in Pravail APS 3.0:
-- Advanced Web crawler service: Pravail APS delivers superior
availability protection without impacting a Website's page ranking and
search engine results. The ASERT team has created policies that allow
specific Web crawlers, but blocks those that are malicious or
irrelevant. This provides a constant update on legitimate Web crawlers
with protections in place to identify spoofing and illegitimate
crawlers.
-- Insights into Advanced Botnet Attacks: Pravail APS 3.0 includes
updates to the ATLAS(R) Intelligence Feed (AIF) that simplify
attack identification and reporting. AIF automatically provisions
Pravail APS appliances with the latest defenses to new threats as well
as updates to IP location data -- all in real-time. The AIF is made
possible as a result of Arbor's close and privileged relationship with
leading ISPs around the world with an extensive network of sensors and
data, giving Arbor real-time visibility into 35Tbps of global Internet
traffic. This gives Arbor unmatched insight into emerging threats --
information used by ASERT to develop defenses to new, emerging
threats.
-- A Focus on the Security Operations Center (SOC): Pravail APS 3.0
includes new reporting and protection features including SOC
notification of blocked attacks, increased protection mechanisms and
identification of unusual traffic patterns that could be indicative of
an attack. Pravail APS 3.0 also gives the SOC the ability to customize
attack responses for only the assets and services targeted by the
attack (which minimizes impact for unaffected assets). All of these
features better arm SOC engineers to intelligently and surgically
mitigate attacks.
