Arbor Networks ATLAS(R) Threat Monitoring System Turns Six Years Old
BURLINGTON, MA, Feb 25, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
-- Unique Insight into Global Threat Landscape; 250+ Participating
Network Operators ; 43 Tbps of Internet Traffic Monitored
-- New Frost & Sullivan/Stratecast White Paper Available: Defeating
Cyber Threats Requires a Wider Net
Arbor Networks Inc., a leading provider of network security and
management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks,
today celebrated the sixth anniversary of its ATLAS(R) Active Threat
Level Analysis System, the world's first global threat analysis
network. ATLAS represents a collaborative partnership between Arbor
Networks and its customers that delivers unmatched intelligence about
cyber-attacks around the world.
"What separates Arbor from other vendors is how we leverage our
pervasive service provider footprint to benefit all of our customers.
As the value and benefit of the ATLAS data set has become richer,
more customers have agreed to participate, which creates a virtuous
cycle and greater security intelligence for all," said Colin Doherty,
President of Arbor Networks. "Since 2009, we've seen a 3X increase in
the number of participants and a 14X increase in the amount of
Internet traffic monitored, totaling 43 Tbps of peak traffic today.
We're very proud of ATLAS, the value it brings customers and what it
says about their relationships with Arbor."
Unique Visibility Into the Global Threat Landscape
ATLAS utilizes
data from a global network of darknet honeypot sensors and the
malware / attack tool research undertaken by Arbor's Security
Engineering & Response Team (ASERT), combined with information
derived from the traffic monitoring and threat detection systems of
250+ participating service providers around the world. From this
unique vantage point, Arbor is ideally positioned to deliver
intelligence about distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), malware and
botnets that threaten Internet infrastructure, network availability
and business asset security. Arbor customers enjoy the considerable
competitive advantage of having both a micro view of their own
network, combined with a macro view of global Internet traffic -- a
powerful combination of network security intelligence that is
unrivaled today.
Customer Benefits: What You Can't See Can Hurt You
What makes ATLAS
so valuable to customers is that not only does Arbor provide
visibility about the traffic and threats on their networks, but it
can also provide broader visibility across the overall Internet
threat landscape. After all, in order to defend against threats, you
must be able to see them.
All types of network operators, whether enterprises, governments or
service providers, can stay abreast of the latest threats by
leveraging the ATLAS threat analysis and expertise of ASERT. This
security intelligence is core to Arbor's products via the AIF (ATLAS
Intelligence Feed) and ATF (Active Threat Feed). The use of these
feeds keeps the products updated with the latest threat intelligence,
enabling customers to quickly stop DDoS attacks and detect advanced
threats before they impact critical business services.
Frost & Sullivan/Stratecast White Paper: Defeating Cyber Threats
Requires a Wider Net
Arbor announced today the availability of a new
white paper from Frost & Sullivan/Stratecast that provides an
overview of ATLAS, and details why carriers and enterprises should
participate in the ATLAS initiative; and, by association, why
enterprises should take note of participating service providers when
making their service selections.
"Arbor Networks has established services derived from years of
practice in traffic collection, threat analysis and prevention. Our
position is that a structured, worldwide, community-supported
approach to threat analysis and response is fundamentally essential.
The diversity, morphing velocity and sophistication of emerging
threats calls for nothing less than a complete and real-time
assessment of all battleground fronts. ATLAS has the carrier and
enterprise relationship scale, expertise of ASERT and experience to
support such an effort," said Michael Suby, Director of Stratecast.
