Arbor Networks, a leading provider of DDoS and advanced threat protection solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, announced today that Network Products Guide, the industry's leading technology research and advisory guide, has chosen, for the second consecutive year, Arbor Networks as a Gold winner for Best Overall IT Company at the 10th Annual IT World Awards. Additionally, Arbor's Pravail® Availability Protection System was named Gold winner for Security Hardware, and the Arbor Pravail® Security Analytics solution won Bronze for Insider Threat Detection.

"To be recognized as Best Overall IT Company for a second consecutive year is a tremendous accomplishment for our team. It speaks to their dedication to solving complex customer challenges, their focus on innovation and to each other," said Arbor Networks (News - Alert) president Matthew Moynahan. "Not only was the organization recognized for overall excellence, Arbor's entire portfolio was recognized as well. While we're best known for market leading DDoS solutions, we have also brought to market powerful solutions for enterprise advanced threat detection."

Gold Award: Best Overall IT Company of the Year

Arbor leverages its unique customer footprint and experience working with the world's most demanding network operators to develop more enduring security solutions for the threats faced by enterprises. Arbor does this by focusing on the networks themselves, rather than just specific threats or points in the network.

Arbor customers gain a micro view of their own network, through our suite of products, combined with a macro view of global Internet traffic and emerging threats, through our ATLAS threat intelligence infrastructure. ATLAS collects up to 120Tbps of global Internet traffic from over 330 service provider customers-enabling Arbor to provide a comprehensive, aggregated view of global traffic and threats. Protections are delivered directly into Arbor's solutions to stop DDoS attacks and malware campaigns. This is a powerful combination of network security intelligence that is unrivaled today.

Gold Award: Security Hardware - Pravail Availability Protection System

The Pravail Availability Protection System is the first on-premise security product focused on securing the network perimeter from threats against availability- specifically, application-layer DDoS attacks. Pupose built for the enterprise, the Pravail Availability Protection System delivers out of the box, proven attack identification and mitigation capabilities that can be rapidly deployed with little configuration, even during an attack. In addition to its on-premise protection, the Pravail Availability Protection System allows organizations that are experiencing a DDoS attack to alert their ISPs or cloud providers to the attack and provide salient details that can assist the providers in blocking the attack upstream.

Bronze: Insider Threat Detection Solutions - Pravail Security Analytics

The Pravail Security Analytics platform enables organizations to deal with advanced threats by offering an unprecedented and detailed view of the attacks in any captured network traffic. It allows security analysts to assess an organization's security posture at a glance, displaying attack trends and severity across long periods of time. Powerful visualizations display the data from multiple perspectives (attacker, target, location or attack type) enabling the analyst to quickly compare attack statistics from different periods or locations, over years or terabytes of traffic. Once an indicator of compromise has been identified, Pravail Security Analytics provides the analyst with actionable intelligence, allowing confirmation of the exact details and extent of the attack. Further, Pravail Security Analytics provides a look back in time, re-evaluating existing data with new attack information to ensure a complete picture of compromise.
