Arbor Networks Further Automates DDoS Attack Mitigation for MSSPs and Enterprise CustomersArbor Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT), announced a new version of its on-premise, always-on, inline distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) detection and mitigation platform for enterprise customers, Arbor Networks APS™. Arbor APS v5.11 includes new features designed to ease the management of multiple APS devices and reduce the time to attack mitigation via improvements to its powerful and unique Cloud Signaling capability. "Cloud Signaling has been a key innovation in enabling the industry-wide adoption of hybrid, or multi-layer DDoS defense as a best practice. Arbor understands the threat landscape and created an elegant way of linking on-premise and cloud-based mitigation. This tight connection is key to delivering protection from today's advanced DDoS attacks," said Rob Ayoub, research director in IDC's (News - Alert) Security Products program. As DDoS attacks continue to dramatically rise in size, frequency and complexity, automation has become increasingly critical to protecting the network against these attacks. Arbor's Cloud Signaling capability automates key aspects of DDoS defense, tightly integrating on-premise and cloud-based mitigation. The fidelity of Arbor Cloud Signaling has been further enhanced as locally configured blacklists/whitelists on the Arbor APS are now embedded in the Cloud Signaling communication. "Automation is a top priority for most organizations today. From a security perspective, that means they're stretched thin, using too many tools, chasing too many threats, with too little context. Arbor is really focused on being an operational asset for our customers by delivering solutions that help scale teams, enable faster time to mitigation, and automate as many processes as possible without sacrificing effectiveness," said Tom Lyons, Arbor's vice president of product management. The Arbor DDoS attack protection solution delivers intelligent integration between on-premises and in-cloud DDoS attack protection, backed by threat intelligence via the ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF). Developed by Arbor's Security Engineering and Response Team (ASERT), the AIF includes geolocation data and automates the identification of attacks against infrastructure and services from known botnets and malware while ensuring that updates for new threats are automatically delivered without software upgrades.

Automating Key and Certificate Operations with Venafi "Sophisticated DDoS attacks are using the cloak of encryption to go undetected," said Kevin Bocek, VP security strategy at Venafi. "With Arbor Networks (News - Alert) integration now available for the Venafi Platform, customers can maximize visibility into encrypted traffic and protect themselves faster from DDoS attacks quickly becoming the norm. Protection is maintained with the help of Venafi continuously automating the entire SSL/TLS key and certificate lifecycle so Arbor Networks systems have the most current set of machine identities to perform inspection."
