Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Arbor Networks as a Market Leader in the DDoS Mitigation Products IndustryArbor's portfolio of mitigation products answers the challenge of dynamic DDoS threats at a value-added cost SANTA CLARA, California, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) mitigation products industry, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Arbor Networks with the 2017 Global Market Leadership Award for its product solutions in this space. Arbor Networks was founded in 2000, and as of 2016, held a 61% market share in the DDoS mitigation products market. Arbor was acquired in 2015 by NetScout Systems, making Arbor Networks the official security division of NetScout. DDoS attacks have emerged as one of the top concerns of the digital transformation era. Digital transformation describes the global trend of smart devices, hyper-connectivity, and Big Data and analytics that will usher in vast public economic and social benefits. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one aspect of this new world, where all manner of consumer devices, industrial systems, and communications systems are interconnected, interoperable, and able to intercommunicate without any need for human intervention. "As the threat from DDoS attacks rise, the need for mitigation products has also risen. However, because attackers are constantly modifying their strategies and refining their techniques, end users need mitigation solutions that can adapt within this dynamic environment," said Senior Industry Analyst Chris Rodriguez. "While DDoS threat protection is vital for companies today, customers are concerned about cost versus value. Arbor Networks recognizes this and offers updated pricing models, deployment flexibility, and fully managed services to meet these value-centric concerns. The company has also virtualized its entire DDoS portfolio for support of customer SDN and NFV environments, introduced low-cost appliances, and new virtual solutions that start at sub-100Mb capacity," said Rodriguez. Arbor Networks' diverse and comprehensive DDoS mitigation portfolio solutions include:
Arbor Networks has firmly established itself as the DDoS mitigation products market leader by delivering a robust and integrated portfolio of products, services, and features. Furthermore, the company's attention to customer value and a clear strategy to mitigate future attacks indicates the company's staying power as the leading provider of DDoS mitigation products. For these reasons, Arbor Networks has earned Frost & Sullivan's 2017 Global Market Leadership Award. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies.
