NetScout Systems has announced new AI-backed enhancements to its NetScout Arbor Edge Defense and NetScout Arbor Enterprise Manager Adaptive Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) solution to help customers further automate operations, enhance defence, and improve reporting.
The Arbor Edge Defense and Arbor Enterprise Manager solution use the Atlas Intelligence Feed, derived from monitoring over 700 Tbps of Internet traffic in real-time across over 500 ISPs and 2 000 enterprise sites from over 100 countries, representing approximately 50% of global Internet activity at any given time. AI/ML algorithms run in the Atlas cloud infrastructure as part of a unique data collection and analysis pipeline that delivers actionable intelligence to NetScout solutions that are constantly updated.
Atlas Intelligence Feed fuels all Arbor DDoS protection products with intelligence on devices that are actively conducting DDoS attacks or are a part of specific DDoS attack infrastructures and botnets. This allows up to 80% of all DDoS attacks to be mitigated without the need for further analysis.
New enhancements to the Arbor Edge Defense and Arbor Enterprise Manager solution include new features to support deployment in demanding multi-site enterprise environments, and further automate the mitigation of sophisticated DDoS attacks:
- Strengthened data segmentation through scoped user access that allows administrators to limit the visibility of specific operations teams to specific defended locations and infrastructures.
- Automated IP protocol flooding detection and mitigation to block these evolving attacks when they occur.
- Enhanced DDoS dashboard that provides more detailed information, enabling even greater visibility and control for operations teams, even when defences are automated.
- On-demand, automated reportsease the flow of information across security teams and their management.
