Smarter Visibility and DDoS Attack Defense

Sightline with Sentinel integrates network infrastructure defense functionality and orchestrated mitigation support to deliver unparalleled protection at a lower cost than any other solution.

Sightline with Sentinel understands the capabilities of the routers within a multi-vendor infrastructure and uses these capabilities in combination with Arbor Threat Mitigation System (TMS) to orchestrate defense to automatically mitigate any DDoS attack, regardless of size and complexity, with detailed reporting provided through a single pane of glass user-interface. An inter-provider signaling function allows network operators to share attack data and proactively coordinate automated DDoS protection, stopping them nearer to their source.

Benefits

Smarter Mitigation Visibility

Complete visibility into any and all mitigations across the network.

Smarter Protection

Intelligently orchestrate multiple methods of mitigating multi-vector DDoS attacks

Intelligent Automated DDoS Protection

Reacts to attacks more quickly and reduces operational overhead, while providing full feedback and visibility.

Smarter DDoS equals Smart Protection

Smarter Mitigation Visibility

As mitigation is spread across the network, comprehensive reporting becomes increasingly important.
Orchestration Mitigation Support

Intelligently orchestrating the entire network to help with mitigating DDoS attacks, automatically.
Inter-Provider Signaling

Communicate and share attack data upstream to mitigate attacks closer to the attacker.

Smart Visibility Driving Smarter DDoS Defense

Sightline with Sentinel combines Flowspec and intelligent mitigation for full protection coverage and detailed per-attack Flowspec reports from your DDoS attack defense system.

See mitigations Per-Router, Per-Flowspec rule, all Source IPs, Source Countries, ports, protocols, etc. Understand Where, When, Why, and How much traffic is being dropped in the network.

Smarter Mitigation Visibility

As mitigation is spread across the network, comprehensive reporting becomes increasingly important.

Automated, Orchestrated Attack Mitigation

Arbor Sightline with Sentinel provides a unified view of all DDoS attack detection and mitigation activities across different network infrastructures.

With tight network integration, this operational efficiency permits fast threat response across the entire network infrastructure, providing scaled, automated DDoS protection at a low cost.

Orchestration Mitigation Support

Intelligently orchestrating the entire network to help with mitigating DDoS attacks, automatically.

With Sightline Signaling, organizations can share attack details and trigger mitigation upstream to service providers or peering partner.

This allows mitigation of the attack to occur closer to the source so that these upstream and peering links are not overloaded.

Inter-operator collaboration for mitigating DDoS attacks is now possible and assures better quality of service for the Internet.

Inter-Provider Signaling

Communicate and share attack data upstream to mitigate attacks closer to the attacker.

Revolutionizing The Fight Against DDoS Attacks

Managing today's and tomorrow's DDoS attacks effectively and efficiently requires an integrated approach to attack mitigation. An automated, orchestrated combination of the best mitigation mechanisms for a given attack in a given environment, leveraging intelligent and network infrastructure capabilities, and cooperation across network boundaries. All with full visibility through a single-pane-of-glass.

Arbor Sightline with Sentinel uses NETSCOUT Smart Data to deliver Smart Visibility, application, and service layer visibility that drives automated detection of a broader range of DDoS and botnet threats in terabit scale networks. NETSCOUT ATLAS provides unique intelligence into the global threat landscape, allowing organizations to better defend their networks, services, and customers.

These unique capabilities combined revolutionize how DDoS attacks are mitigated.
