Deterministically Accurate, Actionable Threat Intelligence at a Global Scale
As cyber threats continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, mature security teams will not only rely upon the latest cyber security technology but also highly curated threat intelligence that arms these products. NETSCOUT’s unmatched monitoring of over 50% of all internet traffic, our AI powered analysis processes and the expertise of NETSCOUT’s ASERT Team, have enabled NETSCOUT to produce more deterministically accurate and actionable threat intelligence in real-time. This actionable intelligence is published via the ATLAS Intelligence Feed and automatically arms all NETSCOUT Arbor DDoS attack protection products with the latest DDoS attack tactics and methodologies, known sources of DDoS attacks and Indicators of Compromise so organizations can protect themselves from DDoS attacks and other cyber threats and automatically adapt protections as those attacks change vectors.
Benefits
Automated Threat Intelligence to Enhance Inbound DDoS Attack Mitigation
Protect the availability of networks and services by updating AED with the highly curated threat intelligence that enables it to block inbound DDoS attacks automatically and with accuracy.
Automated Threat Intelligence to Enhance Blocking of Inbound Scanning or Brute Force Attacks
Reduce load on firewalls by automatically offloading monitoring and blocking of inbound scanning activity and brute force password attacks (e.g. SSH, telnet, SMB, etc.) to AED.
Automated Threat Intelligence to Enhance Blocking of Outbound IoCs Missed by Security Stack
AED’s deployment outside the firewall and the automated update of IoCs for the ATLAS Intelligence Feed, enable it to be a last line of defense by blocking outbound traffic from compromised internal devices to external malicious command and control infrastructure that have been missed by the security stack.
Automated Threat Intelligence Improves Adaptive DDoS Protection
Adaptive DDoS Protection or ADP is an added layer of protection that employs an automated artificial intelligence driven analysis process that detects evolving attacks that are not blocked by current countermeasures within Arbor Edge Defense (AED). It then creates recommendations within Arbor Enterprise Manager (AEM) for changes in countermeasures and configurations to block these newly detected attacks. These recommendations can also be set to automatically mitigate these new attacks. This repeating process is driven by the unmatched Threat Intelligence provided by the ATLAS Intelligence Feed.

Unmatched, Artificial Intelligence Backed Threat Intelligence
Defending your network against DDoS attacks requires actionable threat intelligence that automatically adapts defenses to the ever-changing attackers' tactics and techniques. NETSCOUT's advantage is our superior ATLAS global DDoS attack visibility system, which utilizes AI to automatically update the ATLAS Intelligence Feed, equipping AED with the latest DDoS attack protection intelligence.
