The First and Last Line of Smart, Automated, Perimeter Defense
Arbor Edge Defense (AED) is an inline security appliance deployed at the network perimeter (i.e. between the internet router and firewall).
AED’s unique position on the network edge, its stateless packet processing engine and the continuous reputation-based threat intelligence it receives from NETSCOUT’s ATLAS Threat Intelligence feed enable it to automatically detect and stop both inbound threats and outbound communication from internal compromised hosts – essentially acting as the first and last line of defense for organizations.
Benefits
Be a First Line of Defense
by blocking inbound DDoS attacks to protect the availability of your network, services or stateful security devices (e.g. firewall).
Be a Last Line of Defense
by blocking outbound communication from compromised internal devices to attacker command and control (C2) infrastructure to stop the proliferation of attacker and malware within your organizations and ultimately avoid a data breach.
Integrate
AED’s use of standards such as STIX/TAXII, SYSLOG (CEF, LEEF), a REST API and its ability to provide more context to blocked IoCs via ATLAS Threat intelligence enable it to become a fully integrated component of your existing security stack and process.
Defense at the Network Edge
Deployed in between the firewall and internet router, and using highly scalable stateless packet processing technology, Arbor Edge Defense acts as a network perimeter threat intelligence enforcement point where it blocks in bulk, inbound cyber threats (e.g. DDoS attacks, IOCs) and outbound malicious communication - essentially acting as the first and last line of perimeter defense for an organization.
Features
Because AED can stop all types of DDoS attacks, it should be deployed in front of your firewalls to protect them and the services behind them from DDoS attacks.
When DDoS attacks are larger than the internet circuit, AED’s Cloud Signaling will automatically route traffic to a cloud-based scrubbing center such as Arbor Cloud for attack mitigation.
Armed with threat intelligence from NETSCOUT’s ATLAS or 3rd parties, AED can act as a “last line of defense” to stop outbound IoCs from compromised internal devices before the data breach occurs.
AED’s support for common protocols and APIs enable it to easily become part of your security stack and process.
