Overview

Stop DDoS Attacks with Automated Artificial-Intelligence Backed Technology and Unparalleled Global Threat Intelligence

DDoS attacks continue to be the easiest and least expensive method for bad actors to cripple your organization by negatively impacting your network’s availability to users and customers. Whats new is complex multi-vector attacks and probing activity that manifest as nuisance outages or mysterious application downtime and are designed to evade existing defenses including upstream protections. To address these DDoS threats, security teams need solutions that can identify and mitigate attacks of any size and duration automatically without impacting legitimate traffic and organization productivity.

NETSCOUT Arbor Edge Defense® (AED) is uniquely positioned on the network edge (i.e., between the internet router and the firewall) to provide inline, always-on, DDoS protection. To leverage this unique and valuable position, AED uses Artificial Intelligence driven packet analysis, decades of DDoS protection and mitigation expertise to stop all DDoS attacks automatically.
