Carrier-Grade Service Provider DDoS Protection That Drives New Revenue

Service providers face shrinking connectivity margins while customers demand higher speeds and always-on security and availability. At the same time, large-scale, multi-vector DDoS attacks threaten core infrastructure, broadband, mobile, DNS, and other customer services, putting SLAs and revenue at risk.

Defending against these attacks is no longer optional. It must be scalable, automated, and carrier-grade. Forward-looking providers are transforming Service Provider DDoS Protection into Managed DDoS Protection Services, turning network defense into a differentiated, recurring revenue opportunity while reducing churn and operational risk.

NETSCOUT Arbor DDoS protection is a proven platform that enables service providers to protect their own networks and services while monetizing DDoS protection as a managed service.
