Arbor APS v5.11 DDoS platform presents new features
Arbor Networks announced the new version of its on-premise inline distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) detection and mitigation platform for enterprises.
Features of Arbor APS v5.11 are designed to ease the management of multiple APS devices and reduce the time to attack mitigation via improvements to its powerful and unique Cloud Signaling capability.
“Arbor understands the threat landscape and created an elegant way of linking on-premise and cloud-based mitigation. This tight connection is key to delivering protection from today’s advanced DDoS attacks,” said Rob Ayoub, research director in IDC’s Security Products program.
Arbor’s Cloud Signaling capability automates key aspects of DDoS defense, tightly integrating on-premise and cloud-based mitigation. The fidelity of Arbor Cloud Signaling has been further enhanced as locally configured blacklists/whitelists on the Arbor APS are now embedded in the Cloud Signaling communication.
“Arbor is really focused on being an operational asset for our customers by delivering solutions that help scale teams, enable faster time to mitigation, and automate as many processes as possible without sacrificing effectiveness,” said Tom Lyons, Arbor’s vice president of product management.
Arbor DDoS attack protection solution delivers intelligent integration between on-premises and in-cloud DDoS attack protection, backed by threat intelligence via the ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF).
The AIF includes geolocation data and automates the identification of attacks against infrastructure and services from known botnets and malware while ensuring that updates for new threats are automatically delivered without software upgrades.
