Arbor Networks announces multi-terabit mitigation capacity expansion for Arbor Cloud DDoS protection service
The theme for DDoS attacks in 2014 has been very large attacks, enabled by the reflection/amplification capabilities within such disparate network infrastructure components as Domain Name Servers (DNS) and Network Time Protocol (NTP).
Arbor’s ATLAS threat monitoring infrastructure collects data from over 300 service providers and other Internet operators, totaling an astounding 90Tbps of global traffic intelligence.
According to ATLAS, there were more than one hundred separate DDoS attacks larger than 100Gbps in the first half of 2014.
“The trend is clear, and very large attacks are here to stay. Attacks tools are readily available making these attacks easy to execute. This equates to a significant risk for any potential target, be they an enterprise or an ISP. Because we are the manufacturer of the DDoS equipment, we are able to scale the mitigation capacity of Arbor Cloud very quickly. With this capacity expansion program in place, Arbor Cloud customers are assured that we have the mitigation infrastructure available to meet their needs well into the future,” said Arbor Networks President Matthew Moynahan.
