NETSCOUT Extends Adaptive DDoS Defense Protection to Address the Rising Business Cost of Weaponized Broadband and IoT Devices<\/b><\/p>\n

New Automated Outbound Protection Helps Service Providers Reduce Network Disruption, Infrastructure Costs and Internet-Wide Risk<\/i><\/p>\n

WESTFORD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nNETSCOUT\u00ae<\/sup> (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, today announced an extension of its Adaptive DDoS Protection (ADP) solution enabling service providers to automatically detect and mitigate outbound DDoS attack traffic. By extending protection from the attack target towards its source, NETSCOUT helps operators prevent compromised subscriber devices from disrupting their own networks, consuming costly capacity and attacking customers and organizations across the internet.<\/p>\n

\nConsumer broadband routers, cameras and other IoT devices are increasingly being weaponized by Turbo-Mirai class botnets capable of generating multi-terabit attacks. These outbound attacks have already caused costly service outages, reputational damage and customer loss, and damage to peering relationships risking a large increase in transit costs at service providers around the world. By detecting and mitigating malicious traffic generated by compromised device populations before it leaves their networks, service providers can reduce abuse complaints and infrastructure costs while protecting their own networks and services and helping lower subscriber churn and regulatory risk.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe combination of higher-speed broadband connectivity and vulnerable IoT devices has been weaponized by a new class of massive DDoS botnets,\u201d said Patrick Donegan, founder and principal analyst, HardenStance. \u201cSource-side mitigation, or attack suppression as it\u2019s sometimes known, is a critical part of the equation. NETSCOUT\u2019s approach, backed by its ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF) and ASERT analysts, gives service providers the tools they need to detect and stop attacks before they have an impact, protecting their customers and the broader internet from the large-scale DDoS attacks we have seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nUsing AI-powered threat intelligence and automated detection and mitigation, NETSCOUT\u2019s ADP solution, an addition to its Arbor Sightline<\/a> and Arbor Threat Mitigation System<\/a>:<\/p>\n
