Netscout Launches Arbor Edge Defense for Enterprise DDoS Security

Netscout Systems announced its Arbor Edge Defense security system on Oct. 23, providing organizations with automated inbound and outbound protection against threats. The AED technology, which Netscout is positioning as a stateless technology that blocks cyber-threats, is deployed at the perimeter of an enterprise network. AED also provides distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection for attacks of up to 40 Gbps in bandwidth volume. Additionally, AED is capable of blocking threats that emanate from inside an enterprise, such as botnet traffic and connections to known bad URLs.
