NETSCOUT Closes Critical CDN Security Gap to Safeguard Essential Digital Services
Enhanced Arbor Edge Defense Identifies Attack Sources Hidden Behind CDN Proxies
NETSCOUT® (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, today announced enhancements to its Arbor Edge Defense (AED) solution that helps enterprises maintain the availability of revenue-generating and mission-critical applications against sophisticated DDoS attacks that evade or bypass content delivery network (CDN) DDoS defenses. The enhancements identify malicious sources concealed behind shared CDN infrastructure and apply precise, service-specific countermeasures to block attacks without denying access to legitimate customers using the same CDN.
“Cybercriminals launch DDoS attacks for many reasons, but the ultimate outcome is to drain the targeted organization's resources,” said Christopher Rodriguez, research director, security and trust, IDC. “These attacks pose significant operational and financial risk because adversaries can target multiple layers of an organization’s infrastructure and rapidly shift attack methods. Effective DDoS defense must be dynamic, highly performant, and broad enough to protect critical services across the attack surface.”
