Security expertise to defend against burgeoning Internet threats

The stakes are astronomically high for today's security response groups. With virulent attacks on the rise, these teams must work 24x7 to ensure business continuity by mounting an impenetrable defense of their global enterprise networks. Time is critical, resources are limited, and anxiety runs deep.

With the Arbor Security Engineering & Response Team (ASERT), enterprises gain the expertise needed to reinforce their overworked security response groups and optimize the defense of their entire network infrastructure. ASERT is a world-renowned group of security engineers and researchers dedicated to monitoring Internet threats on a 24x7 basis. By creating "fingerprints" that profile emerging threats at their earliest stage (even before signatures are created), ASERT lets you detect and mitigate DDoS attacks, worms and other security hazards long before they impact business service availability and integrity. With ASERT as a resource, your team can also work more productively by focusing on the threats that pose the greatest immediate danger to your business.

Clear fingerprints of emerging security threats

 ASERT's fingerprint development process begins with cutting-edge security analysis. The group mines and correlates up-to-the-minute global security data – continually analyzing it to detect and qualify developing Internet threats. This data is derived from Arbor's globally deployed sensor network called the Active Threat Level Analysis System (ATLAS), as well as from service providers, enterprises and third-party sources. Unlike other security groups, ASERT tracks and identifies network-level threats in real-time using behavioral anomaly detection.

Active Threat Feed (ATF) early-warning system

Active Threat Feed (ATF) is Arbor's subscription service for distributing fingerprints, along with detailed information and mitigation strategies to thwart attacks. ATF is the industry’s only global, 24x7 subscription-based behavioral fingerprint service. It provides real-time threat detection by feeding fingerprints directly to customer-deployed Peakflow platforms. These fingerprints inspect network traffic flows and classify seemingly unrelated events as a composite threat – enabling security administrators to instantly identify worms, botnets and malware at a glance.

The best-of-the-best in network security

ASERT engineers represent the best-of-the-best in the field of information security. They have spent years working on vulnerability and exploit research, host-based intrusion prevention system (IPS) development, network intrusion detection system (IDS) signature development, and malicious code reverse engineering. Today, ASERT is defining the state-of-the-art in information security – continually developing innovative solutions and processes to solve tomorrow’s largest network security challenges.
