Q: How do you protect your network infrastructure and customers from threats?

A: By using Arbor Peakflow SP for threat detection, surgical mitigation and reporting.

Network security threats are a fact of life for today’s Internet service providers (ISPs) and global enterprises. Hackers can now transform legions of unsecured home computers into massive botnet armies with the firepower to disable enterprise networks and disrupt converged data and voice services. Network operators must detect and mitigate such network-wide threats before they impact critical business services and applications while keeping a watchful eye on the bottom line. What’s needed is a single solution that can reduce churn by proactively blocking these threats – and increase revenue by enabling the delivery of profitable new services.

Arbor Peakflow SP – A Comprehensive Threat Management Solution
The Arbor Peakflow SP solution is a comprehensive threat management system that offers multiple methods of attack detection and mitigation such as:

• Access control lists (ACLs).
• BGP black-hole routing.
• BGP flow-spec.
• Attack fingerprint sharing.
• Support for other third-party packet scrubbing products.

Surgical Mitigation
To reduce collateral damage, service providers often shut down all traffic destined for the victim’s site—thus completing the DDoS attack. The combination of Arbor Peakflow SP and the Arbor Peakflow SP Threat Management System (TMS) device allows network operators to detect and surgically remove only the attack traffic while maintaining the legitimate business traffic. After the attack has been thwarted, they can easily produce reports that summarize the mitigation process for customers and/or management.
