Arbor Networks Introduces 10 Gig Threat Management System

Arbor Networks, a provider of secure service control solutions for global business networks, has announced a 10 Gig Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) detection and mitigation system that enables application-layer attack protection. The Threat Management System 3100 (TMS) delivers Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) of more than 80 critical IP services and applications running on the network, such as DNS, HTTP, VoIP, IM and P2P, while also delivering application-layer attack detection, surgical mitigation and reporting. This combination will allow service providers to maintain availability, reduce support costs and optimise current or future business services.

“We spent a great deal of time on this release improving workflow, reporting and developing one-click mitigation capabilities,” said Rob Malan, Arbor’s co-founder and chief technology officer. “This release addresses the 10 Gig market, while also improving the operational benefits of the overall TMS platform.”

By tightly integrating TMS into the Peakflow SP platform, Arbor Networks has managed to deliver a solution that combines network-wide anomaly detection and traffic engineering with carrier-class threat management that automatically detects and surgically removes any attack traffic while maintaining legitimate business traffic. Additionally, TMS complements Peakflow SP’s other mitigation techniques, including fingerprint sharing, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) black-hole routing, BGP flow-spec and support for other mitigation technologies.

TMS streamlines operations and speeds reaction time by providing users with a single console and common user interface for thwarting multiple attacks. In addition, TMS can reduce operating expenses through simplified provisioning and uncomplicated on-going maintenance. As a result, it can provide a much lower total cost of ownership than competitive solutions.
