 "Arbor Networks' Peakflow SP 5.0 For Automated Threat Detection, Mitigation")
Arbor Networks has announced the availability of version 5.0 of Arbor Peakflow SP, a network-wide infrastructure security and traffic-monitoring platform. Peakflow SP now includes ATLAS-enabled fingerprint creation, alerting and mitigation; deeper visibility into the performance and security of business critical applications; and enhanced reporting capabilities that allow service providers to analyse traffic to and from peers, by markets and by geography.
In Peakflow SP 5.0, information is aggregated, analysed and fed back to customers via Fingerprints, or network behavioral patterns of attacks. The combination of ATLAS data and Fingerprints provides much finer detection of threats such as botnet command and control (C&C) sit es, phishing sites, worms and more.
Additional threat detection and mitigation capabilities include- Real-Time Mitigation Dashboard and Unified Alerting and Workflow. “Peakflow SP 5.0 raises the bar for service provider security by leveraging the global insight of Arbor’s ATLAS Internet monitoring system and its Active Threat Feed (ATF) based fingerprints to automate both detection and mitigation of today’s most sophisticated threats,” said Danny McPherson, Arbor Networks’ CIO. “This release also enhances service visibility, monitoring and protection, enabling providers to define triple-play services within Peakflow SP for security, performance and growth monitoring, and to protect critical infrastructure like Domain Name System (DNS) servers. Peakflow SP is a robust platform that delivers incredible return on investment to network operators around the world via critical infrastructure protection, operational cost savings and enhanced revenue generation.”
