Inc, a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, today introduced a new solution in its Pravail portfolio for enterprise and government network operators Pravail Network Security Intelligence NSI monitors network traffic data and uses advanced analytics to help organizations close the security gaps left by firewalls and intrusion prevention systems IPS It looks inside the network and delivers the situational awareness required to identify advanced threats, internal network misuse or abuse, and also infected mobile devices connected to the network With the release of Pravail NSI, Arbor has created a platform for delivering actionable security intelligence that is critical for identifying and stopping attacks Arbor's Pravail family also includes the Availability Protection System APS , which looks out from the network perimeter to detect and mitigate, in real-time, application-layer DDoS attacks These stealthy attacks are the primary threat to security infrastructure solutions today which, if compromised, can threaten the very availability of networks themselves Pravail NSI leverages Arbor's threat detection technology which has been deployed in enterprise networks since 2003 The threat landscape has changed dramatically in the past two or three years, let alone over the past decade Pravail NSI extends those capabilities to address an acute concern for businesses today, the damage to the bottom line and brand integrity that can come from an undetected advanced or insider threat, said Arbor Networks President Colin Doherty According to Gartner analyst John Pescatore in a report titled Strategies for Dealing with Advanced Targeted Threats, targeted attacks are penetrating standard levels of security controls and causing significant business damage to enterprises that do not evolve their security controls Gartner estimates that, for the average enterprise, 4pourcents to 8pourcents of executables that pass through antivirus and other defenses are malicious Enterprises need to focus on reducing vulnerabilities and increasing monitoring capabilities to deter or more quickly react to evolving threats, and not focus on what country the attacks are coming from Pravail NSI offers a comprehensive view of all activities occurring in, on and around the network including Bring Your Own Devices BYOD that are accessing corporate resources, botnet communication and application misuse Using Pravail NSI, IT teams have the ability to Identify and address misuse of corporate resources and servers Detect and defend against advanced threats including malware and botnets Monitor critical services and systems and alert to suspicious activities that put data at risk Remove infected hosts on the network Monitor network activity of trusted users and identify suspicious activity associate user ID to all network activity Identify new devices on the network Leverage detailed intelligence from inside the network into users, applications, services, domains and URLs The ATLAS Advantage Global Intelligence, Automated Threat Protection Arbor's Peakflow traffic management and network security

CHELMSFORD, MA-- Marketwire - Oct 2, 2012 - Arbor Networks, Inc, a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, today announced that UK-based Managed Security Services Provider MSSP RedSpam, has selected Arbor's Pravail Availability Protection System APS for its new distributed denial-of-service DDoS managed service offering This exciting initiative builds upon the existing relationship between the two organizations, which sees the MSSP utilize Arbor Network's Peakflow SP for cloud-based DDoS mitigation for protection against volumetric DDoS attacks DDoS poses a significant threat to all businesses operating online -- with financial services companies, retailers and online gaming companies particularly vulnerable RedSpam's new managed service offering is designed to address this threat, by preventing malicious application-layer DDoS attacks from entering an organization's network or online trading infrastructure Application-layer DDoS attacks require on-premise protection because they generally consume little bandwidth and are stealthier in nature when compared to larger volumetric attacks that are best mitigated in the cloud However, low and slow application-layer attacks can have a similar impact to service as they target specific characteristics of well-known applications, such as HTTP, DNS, VoIP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol SMTP Arbor's technology, coupled with RedSpam's fixed pricing model -- based on each user's traffic profile and a pay-as-you-grow approach -- makes it a compelling service for companies who want to protect themselves from DDoS attacks that are causing damage to so many brands in the market today Furthermore, the on-premise design eliminates the need for specialist expertise and further investment in hardware purchases DDoS poses a huge threat to businesses operating in today's market -- not just in terms of lost revenue, but also brand and reputation damage, said Rob Harrison, Director of RedSpam RedSpam's managed solution and innovative pricing model, incorporating Arbor Networks' technology, enable companies to achieve multi-layered protection from both volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks Arbor has been working with service providers and enterprises around the world for more than a decade to protect against DDoS attacks This is not a problem that can be adequately addressed by products that claim DDoS mitigation as a feature among many, said Darren Anstee, Global Team Lead, Solutions Architects, Arbor Networks With Pravail APS, we are giving enterprises the ability to protect themselves with the same technology that has supported some of the world's largest and most complex networks World Leader in DDoS Prevention Arbor

17:18:46 - Arbor Networks Arbor Networks - CHELMSFORD, MA-- Marketwire - Sep 25, 2012 - Arbor Networks, Inc, a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, and Alcatel-Lucent EURONEXT PARIS ALU NYSE ALU , are pleased to announce the establishment of a new Proof of Concept POC Laboratory in Singapore for communications service providers to conduct testing of technologies to mitigate distributed denial of service DDoS attacks Earlier this year, Arbor Networks and Alcatel-Lucent announced the integration of Arbor's Threat Management System TMS DDoS mitigation software into the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router SR family in order to help communications service providers counter the growing threat of DDoS attacks and ensuring the integrity of their networks and cloud services By integrating Arbor's TMS software into Alcatel-Lucent's IP routers -- wherever they are located in a given network -- attacks can be detected and dealt with at the edge of the cloud, closer to the location of the attack, which is a much more effective and less costly approach In addition to making service providers' cloud networks and services more resilient, this new solution also enables them to offer a cloud-based service to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks on the networks of their enterprise customers This represents a lucrative revenue opportunity because many businesses do not have the in-house ability or resources to keep up with this rapidly escalating threat Service providers can deliver denial-of-service 'scrubbing' as a cloud-based service from the same platform as virtual private network VPN and business Internet services, with minimal incremental investment The POC Laboratory gives customers the ability to see live demonstrations of this integrated technology, as well as to test various DDoS attacks and techniques, allowing customers to conduct POC trials to better understand the technologies and best practices for DDoS mitigation Kent Wong, VP of IP Sales Support Center, Asia Pacific with Alcatel-Lucent said DDoS attacks are a growing problem for service providers and enterprises alike Our partnership with Arbor Networks opens up a number of deployment scenarios and network configuration options for our customers Given the interest we have seen in this integrated solution, we see the test lab as an important tool to help customers understand what this integration means and how they can benefit from it in practice Attley Ng, VP and GM for Asia Pacific with Arbor Networks, said This is a first-of-its-kind partnership for Arbor Networks and we are very pleased with the results so far Arbor has deep relationships with the service provider community and we understand the complex challenges they face, from securing their own networks, to delivering security services to protect their customer networks Bringing DDoS mitigation to the edge of the network gives providers greater flexibility to reduce transit costs and backhaul costs, as well as the ability to launch revenue-generating managed security services for enterprise customers World Leader in DDoS Prevention Arbor

Arbor Networks, Inc, a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, today announced that SK Telecom NYSE SKM , the largest mobile service provider in Korea, has selected Arbor s Peakflow SP platform in order to maintain the performance and availability of their mobile network and services In South Korea, SK Telecom is a leading wireless communications operator, serving more than 26 million subscribers SK Telecom is recognized as one of the most innovative technology companies in the telecom industry as it continues to invest in building its advanced mobile network, bringing more innovative services to customers Managing the rise in mobile data and signaling traffic due to the ever increasing usage of 3G and 4G devices such as smartphones and tablets and protecting their network from DDoS attacks and mobile application anomalies are just some of the many challenges SK Telecom faces on a daily basis We have seen Internet sourced DDoS attacks target our mobile network and service And lastly, we routinely see mobile application anomalies such as recovery storms, which aren t malicious in nature, but act like DDoS attacks on our mobile network In any case, this sort of activity puts additional traffic on an already stressed mobile network infrastructure Therefore it s vital that these attacks be detected and stopped as soon as possible before they impact our customer s quality of experience, said Kevin Hong, Senior Security manager SK Telecom As the amount of smart devices and mobile data traffic continues to rise worldwide, Mobile Network Operators can rely upon the Peakflow SP and TMS solution to detect and stop both malicious and non-malicious DDoS events before they impact the performance and availability of their mobile network and services SK Telecom recognizes these threats and is implementing solutions that ensure that their customers will have the dynamic user experience they have come to expect from such an innovative company as SK Telecom, said Attley Ng, Arbor Networks vice president for Asia Mobile Infrastructure Service Protection As mobile broadband networks become more like fixed broadband networks, mobile operators will undoubtedly experience the same threats to their mobile subscribers and infrastructure as fixed broadband operators For example, mobile application anomalies causing recovery or retry storms and Internet-sourced DDoS attacks that target specific mobile infrastructure ie SGSN, GGSN, DNS etc are starting to become more common And it s only a matter of time when mobile operators will be plagued with compromised infected mobile broadband subscribers that threaten and impact their mobile infrastructure and services Unfortunately many mobile operators are unsuccessfully relying upon traditional security devices such as firewalls to stop these threats Fortunately Arbor s Peakflow SP and Peakflow SP Threat Management System TMS is a comprehensive threat detection and mitigation solution that protects their mobile infrastructure and services from threats Backbone, Peering Transit Edge Visibility and Optimization SK Telecom has invested heavily into the access, backhaul and core of their mobile network By leveraging IP flow data ie Netflow, sFlow etc embedded in network backbone and peering transit edge routers, Peakflow SP

Networks' 450 customers include the vast majority of the world's service providers and many of the largest enterprise networks in use today According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled, DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as top supplier of DDoS prevention solutions overall as well as in the Carrier, Enterprise, Government and Mobile market segments Integrated DDoS Detection and Mitigation for Service Providers The vast majority of the world's leading service providers rely on Arbor's Peakflow SP platform to proactively fend off malicious threats such as botnets and volumetric and application-layer distributed denial of service DDoS attacks, while strengthening the availability and quality of their services The Peakflow SP platform includes two main components, Peakflow SP and the Threat Management System TMS Peakflow SP combines network-wide anomaly detection and traffic engineering with TMS' carrier-class threat

services remain available while providers actively mitigate attacks The Peakflow SP platform also powers many of the world's leading cloud-based DDoS managed security services Dynamic Threat Landscape DDoS Targeting Businesses of All Sizes With the rise of hacktivism in recent years, any enterprise operating online can become a target, because of who they are, what they sell or who they partner with The explosion of inexpensive and readily-accessible attack tools is enabling anyone to carry out DDoS attacks At the other end of the spectrum, commercial DDoS services are running full-steam, with a variety of service offerings available Botnets 'for hire' are springing up everywhere, and unskilled attackers are now able to hire botnet services for bargain-basement prices Just as an enterprise can subscribe to a technology provider or a cloud-based DDoS mitigation service, hacktivists can subscribe to a DDoS service to launch attacks Not only can potential customers test drive DDoS attack services before purchasing, they also can get discounts for multiple purchases Some services offer persistent attacks for as little as 1000 month This has profound implications for the threat landscape, risk profile, network architecture and security deployments for any business operating online today Availability and Investment Protection for the Enterprise Application-layer DDoS attacks require on-premise protection because they generally consume little bandwidth and are stealthier in nature when compared to flood-based attacks that are best mitigated in the cloud However, low and slow application-layer attacks can have a similar impact to service as they target specific characteristics of well-known applications such as HTTP, DNS, VoIP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol SMTP Arbor's Pravail Availability Protection System APS is the first on-premise security product focused on securing the enterprise perimeter from threats against availability -- specifically, protection against application-layer DDoS attacks What makes Arbor's approach to DDoS such an important solution for the enterprise is that it not only protects against availability threats such as application-layer DDoS attacks, it provides investment protection to existing security infrastructure For example, firewalls and IPS are designed for important security problems other than DDoS They were built to stop unauthorized access to critical resources, enforce corporate security policies and prevent data loss What's changed is that availability itself is now under assault and it requires a solution designed specifically for today's complex DDoS problem About Arbor Networks Arbor Networks, Inc is a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service

Networks, Inc, a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, today announced that they are a Platinum sponsor for the Internet Security Days 2012 ISD 2012 trade show and exhibition taking place in Bruehl, Germany on September 11-12, 2012 Arbor participated in the ISD 2011 and found it to be a very worthwhile event, bringing together leading technology vendors and enterprises concerned about a wide variety of security and networking issues, said Michael Tullius, Arbor Networks country manager in Germany For more than a dozen years Arbor has been focused on the DDoS problem, and we have closely tracked its evolution Today, any business operating online is a potential target of hackers We ve developed purpose-built solutions for enterprises of all sizes who are concerned with maintaining the availability of Internet assets, from networks to applications and services Dynamic Threat Landscape DDoS Targeting Businesses of All Sizes With the rise of hacktivism in recent years, any enterprise operating online can become a target, because of who they are, what they sell, who they partner with The explosion of inexpensive and readily-accessible attack tools is enabling anyone to carry out DDoS attacks At the other end of the spectrum, commercial DDoS services are running full-steam, with a variety of service offerings available Botnets for hire are springing up everywhere, and unskilled attackers are now able to hire botnet services for bargain-basement prices Just as an enterprise can subscribe to a technology provider or a cloud-based DDoS mitigation service, hacktivists can subscribe to a DDoS service to launch attacks Not only can potential customers test drive DDoS attack services before purchasing, they also can get discounts for multiple purchases Some services offer persistent attacks for as little as 1000 month This has profound implications for the threat landscape, risk profile, network architecture and security deployments for any business operating online today World Leader in DDoS Mitigation Arbor Networks 450 customers include the vast majority of the world's service providers and many of the largest enterprise networks in use today According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled, DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as top supplier of DDoS prevention solutions overall as well as in the Carrier, Enterprise, Government and Mobile market segments Availability Investment Protection for the Enterprise What makes Arbor s approach to DDoS such an important solution for the enterprise is that it not only protects against availability threats such as application-layer DDoS attacks, it provides investment protection to existing security infrastructure For example, firewalls and IPS are designed for important security problems other than DDoS They were built to stop unauthorized access to critical resources, enforce corporate security policies and prevent data loss What s changed is that availability itself is now under assault and it requires a solution designed specifically for today s complex DDoS problem

Mitigation Arbor Networks 450 customers include the vast majority of the world's service providers and many of the largest enterprise networks in use today According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled, DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as top supplier of DDoS prevention solutions overall as well as in the Carrier, Enterprise, Government and Mobile market segments Arbor s products are empowered with its ATLAS Intelligence Feed, which looks for new threats and automatically delivers threat updates to customers This insight is critical to security because botnets are constantly changing to thwart detection Arbor s ATLAS infrastructure combines a darknet sensor network with traffic data from more than 200 service provider customers around the world The dataset enables Arbor to have a unique, globally-scoped view of malicious traffic traversing the Internet Cloud Signaling Functionality In Action When an enterprise or data center operator discovers that he is under a service-disrupting DDoS attack, he can choose to mitigate the attack in the cloud through the Cloud Signaling system, simply by clicking on a drop down menu and triggering an alert to the service provider The proactive approach enables him to stay in control and maintain expertise in command of the event A volumetric DDoS attack congesting the upstream links would immediately diminish or disappear altogether from the data center s access links, and service availability would be protected Participation in the Cloud Signaling Coalition allows the service provider to provide differentiated managed security services, reduces the time to mitigation and increases the effectiveness of the response against DDoS threats, thus saving the customer from major operational expenses and helping to preserve their reputation Enterprise and managed services customers also benefit from real time monitoring of the attack mitigation, as well as granular post mortem reports with details of the attack and the steps taken by the service provider to mitigate the attack, helping to establish best practices Cloud Signaling Functionality A Faster, Automated Way to Prevent DDoS Attacks At the heart of Cloud Signaling functionality are Arbor Networks Peakflow SP and Pravail Availability Protection System APS solutions Peakflow SP powers many of the world s

JUNE 19, 2012 Arbor Networks Inc, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, announced today that Jaguar Network, a leading value-added hosting provider in France that operates 30 data centers around the world, has joined Arbor s Cloud Signaling Coalition The Cloud Signaling Coalition CSC is an innovative partnership between service providers, datacenter operators and enterprises with the mission to ensure the availability of their network infrastructure and speed time-to-mitigation for distributed denial of service DDoS attacks Hosting providers like Jaguar Network often have a higher risk of DDoS attack than stand-alone online businesses because hosting providers in effect aggregate the risk of all their customers An attack on one customer can affect others and potentially the entire hosting operation because of the heavy reliance on shared infrastructure The overall impact of a DDoS attack is a function of the time it takes to detect the attack, the time needed to mitigate it and the extent of service degradation both before and after mitigation The success of our business begins with the security and availability of the high-end services we offer, said Kevin Polizzi, CEO of Jaguar Network By selecting Arbor Networks, our customers know we take the issue of availability seriously We have chosen the world s leading DDoS mitigation vendor to protect our network and our customers assets Participating in Arbor s CloudSignaling Coalition is another way to demonstrate our commitment to leading-edge solutions World Leader in DDoS Mitigation Arbor Networks 450 customers include the vast majority of the world's ISPs and many of the largest enterprise networks in use today According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled, DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as the dominant leader for DDoS prevention overall as well as in the Carrier, Enterprise and Mobile market segments Cloud Signaling Functionality A Faster, Automated Way to Provide Comprehensive DDoS Mitigation At the heart of Cloud Signaling functionality are Arbor Networks Peakflow SP and Pravail Availability Protection System solutions Peakflow SP powers many of the world s leading cloud-based DDoS managed security services, while Arbor s Pravail Availability Protection System APS is an on-premise device that protects the enterprise perimeter against threats to availability specifically, protection against application-layer distributed denial of service DDoS attacks Cloud Signaling functionality is an efficient and integrated way of bridging the enterprise data center to the service provider cloud Cloud Signaling functionality connects the on-premise Pravail APS device with the cloud-based Peakflow SP solution, helping to ensure the availability of enterprise infrastructures and speed time-to-mitigation for DDoS attacks Arbor believes that the best way for enterprises, IDC and cloud operators to have optimal protection against DDoS attacks is through this combination of on-premise and in-cloud protection Cloud Signaling Technology How does it work When an enterprise or data center operator discovers that they are under a service-disrupting DDoS attack, they can choose to mitigate the attack in the cloud through the Cloud Signaling system, triggering a signal to upstream infrastructure of their service provider s network A volumetric DDoS attack congesting the upstream links would immediately diminish or disappear altogether from the data center s access links, and service availability would be protected Participation in the Cloud Signaling Coalition allows the service provider to provide differentiated managed security services, reduces the time to mitigation and increases the effectiveness of the response against DDoS threats, thus saving the customer from major operational expenses and helping to preserve their reputation Enterprise and managed services customers also benefit from real time monitoring of the attack mitigation, as well as granular post mortem reports with details of the attack and the steps taken by the service provider to mitigate the attack, keeping them in control and maintaining their expertise in command of the event About Arbor Networks Arbor Networks, Inc is a leading provider of

Networks, Inc, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for enterprise and carrier networks, announced today that it will participate in the Internet Society s World IPv6 Launch, providing global Internet traffic intelligence and monitoring of IPv6 adoption via its ATLAS infrastructure The data will be regularly updated on the Arbor blog as well on the Internet Society s measurement page beginning on June 6, 2012, the beginning of World IPv6 Launch On 6 June, the Internet and the world will take a giant leap in its ongoing evolution as, IPv6, the next generation Internet Protocol, is being enabled and kept on by default by more than 1500 websites, including 4 of the top 5 in the world, ISPs in 22 countries, and home router manufacturers This is a milestone for the global Internet As the successor to the current Internet Protocol, IPv4, IPv6 is critical to the Internet's continued growth as a platform for innovation and economic development, said Phil Roberts of The Internet Society Arbor s ability to monitor not just the initial pop in IPv6 traffic, but adoption, performance and security trends over time is very valuable to the community at large Since 2007, Arbor Networks has leveraged its ATLAS Internet infrastructure to develop a baseline of global IPv6 adoption ATLAS is a collaborative effort with 120 ISP customers who have agreed to share anonymous traffic data on an hourly basis, totally 24Tbps Together with data from Arbor s dark address monitoring probes, as well as third-party and other data feeds, this unique vantage point enables Arbor to be ideally positioned to deliver intelligence about global IPv6 adoption Earlier this year, Arbor released its 7th annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report based on the data from ATLAS as well as customer surveys The report data indicated a major IPv6 milestone - for the first time, respondents to the survey reported distributed denial of service DDoS attacks on their IPv6 networks While the frequency of attacks is relatively modest on IPv6 today, Arbor expects that accelerated adoption will be followed by an accelerated pace of attacks The first DDoS attacks against IPv6 networks is in some ways a sign that the technology has arrived, said Scott Iekel Johnson, product manager at Arbor Networks From a security perspective, the issue of IPv6 visibility becomes even more important Just as on IPv4 networks, it is hard to defend against what you can t see Arbor has been early in delivering IPv6 enabled solutions and the time is now for other vendors to do the same so there is feature parity across the entire network infrastructure About the Internet Society The Internet Society is the trusted independent source for Internet information and thought leadership from around the world With its principled vision and substantial technological foundation, the Internet Society promotes open dialogue on Internet policy, technology, and future development among users,

attacks on data center operations and services have become both highly sophisticated yet easy to perpetrate As a result, enterprises, hosting providers and cloud service providers are experiencing DDoS attacks on their data centers more frequently and with more severe business consequences than ever before As its name implies, DDoS attacks are an attack on service availability Their goal is to prevent the data center from functioning whether that is transacting ecommerce delivering email, voice, or DNS services providing Web access or offering other business-critical services The consequences can be enormous to the bottom line and the brand How much will it cost your business if data centers or services go down for an hour How about 24 hours This webinar will help attendees

Networks, Inc, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for enterprise data centers and carrier networks, announced today that Nextgen Networks Nextgen , owner and operator of one of Australia s largest fiber networks, has joined Arbor s Cloud Signaling Coalition The Cloud Signaling Coalition CSC is an innovative partnership between service providers, datacenter operators and enterprises with the mission to ensure the availability of their network infrastructure and speed time-to-mitigation for distributed denial of service DDoS attacks Nextgen s Internet DDoS Protection service is built upon Arbor s Peakflow platform and offers integrated attack detection and mitigation to defend networks against availability threats The service identifies a DDoS attack in the Nextgen Internet network and provides alarms to the Nextgen Service Management Centre SMC When a suspected DDoS attack is detected, Nextgen s SMC calls the customer to verify the authenticity of the attack This allows the customer to confirm if the suspected attack is genuine traffic or not, thus avoiding any unnecessary disruptions With customer agreement, Nextgen then takes action against the attack by blocking the attack traffic that would otherwise congest and potentially disable the customer site or service Nextgen is committed to offering our corporate, government and carrier customers high performance, premium data services, said Nextgen Managing Director Phil Sykes Our customers expect these services to be available on-demand, always We are pleased to participate in Arbor s Cloud Signaling Coalition, which we see as an important tool that will further reduce time-to-mitigation for dynamic threats facing customer networks We see Arbor Networks as continuing to provide important leadership in DDoS protection The Cloud Signaling system is efficient and integrated, bridging the customer premise to the service provider cloud Arbor is bringing its decade of DDoS mitigation experience in ISP networks to the enterprise at a time when availability threats are top of mind for network operators, said Nick Race, Arbor Networks country manager for Australia and New Zealand Arbor Networks 450 customers include the vast majority of the world's ISPs and many of the largest enterprise networks in use today According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled, DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as the overall dominant leader for DDoS prevention as well as in the Carrier, Enterprise and Mobile market segments Cloud Signaling Functionality A Faster, Automated Way to Provide Comprehensive DDoS Mitigation At the heart of Cloud Signaling functionality are Arbor Networks Peakflow SP and Pravail Availability Protection System solutions Peakflow SP powers many of the world s leading cloud-based DDoS managed security services, while Arbor s Pravail Availability Protection System APS is an on-premise device that protects the enterprise perimeter against threats to availability specifically, protection against application-layer distributed denial of service DDoS attacks Cloud Signaling functionality is an efficient and integrated way of bridging the enterprise data center to the service provider cloud Cloud Signaling functionality connects the on-premise Pravail APS device with the cloud-based Peakflow SP solution, helping to ensure the availability of enterprise infrastructures and speed time-to-mitigation for DDoS attacks Arbor believes that the best way for enterprises, IDC and cloud operators to have optimal protection against DDoS attacks is through this combination of on-premise and in-cloud protection Cloud Signaling Technology How does it work When an enterprise or data center operator discovers that they are under a service-disrupting DDoS attack, they can choose to mitigate the attack in the cloud through the Cloud Signaling system, triggering a signal to upstream infrastructure of their service provider s network A volumetric DDoS attack congesting the upstream links would immediately diminish or disappear altogether from the data center s access links, and service availability would be protected Participation in the Cloud Signaling Coalition allows the service provider to provide differentiated managed security services, reduces the time to mitigation and increases the effectiveness of the response against DDoS threats, thus saving the customer from major operational expenses and helping to preserve their reputation Enterprise and managed services customers also benefit from real-time monitoring of the attack mitigation, as well as granular post-mortem reports with details of the attack and the steps taken by the service provider to mitigate the attack, keeping them in control and maintaining their expertise in command of the event About Nextgen Networks Nextgen Networks is a national Telecommunications Carrier that specialises in high

Arbor believes that the best way for enterprises, data center and Cloud operators to have optimal protection against DDoS attacks is through this combination of on-premise and in-cloud protection Cloud Signaling Coalition How does it work When an enterprise or data center operator discovers that they are under a service-disrupting DDoS attack, they can choose to mitigate the attack in the cloud by triggering a signal to upstream infrastructure of their service provider s network A volumetric DDoS attack congesting the upstream links would immediately diminish or disappear altogether from the data center s access links, and service availability would be protected Participation in the Cloud Signaling Coalition allows the service provider to provide differentiated managed security services, reduces the time to mitigation and increase the effectiveness of the response against DDoS threats, thus saving the customer from major operational expenses and preserving their reputation Enterprise customers also benefit from real time monitoring of the attack mitigation, as well as granular post mortem reports with details of the attack and the steps taken by the service provider to mitigate the attack, keeping them in control and maintaining their expertise in command of the event About Neustar, Inc Neustar, Inc is a trusted, neutral provider of real-time information and

Arbor Networks - Ensure Availability of Internet Facing Services with Arbor Networks Pravail Availability Protection System APS v25 Protect Critical Services like SSL and Support Content Delivery Networks CHELMSFORD, MA, February 28, 2011 Arbor Networks, Inc, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for enterprise data centers and carrier networks, today introduced a new version of its Pravail Availability Protection System APS which protects enterprise networks from availability threats specifically, application-layer distributed denial of service DDoS attacks In addition to enhanced visibility, control and reporting, Pravail APS v25 includes enhanced protections for critical services such as SSL and content delivery networks According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled, DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as the dominant leader for DDoS prevention overall as well as in the Carrier Transport and Wired Broadband, Enterprise Data Center and Mobile market segment Arbor Networks understands that enterprise networks are exposed to a growing variety of DDoS attacks ranging from flood attacks to smaller, more difficult to detect application-layer attacks that target email, web services, e-commerce and Voice over IP VoIP Attacks are becoming more sophisticated yet easier to perpetrate As a result, enterprise network operators around the world are experiencing outages due to DDoS more frequently and with more severe consequences to their businesses than ever before In the Pravail APS, Arbor s taken our carrier-class DDoS attack identification and mitigation technology and put it in a purpose-build solution for the enterprise data center In today s complex threat landscape, application-layer attacks must be dealt with at the network perimiter, before they overwhelm existing security devices like Firewalls and IPS and certainly before they impact critical services like SSL, said Arbor Networks president Colin Doherty Global Threat Intelligence and Automatic Updates Anonymized traffic data from 100 customer networks plus a global honeypot sensor network form the core of Arbor Networks ATLAS Internet monitoring system, which powers all Arbor Networks solutions including Pravail APS ATLAS data enables Arbor Security Engineering Response Team ASERT to develop a globally-scoped view of malicious traffic traversing the backbone networks that form the Internet's core When a new botnet or application-layer attack is detected, an attack signature is created, distributed via the ATLAS Intelligence Feed AIF and installed in Arbor s Pravail APS product The AIF enables enterprise IT teams to leverage the global threat intelligence of the ATLAS data set together with the daily threat analysis of Arbor s researchers, saving significant time by eliminating the need to manually update the latest attack detection signatures Most importantly, this integrated, automated threat intelligence enables customers to quickly stop DDoS attacks before they impact critical business services SSL Protocol Attack Protection Today, Secure Sockets Layer SSL provides the necessary security and encryption for enterprises and their customers to safeguard sensitive transactions and email over the Internet As enterprises increasingly rely on SSL for their mission critical communications it becomes a more significant target for DDoS attacks To ensure the availability of SSL-powered services, Arbor s Pravail APS now delivers DDoS protections for SSL regardless of the application HTTPS, POP3S, SMTPS, etc Pravail APS blocks SSL DDoS attacks with ASERT-designed protections that guard against malformed traffic, attempts to continually renegotiate connections and other advanced attacks that aim to disrupt service availability CDN and Proxy Support Traditionally, enterprises that employ in CDNs and proxies have had limited options for availability protection because many DDoS mitigation solutions overly rely upon blacklisting of the attackers IP addresses Because CDNs and proxies hide the IP address of clients, unsophisticated solutions would block all connections from the CDN or proxy both legitimate traffic and attacking hosts when a DDoS attack was identified This mitigation approach essentially completes the attack for the attackers Pravail APS now supports CDNs and proxies to work within all enterprise environments without forcing a network re-design to accommodate availability protection Arbor Networks relies on both global visibility and advanced security research to continually update its security content The advanced anti-DDoS protections designed by ASERT enable Pravail APS to deliver effective availability protection with and without blacklists Enterprises that rely on CDNs and proxies no longer have to sacrifice business needs for proven security Enhanced Visibility, Control and Reporting Confidence in DDoS protection comes from viewing blocked attacks and service availability Pravail APS v25 provides the user with confidence to deploy in-line by providing details on what specific hosts were blocked and why The interface and reporting validates that valid traffic isn t blocked and easily whitelist hosts that should not be blocked About Arbor Networks Arbor Networks, Inc is a

Tools Is Game Changer for Enterprise Security Chelmsford, MA, February 7, 2012 Arbor Networks, Inc, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for next-generation data centers and carrier networks, today published an in-depth visual review of DDoS tools that are used in the Internet underground and that can be used for Hacktivist purposes As part of its 7th annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report also released today, the company has published data on the increasing frequency and complexity of DDoS attacks that threaten the availability of enterprise data center services The explosion of opt-in DDoS attack tools is a game changer for enterprise security These tools have empowered anyone with an Internet connection to launch DDoS attacks This has profound implications for any business operating online The risk of attack is now exponentially greater than in the recent past, commanding the need for a layered defense strategy in the enterprise In a blog post titled Attack of the Shuriken Many Hands, Many Weapons, Arbor has provided a peek into the underground by examining more than 50 popular DDoS attack tools from the simple to the complex, as well as reviewing contemporary and historical threats The research comprises a broad range of tools, such as single user flooding tools, small host booters, shell booters, Remote Access Trojans RATs with flooding capabilities, simple DDoS bots, complex DDoS bots and commercial DDoS services Our research shows that even many of the less sophisticated tools have Remote Access Trojan functionality to perform password theft, download and execute other malware, sniff keystrokes and other malicious activities In addition to the threats to confidentiality, actual incidents have shown that simple flooding tools such as a host booter can take down enterprise-class firewalls from either side of the firewall due to state table exhaustion, said Curt Wilson, a member of Arbor s Security and Engineering Response Team ASERT Best Practice Layered Approach to DDoS Defense In the face of this rapidly changing threat landscape, and increasingly sophisticated attacks, the DDoS problem is now a top concern of enterprise IT teams, according to Rob Ayoub, Frost Sullivan Global Program Director for Network Security Many security teams rely on traditional security products such as firewall, intrusion prevention system and web application firewall devices to protect their organizations from a variety of threats, including DDoS attacks Though these devices are essential elements of a sound security strategy, they simply are not designed to stop highly complex DDoS attacks A layered approach is required for protection against DDoS attacks Arbor believes that the only way for enterprises and cloud operators to have optimal protection against DDoS attacks is through a combination of on-premise and in-cloud protection Working with its Internet service provider ISP and managed security services provider MSSP customers, Arbor has developed a protocol to facilitate both customer edge mitigation of application-layer attacks and upstream mitigation of volumetric attacks in an automated and real-time manner Cloud SignalingSM Developed by Arbor Networks, Cloud Signaling functionality is an efficient and integrated way of bridging the enterprise data center to the service provider cloud Cloud Signaling connects the on-premise Pravail APS device with the cloud-based Peakflow SP solution that powers more than 50 DDoS managed security services offerings Cloud Signaling helps to ensure the availability of enterprise data center infrastructures and speed time-to-mitigation for DDoS attacks When a data center operator discovers that he is under a service-disrupting DDoS attack, he can choose to mitigate the attack in the cloud by triggering a signal to upstream infrastructure of the provider s network A volumetric DDoS attack congesting the upstream links would promptly diminish or disappear altogether from the data center s access links, protecting service availability Enterprise customers also benefit from real-time monitoring of the attack mitigation, as well as granular post-mortem reports, with details of the attack and the steps taken by the operator to mitigate the attack This method helps data center operators maintain control and stay in command of the event, as well as establish best practices The addition of Cloud Signaling into the ISP MSSP portfolio further strengthens the overall managed DDoS service offering by providing customers with complete DDoS protection from a single dashboard Cloud Signaling enables the enterprise data center operator to reduce time to mitigation and increase the effectiveness of response against DDoS threats, thus saving the company from major operational expense and helping to preserve the company s brand and reputation About Arbor Networks Arbor Networks, Inc is a leading provider of network

Reveals New DDoS Threat Landscape, Attack Motives and First Ever IPv6 Attack Hacktivism and Vandalism are the Most Readily-identified DDoS Attack Motivations Frequency, Complexity and Average Size of Attacks Continues to Grow First-ever IPv6 DDoS Attacks Are Reported Visibility and Security of Mobile Fixed Wireless Networks Remains a Challenge Chelmsford, MA, February 7, 2012 In a significant finding with major implications for all Internet-connected organizations, the Arbor Networks 7th Annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report revealed that ideologically-motivated hacktivism is the single most readily-identified motivation behind DDoS attacks Previous data showed the top factors to be financially-driven, either for competitive reasons or outright extortion In today s environment, any business can become a target of an attack, and given the plethora of readily available DDoS attack tools, anyone can launch an attack This represents a sea-change in the threat landscape and in the risk assessment model for network operators and end-customers that rely on the Internet for their business Arbor s longstanding relationships with service providers and network operators across the globe, and its reputation as a trusted advisor and solution partner, make this annual report possible The report offers a rare view into the challenges of network operators on the front lines of a global battle against botnets and DDoS attacks It is designed to provide data and insight that will enable network operators to make more informed decisions about their security strategies to ensure availability for mission-critical Internet and other IP-based infrastructure Click here to access the Arbor Networks 7th Annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report In the past two years, the pace of innovation on the part of hackers has accelerated They are utilizing new tools and techniques and presenting acute challenges for network operators, said Jennifer Pigg, founder, Battle Green Research, a Yankee Group affiliate Arbor Networks annual security report provides valuable insight into the challenges facing operators on the front lines of the battle against cyberattacks What we saw in 2011 was the democratization of DDoS, said Roland Dobbins, Arbor Networks Solutions Architect for Asia-Pacific, and the primary author of this year s report Any enterprise operating online - which means just about any type and size of organization - can become a target, because of who they are, what they sell, who they partner with or for any other real or perceived affiliations Furthermore, the explosion of inexpensive and readily-accessible attack tools is enabling anyone to carry out DDoS attacks This has profound implications for the threat landscape, risk profile, network architecture and security deployments of Internet operators and Internet-connected enterprises Large Volumetric DDoS Attacks Are the New Normal During the survey period, respondents reported a significant increase in the prevalence of high-bandwidth DDoS attacks in the 10 Gbps range, indicating that network operators must be prepared to withstand and mitigate large bandwidth attacks on a routine basis Twenty-five percent observed DDoS attacks that exceeded the total bandwidth into their data center The single largest reported DDoS attack during the survey period was 60 Gbps, down from 100 Gbps reported in 2010 However, network operators should not misconstrue this as a decrease in the severity of attacks To the contrary, network operators should understand that an attack in the tens of gigabits per second is more than sufficient to down a business, and that this data underscores how extremely serious the threat of these larger attacks is to network infrastructure and ancillary support services such as DNS - not to mention end-customer properties Thirteen percent reported attacks greater than 10 Gbps Increasing Sophistication and Complexity of Application-layer and Multi-vector DDoS Attacks Respondents indicate that sophisticated application-layer DDoS attacks have become commonplace and complex multi-vector DDoS attacks with both high-bandwidth and application-layer attack components are rapidly gaining in popularity with attackers Fifty percent reported application-layer attacks on their networks Stateful Firewall IPS continue to fall short in DDoS protection More than 40 percent of respondents reported an inline firewall and or IPS failing due to a DDoS attack First-Ever IPv6 DDoS Attacks 'in the Wild' Are Reported For the first time, respondents to this year s survey observed IPv6 DDoS attacks on their networks This marks a significant milestone in the arms race between attackers and defenders, and confirms that network operators must have sufficient visibility and mitigation capabilities to protect IPv6-enabled properties Of note, while this is the first instance of reported IPv6 DDoS attacks, IPv6 security incidents remain relatively rare This is a clear indication that while IPv6 deployments continue to advance, IPv6 is not yet economically or culturally significant enough to warrant serious attention by the Internet criminal underground Trust Issues across Geographic Boundaries are Prevalent Approximately 75 percent of respondents indicated that they keep close watch on the origin of traffic, noting that certain countries and regions represent an increased threat for DDoS attacks Also notable, is concern over the geographic origin of equipment they deploy in their networks Visibility and Security of Mobile Fixed Wireless Networks Remain Challenges Fifty percent of respondents reported not seeing any attacks targeting the mobile infrastructure Conversely, more than 30 percent reported an average of 50 to 100 DDoS attacks per month In addition, 44 percent don t know if they have infected hosts on their network These inconsistent findings are indicative of the general lack of necessary tools among mobile operators to effectively detect security threats Survey Scope and Demographics The data covers October 2010 through November 2011 Respondents represent 114 service providers throughout the world 39 percent from Americas 41 percent from EMEA and 20 percent from Asia Pacific Seventy-seven percent of respondents are network or security operations

Management System into Alcatel-Lucent IP routers helps service providers counter the growing threat of attacks and ensures the integrity of their networks and cloud services Paris and Chelmsford, MA, January 18, 2012 - Alcatel-Lucent Euronext and NYSE ALU and Arbor Networks, a leader in network monitoring and security solutions, have joined forces to tackle the growing threat of distributed denial-of-service DDoS attacks Such attacks can compromise the communication networks used to provide a growing array of cloud services as well as businesses that carry large volumes of critical data traffic over the Internet With the world s top five percent of Internet data centers experiencing as many as 500 attacks a month , Alcatel-Lucent and Arbor are today offering a joint solution that provides advanced DDoS protection and security capabilities to help address this escalating challenge Source Arbor Networks 2010 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report, January 2011 These cloud-based security services address the concerns of 3,386 IT Decision Makers that participated in a recent Alcatel-Lucent global study Study participants cited performance and security as the two areas of cloud services needing the most improvement A new class of carrier cloud also addresses this by combining the computing power and flexibility of the cloud, with the security, reliability and guaranteed performance of communications networks Carrier clouds provide an ideal way of detecting and eliminating DDoS attacks quickly Today, when network attacks are detected, the infected traffic is typically transported to a central location for treatment With the largest sustained attacks on networks consuming 100 gigabits per second of capacity, transporting infected traffic to centralized locations can be both expensive and disruptive By integrating Arbor s Threat Management System TMS software into Alcatel-Lucent s IP routers - wherever they are located in a given network - attacks can be detected and dealt with at the edge of the cloud, closer to the location of the attack, which is a much more effective and less costly approach In addition to making service providers own cloud networks and services more resilient, this new solution also enables them to offer a cloud-based service to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks on the networks of their enterprise customers This represents a lucrative revenue opportunity because many businesses do not have the skill-set or resources to keep up with this rapidly escalating threat on their own Service providers can deliver denial-of-service scrubbing as a cloud-based service from the same platform as virtual private network VPN and business Internet services, with minimal incremental investment This partnership brings DDoS mitigation capabilities to the edge of provider networks and benefits them in multiple ways, from the cost saving benefits of reducing the volume of backhaul traffic to the ability to scale and generate additional revenue from managed security services, said Michael Suby, Stratecast Vice President of Research at Frost Sullivan The demand for edge-based services also speaks to the complex challenges facing enterprise network administrators when it comes to DDoS and availability threats They are increasingly looking to their service providers for managed solutions Kevin Macaluso, Vice President and General Manager of the IP Service Router Product Unit, said Denial-of-service attacks are a rapidly growing problem in service provider and Enterprise networks today Unchecked, they can bring down large networks and data centers for significant periods of time, which obviously has a detrimental impact on productivity and delivery of services By integrating Arbor s TMS into our IP service routers, we re essentially moving the defensive perimeter further out to the edge of the service provider s network in effect stopping criminals at the border After being first-to-market with application level monitoring and control functionality for business networks in a carrier class service router, Alcatel-Lucent has raised the bar even higher by being first to integrate Arbor Networks TMS capabilities in the same integrated service adapter platform This fully aligns with Alcatel-Lucent s High Leverage Network TM vision, which allows service providers to consolidate and converge their infrastructure, thus reducing CAPEX and OPEX, while speeding time to market for new services that leverage and extract more value from their network The solution also complements Alcatel-Lucent s recently announced CloudBand solution which makes the carrier cloud possible through the dynamic orchestration and provision of cloud services, such as threat management, delivery of latency sensitive applications and guaranteed Quality of Service More than sixty service providers offer some sort of clean pipe managed service built off the Arbor platform By embedding our Threat Management System software into the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router, these service providers can scale their DDoS traffic cleaning service to capitalize on accelerating enterprise demand for cloud-based protection from DDoS attacks, said Colin Doherty, President of Arbor Networks The combined solution is available today and is currently in trials with more than 20 service providers worldwide For more

Networks Arbor Networks - Integration of Arbor s Threat Management System into Alcatel-Lucent IP routers helps service providers counter the growing threat of attacks and ensures the integrity of their networks and cloud services Paris and Chelmsford, MA, January 18, 2011 - Alcatel-Lucent Euronext and NYSE ALU and Arbor Networks, a leader in network monitoring and security solutions, have joined forces to tackle the growing threat of distributed denial-of-service DDoS attacks by hackers Such attacks can compromise the communication networks used to provide a growing array of cloud services as well as businesses that carry large volumes of critical data traffic over the Internet With the world s top five percent of Internet data centers experiencing as many as 500 attacks a month , Alcatel-Lucent and Arbor are today offering a joint solution that provides advanced DDoS protection and security capabilities to help address this escalating challenge Source Arbor Networks 2010 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report, January 2011 These cloud-based security services address the concerns of 3,386 IT Decision Makers that participated in a recent Alcatel-Lucent global study Study participants cited performance and security as the two areas of cloud services needing the most improvement A new class of carrier cloud also addresses this by combining the computing power and flexibility of the cloud, with the security, reliability and guaranteed performance of communications networks Carrier clouds provide an ideal way of detecting and eliminating DDoS attacks quickly Today, when network attacks are detected, the infected traffic is typically transported to a central location for treatment With the largest sustained attacks on networks consuming 100 gigabits per second of capacity, transporting infected traffic to centralized locations can be both expensive and disruptive By integrating Arbor s Threat Management System TMS software into Alcatel-Lucent s IP routers - wherever they are located in a given network - attacks can be detected and dealt with at the edge of the cloud, closer to the location of the attack, which is a much more effective and less costly approach In addition to making service providers own cloud networks and services more resilient, this new solution also enables them to offer a cloud-based service to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks on the networks of their enterprise customers This represents a lucrative revenue opportunity because many businesses do not have the skill-set or resources to keep up with

Networks, Inc, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for next-generation data centers and carrier networks, announced today that Prolexic, the global leader in distributed denial of device DDoS protection services, has joined Arbor s Cloud SignalingSM Coalition CSC The CSC is an innovative partnership between service providers, datacenter operators and enterprises with the mission to ensure the availability of their network infrastructure and speed time-to-mitigation for DDoS attacks Founded in 2003, Prolexic was the first company to establish global scrubbing centers to stop DDoS attacks in the cloud Leveraging unique filtering techniques, high-speed bandwidth and peering, advanced routing and other patent-pending services, Prolexic provides the most advanced and powerful DDoS detection and network protection systems available Prolexic has been fighting DDoS attacks in the cloud since 2003 and joining Arbor s Cloud Signaling Coalition shows our on-going commitment to this strategy, said Scott Hammack, Prolexic Chief Executive Officer Working together, we can continue to refine our tools and techniques to minimize the impact these attacks have on our clients web sites and revenues As distributed denial of service attacks escalate in size and complexity, their detection and mitigation requires the collaboration of all stakeholders from the customer premise to the service provider cloud, said Colin Doherty, Arbor Networks Chief Executive Officer The Cloud Signaling Coalition from Arbor Networks enables this collaboration It provides an infrastructure that facilitates local and upstream mitigation of edge-based, application-layer DDoS attacks, as well as cloud-based, volumetric DDoS attacks in an automated and real-time manner Cloud Signaling A Faster, Automated Way to Provide Comprehensive DDoS Mitigation At the heart of Cloud Signaling are Arbor Networks Peakflow SP and PravailTM Availability Protection System solutions Arbor Peakflow SP powers many of the world s leading cloud-based DDoS managed security services, while Arbor s Pravail Availability Protection System APS is an on-premise device that protects the Internet Data Center IDC edge against threats to availability specifically, protection against application-layer DDoS attacks Cloud Signaling is an efficient and integrated way of bridging the enterprise data center to the service provider cloud Cloud Signaling connects the on-premise Pravail APS device with the cloud-based Peakflow SP solution, helping to ensure the availability of IDC infrastructures and speed time-to-mitigation for DDoS attacks Arbor believes that the best way for enterprises, IDC and cloud operators to have optimal protection against DDoS attacks are through this combination of on-premise and in-cloud protection Cloud Signaling Coalition How does it work When an enterprise or data center operator discovers that they are under a service-disrupting DDoS attack, they can choose to mitigate the attack in the cloud by triggering a signal to the upstream infrastructure of their service provider s network A volumetric DDoS attack congesting the upstream links would immediately diminish or disappear altogether from the data center s access links, and service availability would be protected Participation in the Cloud Signaling Coalition allows the service provider to provide differentiated managed security services, reduces the time-to-mitigation and increase the effectiveness of the response against DDoS threats, thus saving the customer from major operational expenses and preserving their reputation Enterprise and IDC customers also benefit from real time monitoring of the attack mitigation, as well as granular post-mortem reports with details of the attack and the mitigating steps taken by the service provider, keeping customers in control and maintaining their expertise in command of the event About Prolexic Prolexic is the world s

Protection System APS appliances, a new product family focused on securing the Internet data center IDC edge from threats against availability specifically, protection against application-layer distributed denial of service DDoS attacks We are very pleased to announce the availability of the Pravial APS for our Indian customers For more than a decade, Arbor Networks has developed innovative, market-leading DDoS detection and mitigation solutions that are deployed in the vast majority of the world s largest and most valuable service provider networks Arbor has leveraged this experience to create the Arbor Pravail APS, bringing carrier-class DDoS detection and mitigation capabilities to the data center, said Colin Doherty, Arbor Networks president In recent months, high profile attacks and outages have gotten the attention of C-level executives, said Rob Ayoub, Global Program Director, Network Security at Frost Sullivan If your data center is not available, all the compliance or data integrity in the world is not going to help your customers, business or your brand, said Ayoub Arbor is addressing the number one threat to the availability of data center resources and that is the increasing prevalence and effectiveness of application-layer denial of service attacks that target infrastructure and potentially, existing security devices themselves Firewall and IPS Not Effective Against Today s Sophisticated DDoS Threats While key elements of an overall security strategy, firewalls and Intrusion Prevention Systems are not effective solutions against DDoS attacks Because these devices maintain state information for every session established between a client on the Internet and the corresponding server in the data center, these products themselves are commonly the targets of DDoS attacks According to Arbor s 2010 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report, half of all who have deployed these devices within their data centers experienced stateful firewall and or IPS failure as a direct result of DDoS attacks during the survey period Arbor Pravail APS Highlights Purpose-built for IDC deployment scenarios Out of the box, carrier-class DDoS attack identification and mitigation capabilities Can be rapidly deployed with little configuration, even during an attack Focused on detecting and stopping application-layer DDoS attacks A single,

Networks - Chelmsford, MA, June 27, 2011 Arbor Networks, Inc, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for next-generation data centers and carrier networks, today announced the availability of version 56 of Arbor Peakflow SP, the industry s leading network-wide infrastructure security and traffic-monitoring platform The vast majority of the world s leading service providers rely on Arbor s Peakflow SP platform to proactively fend off malicious threats such as botnets and volumetric and application-layer distributed denial of service DDoS attacks, while strengthening the availability and quality of their services The Arbor Peakflow SP platform includes two main components, Peakflow SP and the Threat Management System TMS Arbor Peakflow SP combines network-wide anomaly detection and traffic engineering with TMS s carrier-class threat management that automatically detects and surgically removes only attack traffic while maintaining legitimate business traffic As IPv6 connectivity, applications and increased traffic are introduced into operator networks, IPv6 threats, attacks and network security breaches become more prevalent This increase, combined with a dual IPv4 IPv6 environment, brings more complexity to operator networks, said Becky Watson, principal analyst with Frost Sullivan Arbor's new Peakflow SP 56 release builds on its current IPv4 strengths while addressing IPv6 security issues and enabling more visibility and automation to reduce complexities in network management Stopping DDoS Attacks in IPv6 Networks In previous releases Peakflow SP enabled operators to gain critical visibility into IPv6 traffic With version 56, Peakflow adds the capability to mitigate attacks over IPv6 First, the highly effective Peakflow SP TMS mitigation architecture available for IPv4 networks is now available for IPv6 Operators can use techniques such as Remote Triggered Blackhole Routing RTHB and TMS diversion reinjection to quickly and effectively deal with attacks over IPv6 Second, the release provides a comprehensive suite of IPv6 threat countermeasures, enabling the TMS system to screen out IPv6 attack traffic, while allowing legitimate traffic to reach the intended destination Streamlined Workflow, Enhanced Automation Peakflow SP 56 adds new features that enable operators to easily establish accurate mitigation thresholds, automate the configuration of large deployments, provide for more customer control of managed services, and offers expanded reporting and router support Cloud Signaling A Faster, Automated Way to Provide

APS appliances, a new product family focused on securing the Internet data center IDC edge from threats against availability specifically, protection against application-layer distributed denial of service DDoS attacks For more than a decade, Arbor Networks has developed innovative, market-leading DDoS detection and mitigation solutions that are deployed in the vast majority of the world s largest and most valuable service provider networks Arbor has leveraged this experience to create the Arbor Pravail APS, bringing carrier-class DDoS detection and mitigation capabilities to the data center, said Colin Doherty, Arbor Networks president Pravail is purpose-built to address the number one threat to the availability of IDC resources application-layer DDoS attacks This new product is squarely addressing a major concern for IDC operators and for those thinking about adopting a Cloud Computing model In recent months, high profile attacks and outages have gotten the attention of C-level executives, said Rob Ayoub, Global Program Director, Network Security at Frost Sullivan They are starting to understand that security begins with availability If your data center is not available, all the compliance or data integrity in the world is not going to help your customers, business or your brand, said Ayoub Arbor is addressing the number one threat to the availability of data center resources and that is the increasing prevalence and effectiveness of application-layer denial of service attacks that target infrastructure, and potentially, existing security devices themselves While key elements of an overall security strategy, firewalls and Intrusion Prevention Systems are not effective solutions against DDoS attacks Because these devices maintain state information for every session established between a client on the Internet and the corresponding server in the data center, these products themselves are commonly the targets of DDoS attacks According to Arbor s 2010 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report, a solid majority of those who have deployed these devices within their IDCs experienced stateful firewall and or IPS failure as a direct result of DDoS attacks during the survey period Arbor Pravail APS is a purpose-built platform to identify and block application-layer DDoS attacks that threaten IDC availability Arbor Pravail APS highlights Purpose-built for IDC deployment scenarios Out of the box, carrier-class DDoS attack identification and mitigation capabilities Can be rapidly deployed with little configuration, even

distributed denial of service DDoS attacks Cloud Signaling enables optimal protection of the Internet data center from availability threats, identifying and mitigating application-layer attacks at the data center edge and volumetric denial of service attacks in the provider cloud No other vendor is able to offer this comprehensive, automated protection against availability threats to IDC infrastructure DDoS Threat to the Data Center For the second consecutive year, botnet-driven volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks continue to be the most significant problems facing network operators, according to the Arbor Networks 2010 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report In 2010, for the first time, volumetric DDoS attacks topped the 100 Gbps barrier and an alarming 77 percent of respondents detected application-layer attacks These application-layer attacks are targeting both end customers and network operators own critical support services, such as HTTP, Web and domain name system DNS services IDC operators reported that application-layer DDoS attacks are leading to significant outages, increased operational expenditures OPEX , customer churn and revenue loss Moreover, enterprises point to the DDoS threat to the data center the availability of services and data as one of the biggest obstacles for organizations looking to move to cloud-based infrastructure today Cloud Signaling A Faster, Automated Way to Provide Comprehensive DDoS Mitigation Cloud Signaling addresses the need for a coordinated response to both aspects of today s increasingly complex DDoS threat the magnitude of the largest volumetric attacks and the sophistication of the latest in application-layer denial of service attacks Working with their Internet service provider ISP and managed security services provider MSSP customers, Arbor Networks has developed a protocol to facilitate both customer on-premise mitigation of application-layer attacks and upstream mitigation of volumetric attacks in an automated and real-time manner Arbor customers who utilize Cloud Signaling can offer customers a comprehensive, integrated protection from the data center edge to the service provider cloud When a data center operator discovers that they are under a service-disrupting DDoS attack, they can choose to mitigate the attack in the cloud by triggering a signal to upstream infrastructure of their provider s network A volumetric DDoS attack congesting the upstream links would immediately diminish or disappear altogether from the data center s access links and service availability would be protected IDC customers also benefit from real-time monitoring of the attack mitigation, as well as granular post-mortem reports with details of the attack and the steps taken by the operator to mitigate the attack, keeping them in control and maintaining their expertise in command of the event The addition of Cloud Signaling into the ISP MSSP portfolio further strengthens the overall managed DDoS service offering by providing customers with complete DDoS protection from a single dashboard Cloud Signaling enables the IDC operator to reduce time to mitigation and increase the effectiveness of response against DDoS threats, thus saving the company from major operational expense and preserving the company s reputation Customer quotes supporting Arbor s Cloud Signaling Adversor operates a cloud-based DDoS security service with global reach To ensure the availability of our customer s data and services we need to identify and mitigate application-layer attacks at the data center edge

Mass, October 5, 2010 Arbor Networks Inc, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for converged carrier networks and next-generation data centers, announced today that SdV Plurimedia SdV , an industry leading, hosting and web services provider in France, has deployed Arbor Networks Peakflow SP and the integrated Threat Management System TMS to deliver out-of-band threat detection and surgical mitigation of distributed denial of service DDoS attacks against their data center infrastructure and customer web sites A majority of SdV s customers are media companies that offer public facing services that require high performance and 100pourcents uptime SdV s customer websites are frequently attack targets due to the public facing and sometimes controversial nature of their content Therefore it s common for SdV to see attacks on a daily basis In the past, SdV had tried several attack mitigation products The main issue SdV had with these products was since they could only be deployed in-line, they presented a risk to network integrity as they became a single point of failure SdV required a solution that did not require in-line deployment After a quick trial period SdV was up and running with Arbor s Peakflow SP and TMS 3110 solution SdV created a new VLAN and inserted the new devices outside the core network causing no service interruption In fact, this out of band deployment of the Peakflow products is so important to SdV that they promote it as a means of differentiation in their very competitive market We have always considered ourselves a market leader and strive to deploy state-of-the-art technology for our customers For example, we make it a point in our marketing to describe our out-of-band attack mitigation capabilities in order to differentiate ourselves from competitors, retain existing customers and attract new ones, said Salim Gasmi, SdV Plurimedia s chief technology officer It s not a matter of choice, it s a matter of survival If we didn t have a working Arbor DDoS protection solution in place, all our customers would leave and we would be out of business, emphasized Gasmi In a data center environment, an attack on one company can lead to problems for many The risk of collateral damage is quite high, said Eric Michonnet, Arbor Networks regional director for southern Europe The cloud or hosting provider s mitigation strategy becomes essential at this point, both for their reputation and its customers If they react by shutting down the service to the compromised customer in order to protect others, this goes against everything driving cloud adoption today, such as cost savings and always on availability Then there is the damage to the brands and reputations of impacted web properties This is why real-time mitigation, as delivered via our Threat Management System, is such an essential component in protecting today s Internet data center By tightly integrating TMS into the Peakflow SP platform, Arbor Networks delivers a solution that combines network-wide anomaly detection and traffic engineering with carrier-class threat management that automatically detects and surgically removes only 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 The Peakflow SP platform offers an industry-unique combination of macro- and micro-level analysis to address all network security threats Competitive solutions require operators to log-in to multiple devices to address a single security threat This creates a cumbersome and inefficient process at a time when split-second decision making is paramount 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 ongoing maintenance As a result, it can provide a much lower total cost of ownership than competitive solutions About Arbor

Secuobs.com : 2011-04-07 19:48:22 - Arbor Networks Arbor Networks - Reveals DDoS Attack Size Breaks 100 Gbps for First Time Up 1000pourcents Since 2005 Application-layer DDoS attacks target data center infrastructure Mobile operators have limited visibility and control over their networks DNS and IPv6 continue to present significant challenges for network operators Click here to access Arbor Networks Sixth Annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report Chelmsford, Mass, February 1, 2011 2010 should be viewed as the year distributed denial of service DDoS attacks became mainstream as many high profile attacks were launched against popular Internet services and other well known targets The year also witnessed a sharp escalation in the scale and frequency of DDoS attack activity on the Internet The 100 Gbps attack barrier was reached for the first time while application layer attacks hit an all-time high Service providers experienced a marked impact on operational expense, revenue loss and customer churn as a result, according to a report issued today by Arbor Networks, a leading provider of security and network management solutions for converged carrier networks and next-generation data centers Arbor s longstanding relationships and reputation as a trusted advisor and solution partner to service providers and network operators across the globe make this annual report possible The report offers a rare view into the challenges of network operators on the front lines of a global battle against botnets and DDoS attacks It is designed to provide data and insight that will enable network operators to make more informed decisions about their security strategies to ensure availability for mission-critical Internet and other IP-based infrastructure Arbor Networks research is utterly indispensible for anyone who wants to understand the network security landscape, how it is evolving and what the implications may be, said Ethan Zuckerman of Harvard University s Berkman Center for Internet Society DDoS attacks have gone mainstream Botnet-driven DDoS attacks are likely to continue as a low cost, high-profile form of cyber-protest in 2011 and beyond Major incidents in 2010 included DDoS attacks associated with the territorial disputes between China and Japan, the ongoing political turmoil in Burma and Sri Lanka and the WikiLeaks affair The need to protect availability has finally made it onto the radar screen of enterprise IT consulting firms worldwide, and DDoS defense has consequently reached the status of a CXO-level issue globally Attack surface continues to expand The DDoS attack surface describes all aspects of network infrastructure, servers, protocols and services that are vulnerable to DDoS attacks As new equipment, protocols and services are introduced into networks, the vulnerable attack surface for DDoS is expanded This presents a significant challenge for network operators Botnet-driven volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks continue to be the most significant problems facing operators This year s report also reveals attackers are targeting the infrastructure itself, specifically DNS, VoIP and IPv6 Network operators are facing a global Internet insurgency driven by the ubiquity of botnets This has led to rapidly escalating DDoS attack size, frequency and sophistication, said Roland Dobbins, solutions architect with Arbor Networks Adding to the challenges facing operators is the increasing number of attack vectors, including applications and services, not to mention the proliferation of mobile devices Application-layer DDoS attacks are increasing in sophistication and operational impact An alarming 77pourcents of respondents detected application layer attacks in 2010 These attacks are targeting both their customers and their own ancillary supporting services, such as domain name system DNS , Web portals, etc Internet data center IDC operators and mobile fixed wireless operators report that application-layer DDoS attacks are leading to significant outages, increased operational expenditures OPEX , customer churn and revenue loss Increasingly sophisticated attacks expose IPS and firewall shortcomings In an effort to achieve DDoS protection, many operators have deployed stateful firewalls and intrusion prevention system IPS devices to protect data center infrastructure In actuality, these devices can render networks more susceptible to attacks as the state tables on even the most scalable versions available can be overwhelmed with a moderate size DDoS attack Nearly 49 percent of IDC respondents reported a firewall or IPS outage due to DDoS Lack of preparedness on mobile networks presents new attack opportunities The fastest-growing category of Internet service providers ISP mobile and fixed wireless operators may be the least prepared in terms of network visibility and control and overall ability to defend themselves and their customers against attack Nearly 60 percent of respondents indicated they have limited or no visibility into the network traffic of their wireless packet cores In addition, only 23 percent indicated they have visibility into their wireless packet cores on par with, or better than, their visibility into their wireline networks With some notable exceptions, many mobile fixed wireless network operators appear to have security postures approximating those of wireline operators eight to 10 years ago Operators are struggling to keep up their security posture through transition to IPv6 Operators expressed concern over lack of visibility into IPv6 network traffic and their inability to control that traffic to the same degree they control IPv4 traffic The additional network state and DDoS vector introduced by deployment of 6-to-4 gateways and network address translators NATs is also a significant threat to availability DNS emerging as a top target DNS has emerged as one of the easiest ways to DDoS a server service application and take it offline by denying Internet users the ability to resolve server resource records Additionally, the large number of misconfigured DNS open recursors, coupled with the lack of anti-spoofing deployments on many networks, allows attackers to launch overwhelming DNS reflection amplification attacks About Arbor Networks Arbor Networks, Inc is a leading provider of
