Holistic approach to DDoS protection, country-specific threat intelligence and continuous innovation see Arbor take out on-prem DDoS solution award.

Too often, when a technologist or company looks to solve the next big security problem the people and processes are often an afterthought.

Arbor Networks recently released global DDoS attack data for the first six months of 2016 that paints a pretty grim picture.

Arbor Networks' has garnered the highest overall security effectiveness score for its AP 2800, in NSS Labs' first DDoS Prevention Test.

“One of the greatest sources of enterprise risk today is not understanding that the attack environment has become personal."

“A constantly evolving threat environment is an accepted fact of life."

Arbor Networks has partnered with Duo, the specialist security IT distributor, to better serve its New Zealand customer base.

“Operators in New Zealand absolutely should take note. On-premise DDoS protection is essential for both detection and mitigation of attacks."

Arbor Networks latest infrastructure security report has found the size, complexity and frequency of DDoS attacks continues to rise, with customer infrastructure and data centres prime targets.

"When it comes to cyber-attacks, we live in a "when" not "if" world..."

"The company is well positioned, united around our strategy and committed to delivering for our customers, partners and each other."

Arbor Networks has branched out into services, offering Arbor Cloud DDoS protection service – a global DDoS cleaning service which works in conjunction with on-premise Arbor Pravail equipment to provide multi-layered defence.

With cloud computing’s paradigm of shared infrastructure, DDoS attacks on a specific target can quickly affect many or all tenants.

Company hopes recruitment will address the growing need for network visibility, DDoS and advanced threat protection.
