Netscout empowers customers to defeat cyberthreats with AI-powered DDoS defense
Dubai, UAE – NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, today announced new AI-backed enhancements to its NETSCOUT Arbor Edge Defense and NETSCOUT Arbor Enterprise Manager Adaptive Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) solution to help customers further automate operations, enhance defense, and improve reporting. These powerful enhancements leverage AI to intelligently automate defenses against an expanding array of attack vectors, enabling customers to accelerate their response to DDoS attacks to better protect their most critical applications and services. The Arbor Edge Defense and Arbor Enterprise Manager solution utilizes the ATLAS Intelligence Feed, derived from monitoring over 700 Tbps of Internet traffic in real-time across over 500 ISPs and 2,000 enterprise sites from over 100 countries, representing approximately 50% of global Internet activity at any given time. AI/ML algorithms run in the ATLAS cloud infrastructure as part of a unique data collection and analysis pipeline that delivers actionable intelligence to NETSCOUT solutions that are constantly updated. ATLAS Intelligence Feed fuels all Arbor DDoS protection products with intelligence on devices that are actively conducting DDoS attacks or are a part of specific DDoS attack infrastructures and botnets. This allows up to 80% of all DDoS attacks to be mitigated without the need for further analysis. 'IT buyers' security concerns signal a growing demand for integrated application protection and availability technologies to identify and mitigate DDoS threats,' said Chris Rodriguez, research director, security and trust, International Data Corporation (IDC). 'According to IDC buyer research conducted in April 2025, 41% of organizations stated that online attacks, including DDoS incidents, cost over $100,000 in damage, with 5% stating more than $1 million. With the increased use of AI/ML to launch cyber-attacks, organizations need to invest in intelligent solutions to continuously detect new attack types and threats to avoid costly damage to critical IT infrastructure.' The new enhancements to the Arbor Edge Defense and Arbor Enterprise Manager solution include new features to support deployment in demanding multi-site enterprise environments, and further automate the mitigation of sophisticated DDoS attacks: Strengthened data segmentation through scoped user access that allows administrators to limit the visibility of specific operations teams to specific defended locations and infrastructures. Automated IP protocol flooding detection and mitigation to block these evolving attacks when they occur. Enhanced DDoS dashboard that provides more detailed information, enabling even greater visibility and control for operations teams, even when defenses are automated. On-demand, automated reports ease the flow of information across security teams and their management. 'We're continually innovating to stay ahead of the growing array of DDoS cybersecurity threats as part of our Adaptive DDoS Protection strategy,' said Scott Iekel-Johnson, area vice president, DDoS and threat intelligence at NETSCOUT. 'With these enhancements, we're helping customers intelligently automate their defenses—delivering stronger protection against evolving DDoS attacks while simplifying how they manage and analyze threats.'

NETSCOUT Unveils New Enhanced Adaptive DDoS Protection Solution
NETSCOUT announced it enhanced its Arbor Threat Mitigation System (TMS) Adaptive DDoS Protection solution with additional AI/ML functionality to better detect and block malicious traffic. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks targeting critical IT infrastructure and services have increased by 55% over the last four years. A perfect storm of AI-driven automation, evolving DDoS-for-hire services, augmented IoT botnets, and geopolitical conflicts have changed the threat landscape with more frequent, sophisticated attacks having the potential to do more damage more rapidly. To combat these attacks, organizations, enterprises and service providers require AI/ML-enabled solutions that can continually adapt to threats, using proactive, intelligence-driven security strategies to protect their networks. 'With AI-driven attacks, ransomware, and nation-state threats impacting corporate governance, financial performance, and customer trust, corporate boards expect their IT teams to be proactive in adapting to emerging threats like DDoS,' said Chris Steffen, Vice President of Research – Information Security, Enterprise Management Associates. 'Implementing solutions that can adapt to threats helps minimize that risk.' NETSCOUT utilizes a hybrid AI/ML strategy that combines AI/ML running at scale in the cloud, with supervision, to analyze data collected from an unprecedented 550 Tbps of Internet traffic (almost half of all Internet traffic), along with AI/ML running in our software solutions to enable automated protection from these attacks. This provides a 'best of both worlds' approach – the computational scale of the cloud allows for large-scale analysis of threat data with supervision to ensure accuracy while AI/ML running in our software solutions enables them to leverage that pre-analyzed intelligence to make fast, accurate, automated decisions about what to detect and block. The company's cloud-based AI/ML drives the creation of the ATLAS Intelligence Feed , which delivers unique capabilities in its Adaptive DDoS Protection solutions, arming them with the latest DDoS attack intelligence. The continuous analysis, which is updated multiple times per day, provides insight into the source IP addresses of devices actively conducting DDoS attacks on the internet, novel attack vectors, DDoS attack targets, and other intelligence. This enables Adaptive DDoS Protection to quickly and accurately detect even small direct-path attacks from sampled flow data and send the traffic to TMS for automated blocking. The latest AI/ML-derived ATLAS Intelligence Feed iteration has been augmented with enhanced Geo-IP location functionality that maps IP addresses to geographic locations, enabling faster and more precise identification and blocking of malicious traffic. In addition, the ATLAS Intelligence Feed now includes NETSCOUT's ATLAS tracking of active DDoS campaigns, enabling Adaptive DDoS Protection to automatically detect and block attacks from over 65 known DDoS threat actors carrying out active attack campaigns against a range of targets, including NoName057 and RipperSec. AI/ML technology has also been adopted as part of the Adaptive DDoS Protection solution. New in the latest release is AI/ML-powered source host misuse detection, which enables network operators to track misbehaving subscribers, infected hosts, compromised IoT devices, and other internal attack sources. This new capability makes it easier to detect and block outbound DDoS attacks that can impact service and infrastructure performance and availability as edge connectivity speeds increase. New TMS Source Mitigations enable network operators to redirect and surgically protect against threat activity from specific sources that may be targeting the entire network without requiring fully inline solutions on all network traffic. Service Provider Benefits With updates to NETSCOUT's Adaptive DDoS Protection solution, service providers can better protect their critical infrastructures and the services they provide to their customers. Other key advantages include enhanced availability, reduced downtime costs, less aggravation, and new revenue-generating opportunities. 'With more sophisticated and frequent DDoS attacks, the risks have never been greater,' said Scott Nichols, Chief Commercial Officer at Arelion. 'Through our partnership with NETSCOUT, we're able to deliver industry-leading Adaptive DDoS protection to ensure the best experience possible for our customers.' 0 0
