Arbor Networks was founded in 2000 and became part of NETSCOUT in 2015. Today the Arbor brand covers NETSCOUT's DDoS protection portfolio, which has protected networks for more than 25 years. Backed by the ATLAS platform and the ASERT research team, Arbor solutions draw on visibility into roughly half of global internet traffic and protect two-thirds of the routed IPv4 space, spanning more than 375 industry verticals.
Arbor Networks was founded in 2000 and became part of NETSCOUT in 2015. Today the Arbor brand covers NETSCOUT's DDoS protection portfolio, which has protected networks for more than 25 years. Backed by the ATLAS platform and the ASERT research team, Arbor solutions draw on visibility into roughly half of global internet traffic and protect two-thirds of the routed IPv4 space, spanning more than 375 industry verticals.
The portfolio serves two audiences: service providers, which use Arbor Sightline and the Threat Mitigation System to protect their backbones and sell managed DDoS services, and enterprises, which deploy Arbor Edge Defense on-premises with Arbor Cloud as an overflow for volumetric attacks. In the Middle East, NETSCOUT operates an Arbor Cloud scrubbing centre in Dubai and has an agreement with stc to deliver large-scale DDoS protection capacity in Saudi Arabia.
Stateless, always-on inline appliance deployed between the internet router and firewall to stop inbound DDoS, scanning and brute-force attacks and block outbound command-and-control traffic, with CDN-aware mitigation for origin infrastructure.
Network-wide DDoS detection and traffic visibility for service providers and large networks, using AI/ML behavioural analysis across backbone, peering, transit and customer edges to detect inbound and outbound attacks in seconds.
Surgical mitigation that filters malicious traffic while passing legitimate flows at any scale. It works with Sightline and Adaptive DDoS Protection, and version 9.14 adds Outbound Attack Response for compromised subscriber devices.
Fully managed, cloud-based DDoS protection with 16 scrubbing centres worldwide, including Dubai, and 33 Tbps of mitigation capacity, integrated with AED through cloud signalling and backed by a 24x7 security operations centre.
Automated, orchestrated DDoS protection that adds intelligent mitigation workflows to Sightline detection, simplifying incident response and enabling providers to offer differentiated managed security services to their customers.
AI and machine learning are embedded across the Arbor portfolio through Adaptive DDoS Protection, which analyses traffic to detect new attacks, classify their nature, recommend countermeasures and mitigate automatically. The ATLAS Intelligence Feed, derived from ATLAS visibility and ASERT analysis, continuously updates detection with indicators of compromise, geo-IP context and tracking of active DDoS campaigns.
In February 2025 NETSCOUT added AI/ML-powered source host misuse detection and automatic blocking of more than 65 known DDoS threat actors. In August 2026 Adaptive DDoS Protection was extended to identify and suppress outbound attacks from weaponised broadband and IoT devices, and Arbor Edge Defense gained TLS inspection to expose attack sources hidden behind shared CDN infrastructure.
Where Arbor Networks fits in the four-layer AI stack we bring to partners.
Explore the layerAED enhancements use a high-performance TLS transparent proxy to identify attack sources behind shared CDN infrastructure, apply service-specific countermeasures and protect origin applications, APIs and authentication services without replacing existing CDN investments.
Arbor Sightline and TMS now automatically detect and suppress malicious outbound traffic from weaponised broadband routers, cameras and IoT devices, allowing service providers to stop attacks before they leave the network and reduce transit costs.
NETSCOUT doubled Arbor Cloud DDoS mitigation capacity to keep critical digital services available during AI-driven, internet-scale attacks, with the hybrid design stopping attacks close to the source and absorbing volumetric attacks in the cloud.
Adaptive DDoS Protection for Arbor TMS gained an enhanced ATLAS Intelligence Feed with geo-IP mapping, automatic blocking of over 65 known DDoS threat actors, and AI/ML-powered source host misuse detection for infected hosts and IoT devices.
