Case Study: American Water achieves continuous service availability and DDoS protection with NETSCOUT

American Water - Customer Case Study

Arbor Networks helps enterprises protect network availability and brand reputation against evolving threats such as DDoS, botnets, stealthy application-layer attacks, advanced persistent threats and insider misuse—challenges amplified by BYOD and cloud adoption that outpace traditional perimeter defenses.

Arbor’s layered portfolio—Pravail APS for availability protection, Pravail NSI for internal security intelligence, Peakflow SP for visibility into cloud and internet connections, Cloud Signaling for coordinated DDoS mitigation, and the global ATLAS threat intelligence—detects and blocks attacks in real time and restores control over cloud services. Customers report measurable gains in uptime and cost savings; for example, American Water realized more than $1 million in combined operational savings after deployment.
