Case Study: Frost & Sullivan achieves enhanced DDoS protection and business continuity with NETSCOUT

Frost & Sullivan - Customer Case Study

Arbor Networks’ solution brief addresses the growing business risk posed by modern DDoS attacks. Arbor warns that attacks have evolved into multi‑vector, application‑layer and state‑exhaustion campaigns that can be used throughout an advanced‑attack kill chain, and that many organizations wrongly rely on firewalls, IPS or cloud scale alone. This “never happen to me” mindset, combined with more cloud‑based services and larger attack surfaces, leaves finance, gaming, education and online marketing firms exposed to costly downtime, slow mitigation and hidden advanced threats.

Arbor recommends a hybrid approach combining on‑premise visibility and fast controls with cloud‑scale mitigation informed by ATLAS threat intelligence, plus better integration, processes and escalation paths. Customers that adopted this model gained real‑time traffic visibility, faster detection and handoffs, and scalable diversion when needed—reducing peak‑hour outages and lost revenue, accelerating incident response, improving board‑level buy‑in, and strengthening protection of business‑critical applications.
