Case Study: Frost & Sullivan achieves immediate DDoS detection and major downtime reduction with NETSCOUT (Arbor Networks APS)

Frost & Sullivan - Customer Case Study

A leading European gaming company that must maintain 24/7 availability was hit by recurring, volumetric DDoS attacks (300 Mbps–3.5 Gbps), typically on Sunday afternoons. Despite a managed protection service, slow detection and response led to platform slowdowns, costly downtime (£80k–£160k per incident) and serious revenue and reputational risk.

The company deployed Arbor Networks APS on‑premises, giving rapid, baseline-driven detection, automated mitigation, real‑time visibility and flexible countermeasures. As a result, attacks are identified and blocked far faster, downtime and losses have fallen dramatically, and the firm now experiences far fewer follow‑on attacks as attackers abandon ineffective targets.
