Case Study: Major SaaS Payment Provider Achieves DDoS Protection and Continuous Availability with NETSCOUT's Arbor Edge Defense

SaaS Provider of Payment Processing Solutions Protects Business from DDoS Attacks with Arbor Edge Defense

A global SaaS provider of payment processing and financial applications struggled with poor visibility into volumetric and application‑layer attacks. A DDoS incident once disrupted critical services for nearly half a day, preventing customers from processing payments and reconciling transactions, and their existing WAF and security tools failed to detect or mitigate the threat.

They deployed NETSCOUT’s Arbor Edge Defense (with a Hardware Security Module), gaining stateless perimeter enforcement, inbound and outbound protection, and ATLAS threat intelligence to block reputation‑based IoCs in bulk. The solution restored visibility, stopped ongoing and new DDoS and botnet activity, reduced pressure on stateful devices, and protected application availability — lowering operational risk and safeguarding customer revenue.
