Case Study: American Telecommunications Company achieves unified edge DDoS protection and improved customer experience with NETSCOUT

Two DDoS Mitigation Options; One Secure Solution

An American telecommunications company that had just completed a merger needed to unify two different DDoS mitigation approaches: a centralized scrubbing model (high capacity but added latency) and an edge-based strategy (immediate traffic removal but broader deployment effort). Executives sought a single strategy that would protect the combined networks without degrading customer experience.

Working with NETSCOUT, the company chose an orchestrated edge defense using Sightline, Threat Mitigation System and Sentinel orchestration, which reduced load on the core network, increased mitigation capacity, and modernized protections. The deployment protected both networks through the merger and delivered improved reliability, predictability and faster access for customers.
