Arbor Networks announced that the Threat Management System (TMS) that provides carrier-class, deep packet inspection, has been met with broad market acceptance by service providers because of its ability to identify and stop distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks without interrupting the flow of legitimate traffic. Additionally, TMS is an ideal platform for service providers who are looking to offer revenue generating managed security services to their enterprise customers.

Arbor’s Peakflow SP platform currently protects more than 70% of the world’s Internet service provider (ISP) networks from security threats, such as DDoS attacks, botnets and worms, as well as network issues such as traffic and routing instability. With the integrated Threat Management System, the Peakflow SP platform is unique in its ability to detect, analyze and mitigate threats across entire ISP networks, a combination that delivers significant operational savings by consolidating multiple tools while decreasing operator response time to debilitating network attacks.

Integrated: Part of a comprehensive, fully integrated solution for cost effective threat detection and mitigation.

Surgical Mitigation: Automatically identify and remove only attack traffic without interrupting the flow of legitimate business traffic. Application-aware: Complements pervasive network visibility with deep packet inspection of critical applications such as DNS, HTTP, VoIP, IM and P2P.
