Arbor Cloud’s on-premise component – NETSCOUT AED or Arbor Availability Protection System (APS) – provide always-on, in-line, stateless, packet-based DDoS attack detection and mitigation. The AED/APS can detect and stop all types of DDoS attacks. However, in the event of a large volumetric DDoS attack that will overwhelm internet-facing circuits and local protection, using a powerful feature called “Cloud Signaling™” the AED/APS can automatically notify and reroute attack traffic to an appropriate Arbor Cloud scrubbing location where the attack is mitigated. The combination of AED/APS on-premise, Cloud Signaling, and Arbor Cloud offers the most comprehensive protection from the modern-day DDoS attack.
