WESTFORD, Mass. - NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a global leader in performance management, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, has announced an exciting new expansion of its Arbor Cloud DDoS attack mitigation network. The recent addition of a new scrubbing center in Toronto, Canada, marks a significant milestone for the company. This expansion brings the total number of scrubbing centers in the Arbor Cloud network to 16 worldwide, offering Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and enterprise customers an impressive total of over 15 terabits per second (Tbps) of dedicated attack mitigation capacity.
As the digital landscape grows increasingly complex and challenging, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have become a pervasive threat to businesses and organizations of all sizes. NETSCOUT’s Arbor Cloud provides robust protection against these malicious attacks, ensuring that customers can maintain service continuity and business operations without succumbing to downtime or data breaches.
The addition of the Toronto scrubbing center is particularly significant for Canadian businesses and organizations. By incorporating this new facility into their network, NETSCOUT aims to deliver enhanced, localized protection for the region. The expansion offers several key advantages:
’Increased Capacity and Redundancy:’ With 16 global scrubbing centers, NETSCOUT’s Arbor Cloud can offer more than 15 Tbps of attack mitigation capacity. This extensive global network ensures that large-scale DDoS attacks can be managed efficiently, minimizing the risk of service disruption.
’Improved Latency and Performance:’ By positioning a scrubbing center in Toronto, NETSCOUT reduces the distance data must travel for Canadian customers. This localized approach decreases latency and enhances overall network performance, crucial for maintaining seamless business operations in the face of potential threats.
’Enhanced Service for a Growing Market:’ The Canadian market is expanding rapidly, particularly in the tech and digital sectors. Localized scrubbing capabilities allow NETSCOUT to better serve this burgeoning market, offering scalable and tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of Canadian enterprises and ISPs.
’Comprehensive Coverage:’ NETSCOUT’s global reach, now extended further into North America, ensures that customers benefit from comprehensive DDoS protection regardless of their geographical location. This international coverage is pivotal in a world where cyber threats do not recognize borders.
Tom Lyons, Vice President of Product Management at NETSCOUT, emphasized the significance of this expansion: Our ability to rapidly expand the Arbor Cloud network is driven by the growing needs of our customers, who face increasingly sophisticated and persistent DDoS attacks. Adding Toronto to our list of scrubbing centers allows us to provide unparalleled protection and performance for our Canadian customers and strengthens our global capabilities.
For businesses in Canada and beyond, this expansion represents a robust commitment from NETSCOUT to safeguarding digital infrastructure. By continuing to invest in global mitigation capabilities, NETSCOUT ensures not only the security of its clients but also the resilience of a digitally dependent global economy.
