Arbor DDoS Primary Use Case

SB
Product Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

Our company uses a platform to render the solution to our customers and ensure quality service. We build the solution based on our data centers and infrastructure and then deliver an ID appliance to the customer that communicates with our routers and network. The solution provides flow spec protection and prevents volumetric DDoS attacks.

Sr. Security Engineer at Rackspace

We're a hosting company and, in this industry, it's inevitable that you're going to be attacked. We originally purchased the product back in early 2000 for the SQL monitoring. Over the years, DDoS has become a nuisance for other companies we're hosting as well. We had originally purchased it just for internal use, and to predict our own internal infrastructure. But we found an avenue to offer it to our customers as well. It has just grown from there.

It's on-prem to protect our own infrastructure, as well as in the product that we sell to our customers to protect their services. We have a hybrid as well, as we use Arbor Cloud to protect our company's major assets if needed, as a type of over-capacity swing-over.

We are not using it in our organization. I'm working for a system integrator, and we have implemented this solution for our customers. Our customers use it as the out-of-path DDoS protector and to reroute the traffic through BGP to TMS to clean the traffic and put back the clean traffic.

Sr. Manager at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees

It is our ISP, from where we get our internet traffic. We just send it to them and if anything is suspicious or there is some malicious traffic, we talk to them about what kind of traffic it is. If some machine or some router is being attacked by a malicious user, we try to find out the source IP and why this traffic is coming to us. The Arbor solution is deployed on their premises. We just ask them to control or just stop that traffic. They do the filtration. They provide us all the required details to mitigate an attack on any particular machine.

General Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

We are a telecom service provider. We provide services to our enterprise customers in India and compliment these services with security layer as a part of our security services.

Being a part of the solution design team, I have been interacting with customers and creating solutions for them to fulfill their requirements. One of the products that we have in our offerings portfolio is around security, which is complimenting our connectivity portfolio. We provide this from Arbor platform, which we have deployed in our network. We have taken the hybrid model from Arbor, and there was a physical installation done in two of the gateways of the country. If the mitigation capacity goes beyond the subscribed boxes, then the Arbor Cloud subscription usage hits and mitigation would be done accordingly.

We have deployed Arbor platform and for our customers, we offer it as a managed service from our network. There are also customers looking for on-premise deployment. 

We are using Arbor's hybrid approach for our overall product build. We have on-premise deployment, however, beyond that we have taken the Arbor Cloud subscription, which is really useful because you secure yourself for anything beyond your current mitigation capacity. This is a really good feature of Arbor that is available.

My company is a quad-play operator service provider in Malta. We use it for our own internal infrastructure and clients, where we use both always-on and on-demand.

Our partner has an in-house deployment and can upload it to the cloud as well. This helps to minimize the costs. With in-house deployment, the cost will increase significantly. So, this hybrid approach is advantageous.

As an operator, we use Arbor antiDDoS system to protect our backbone, protecting the network and our assets like DNS.I'm involved in the validation and testing of the solution. 

The solution is installed in our lab, with a simulated full network. We can send some regular traffic as well as DDOS traffic, using some testing tools like IXIA system and opensource tools. 

For testing, we simulate some regular traffic, as background traffic, and we added some attacks on the network with attack tools. We can monitor what's sent to the network, and we can monitor what's received by the victim. In this case, we can assess which part of the attack was stopped by the system.

Arbor DDoS helps consolidate visibility on traffic and on DDOS attacks attempts. It can perform direct mitigation action on the network, which is important. It has also helped us achieve our network and application uptime goals.

We're a managed service provider as well as an internet service provider. We use it to protect our core network from DDoS attacks, and by protecting our core network we can also protect our end customers.

We're in the process of migrating to the newest version, currently. We use the solution in our physical environment, but we also take advantage of their cloud offering.

SP
Network Architect at DQE Communications

Using the Arbor SP Insight allows the detection of DDoS attacks coming in from upstream internet providers. The system provides a central analysis to detect DDoS attacks and allow reporting on internet traffic. This along with the TMS physical off-ramp mitigation platform allows us to redirect the inbound attack traffic via BGP. The offramp TMS effectively separates attack traffic from the main path used during normal operation. The system provides attack mitigation for both internal infrastructure and downstream customer services.

HR
Senior Project Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

We have captured a profile for every production group which has a server-type configuration. We also enable signaling. If there is a huge amount of traffic, it will indicate that to us. Accordingly, we will inform them to take action or whatever. We will determine whether it is legitimate or not based on the requirements.

There is a given bandwidth for any organization, an expected amount of traffic at a given point of time. If it sees more than the traffic which we are expecting at a given point of time, it could be an anomaly. We will then check internally whether a download or upload is happening, etc. Normally, if it sees a huge amount of traffic at the same time, then automated cloud signaling will be enabled and, automatically, the traffic will be dropped.

Security Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

Our primary use case is developing threshold values for all groups. We use it to analyze packets to build a use-case for when a server group hits the limit of incoming traffic. In such a case we suspect traffic.

We use it to build use-case scenarios, based on the server input and a client's requirements. Some clients have a number of users accessing a given server which affects the bandwidth. In each case, we need to tell DDoS what is considered legitimate traffic.

Security Consultant with 51-200 employees

I work at the service provider level. I did a deployment at a multinational telecommunications company. They have network separation, and each network has its own SP which is a controller, the "mind" of the solution, and multiple TMS's, which are the scrubbing centers for the illegal traffic. They are forwarding suspected denial-of-service traffic to the scrubbing centers, based on the SP intelligence. It will scrub the data and forward it to the normal traffic after mitigating the denial-of-service attack.
