Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of security and network
management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks,
announced today that Tata Communications (NYSE: TCL), a leading
provider of a new world of communications, has joined Arbor's Cloud
Signaling(SM) Coalition (CSC). The CSC is an innovative partnership
between service providers, data center operators and enterprises
with the mission to ensure the availability of their network
infrastructure and speed time-to-mitigation for distributed denial
of service (DDoS) attacks.
"Tata Communications has a globally distributed, cloud-based
DDoS detection and mitigation infrastructure that protects our
customers' IT infrastructures from being blocked from the web. That
infrastructure is working for our customers 24x7," said Eric
Hemmendinger, head of product management for managed security
services, Tata Communications. "Many of our customers are
experiencing application-layer DDoS attacks that are just as
dangerous as traditional network-layer volumetric attacks, and
these are often most effectively mitigated at the edge of the
customer's network with the Pravail device, which is seamlessly
integrated with our network-based infrastructure through Arbor's
Cloud Signaling Coalition. With Pravail and the Cloud Signaling
Coalition, we are expanding our capabilities to protect our
customers and extending Tata Communications' leadership position in
managed security services."
Cloud Signaling(SM)
Functionality: A faster, automated way to provide
comprehensive DDoS Mitigation At the heart of Cloud Signaling
functionality are the Arbor Peakflow® SP and Pravail® Availability
Protection System (APS) solutions. Peakflow SP powers many of the
world's leading cloud-based DDoS managed security services, while
Arbor's Pravail Availability Protection System (APS) is an
on-premise device that protects the data center edge against
threats to availability -- specifically, protection against
application-layer distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
Cloud Signaling is an efficient and integrated way of bridging the
enterprise data center to the service provider cloud. Cloud
Signaling connects the on-premise Pravail APS device with the
cloud-based Peakflow SP solution, helping to ensure the
availability of data center infrastructures and speed
time-to-mitigation for DDoS attacks. Arbor believes that the best
way for enterprises, data centers and cloud operators to have
optimal protection against DDoS attacks is through this combination
of on-premise and in-cloud protection.
Cloud Signaling Coalition: How does it
work? When an enterprise or data center
operator discovers that they are under a service-disrupting DDoS
attack, they can choose to mitigate the attack in the cloud by
triggering an alert to upstream infrastructure of their service
provider's network. A volumetric DDoS attack congesting the
upstream links would immediately diminish or disappear altogether
from the data center's access links, and service availability would
be protected. Participation in the Cloud Signaling Coalition allows
the service provider to provide differentiated managed security
services, reduces the time to mitigation and increases the
effectiveness of the response against DDoS threats, thus saving the
customer from major operational expenses and helping to preserve
its reputation. Enterprise and data center customers also benefit
from real time monitoring of the attack mitigation, as well as
granular post mortem reports with details of the attack and the
steps taken by the service provider to mitigate the attack, keeping
them in control and in command of the event.
"Arbor has worked with Tata Communications for many years,
helping to secure its network and enabling it to deliver profitable
in-cloud managed security services. With the Cloud Signaling
capability, we are bringing together all stakeholders to address
the DDoS threat to availability in a comprehensive, automated
manner. Having a global telecommunications leader such as Tata
Communications join the CSC is a great validation of Arbor's
position as a solution supplier and trusted partner," says Arbor
Networks president Colin Doherty.
