NETSCOUT Unveils AI-Powered Enhancements to DDoS Defense Solutions to Combat Rising Cyber Threats

New features in Arbor Edge Defense and Enterprise Manager boost automation, visibility, and protection across enterprise networks

Bengaluru | August 1: NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a global leader in observability, AIOps, and cybersecurity solutions, today announced advanced AI-powered enhancements to its Arbor Edge Defense and Arbor Enterprise Manager solutions, marking a major step forward in helping enterprises defeat evolving Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) threats.

Backed by the company’s industry-leading ATLAS Intelligence Feed, the updates leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate DDoS threat detection and mitigation, significantly enhancing defense mechanisms while simplifying operations for IT and security teams.

Real-Time Protection at Global Scale

NETSCOUT’s ATLAS platform monitors over 700 Tbps of Internet traffic across 500+ ISPs and 2,000+ enterprises in 100+ countries, representing roughly 50% of global Internet activity at any given time. This extensive data pipeline fuels AI-driven insights that enable NETSCOUT solutions to preemptively block up to 80% of DDoS attacks without requiring further analysis.

“The growing sophistication of online threats and increased use of AI/ML in launching attacks necessitate equally intelligent defense strategies,” said Chris Rodriguez, Research Director for Security and Trust at IDC. According to IDC’s April 2025 research, 41% of enterprises experienced damages exceeding $100,000 due to cyber incidents, while 5% reported losses over $1 million.

Key Enhancements Include:

• Scoped user access for improved data segmentation and role-based visibility across multi-site environments
• Automated detection and mitigation of IP protocol flooding attacks
• A revamped DDoS dashboard offering deeper threat visibility and real-time operational control
• Automated, on-demand reporting tools to streamline inter-team communication and response

“We’re helping customers intelligently automate their defenses,” said Scott Iekel-Johnson, Area Vice President, DDoS and Threat Intelligence at NETSCOUT. “Our focus remains on adaptive protection that keeps pace with the rapidly evolving threat landscape.”

Strengthening Cyber Resilience

These upgrades are part of NETSCOUT’s broader Adaptive DDoS Protection strategy, designed to empower organizations with scalable, intelligent, and responsive cybersecurity frameworks.

With enterprises increasingly vulnerable to AI-generated attacks, NETSCOUT’s latest offerings present a timely and comprehensive solution to bolster network resilience, application availability, and business continuity.
