Arbor Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT), announced today that Frost & Sullivan has awarded the company the Asia Pacific DDoS Mitigation Market Leadership Award.

The contenders for the Frost & Sullivan Asia-Pacific ICT Awards were evaluated on a variety of market performance indicators which include revenue growth, leadership in product innovation, breadth of products and solutions, major customer acquisitions and business and market strategy.

“Arbor Networks’ continuous technological innovations and commitment to help businesses combat sophisticated DDoS attacks continues to resonate well in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly among Telcos, internet service providers, managed security service providers and businesses in the finance industry,” said Mr. Vu Anh Tien, Industry Analyst, Cyber Security, Asia-Pacific at Frost & Sullivan.

“Arbor provides a holistic approach for DDoS protection, offering customers a broad range of solutions with comprehensive capabilities of attack detection and mitigation. In addition, the capabilities to provide customers with country-specific threat intelligence, strong industry expertise and support for its partners and customers has enabled it to gain even stronger popularity among regional businesses,” he added.

“We’re honored to be chosen by Frost & Sullivan for this recognition as the leading on-premise DDoS solution supplier for Asia-Pacific. This award recognizes both the great team we have at Arbor, as well as our regional partners who are so critical to our success,” said Jeff Buhl, Arbor Networks Vice President for Asia-Pacific.

DDoS Mitigation Market Drivers
According to Frost & Sullivan, as the value of web and internet connectivity increases among businesses, the importance of a DDoS mitigation solution also intensifies. DDoS attacks range in effectiveness, complexity, size, frequency and duration, making DDoS attacks difficult to anticipate, prepare for, detect and mitigate without specialized solutions.
