Arbor Networks launches Spectrum(tm)
February 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Arbor Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT, introduces a new security
platform for advanced threat protection. Arbor Networks Spectrum(tm) is
designed specifically for security teams, from the most senior responder to novice
analysts, to search the entire network to uncover, investigate and prove
sophisticated attack campaigns within minutes, not hours or days.
By integrating intuitive "speed of thought" workflows and Arbor’s unique visibility
into threat actor activity happening on the global Internet, Arbor Spectrum uncovers
the internal conversations and lateral movement of attackers on customer networks to
reduce business risk from advanced cyber-threats.
Active Threat Level Analysis System (ATLAS) is a global collaborative platform with
more than 300 Arbor service provider customers sharing traffic and threat data,
giving Arbor visibility into approximately one-third of all Internet traffic.
Arbor’s Security Engineering & Response Team (ASERT) utilises a combination of ATLAS information, in-depth malware research and data from real-time botnet activity
monitoring to understand current threats. ASERT knows when an attack is launched
immediately, and what data the attackers are receiving back, enabling Arbor to
provide much needed risk context. Through this unique global lens, Arbor allows
defenders to move at the same speed as the attackers regardless of where and whom
they are targeting.
Arbor Networks Spectrum integrates ATLAS global threat intelligence with real-time
visual workflows and analytics of all network and threat activity, past and present.
Arbor Networks Spectrum platform instruments flow and performs packet capture,
allowing defenders to surface and then search to detect, investigate and prove
threats within and across the network.
