Some forms of encryption technology can make identifying and blocking some threats more difficult.

DDoS attacks are cheaper than ever for attackers, lucrative for the attack service provider and financially and operationally crippling for the victim.

NETSCOUT has dropped its entire handheld network test (HNT) tools business and sold it to US investment firm StoneCalibre, which will then spin out HNT as a standalone company.

NETSCOUT has released its Arbor Active Threat Level Analysis System (ATLAS) report for the first half of 2018, exclusive on SecurityBrief.

The reality is that many of the DDoS attacks happening today are designed to disrupt - not to steal something.

NETSCOUT has made headway into the Australian DDoS security market after scoring a reseller agreement with local partner PlexNet.

We’ve all experienced the feeling of frustration, or even desperation, when the online services we expect are not available when we need them.

Incident response is too often an afterthought in the case of DDoS attacks. So, what does an effective Incident Response Plan look like?

Automation and managed services may be the key mechanisms for fighting distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

The company asserts when it comes to products that require face-to-face demonstrations, distributors and resellers often have their work cut out.

“Netscout has introduced a unique approach to providing visibility and security into hybrid environments."

The company says with more businesses providing Wi-Fi to customers and guests, it’s essential to have adequate troubleshooting capabilities.

"Network and security operation teams are fighting a multi-front WiFi security battle," says Netscout's Amit Rao.

Businesses with a large number of remote offices will naturally have a larger volume of remote networking issues.

According to Netscout, businesses today are consuming more data and compute resources than ever before.

Director of APAC channels at NETSCOUT, Amit Rao talks about trends in the IT industry and how the channel can capitalise on them.

“a delay of even a few seconds can be infuriating for end users and could indicate a performance issue that needs to be resolved.”

Mobile devices and internet access are prevalent and organisations need to be vigilant about how they plan, deploy and validate wi-fi connections.

After a decade away, Tim Murphy has returned to Arbor Networks to be in charge of channel initiatives and driving sales.

Wi-Fi-enabled devices can also still degrade performance when not connected via Wi-Fi.

WiFi networks need to protect sensitive data on customers, prospects, employees and intellectual property, and provide seamless, secure connectivity.

“Doing nothing is not an option, because the problems caused by any failure to lead and manage BYOD pose too big a risk."

"There’s little doubt that the IoT is having a major impact on business and dismissing it means that organisations will be left behind."

"Customer or user experience is intertwined with IT projects like cloud & Internet of Things to make sure they are supporting business expectations."
