New Delhi : Arbor Networks, Inc. was identified as the top supplier of DDoS mitigation appliances overall, as well as in the Carrier, Enterprise and Mobile market segments,  according to a new report from Infonetics Research.

According to Infonetics, the combination of very high volume attacks driven by the use of reflection/amplification techniques, and the increasing sophistication and frequency of application-layer attacks, has significance for everyone, but particularly large enterprises and mid-sized cloud and hosting providers. Service providers continue to purchase DDoS solutions to protect their own infrastructure, and many carriers around the globe are buying DDoS products to build out managed services for their customers.

“The opportunity to make a capital investment in on-premises DDoS mitigation to deal with the cluster of lower-bandwidth attacks, and then hand off larger attacks to a dedicated cloud provider will drive both adoption of hybrid solutions and sales of hardware at the lower end of the market. Arbor has been the DDoS mitigation product market leader for more than a decade, and capitalized on the move to hybrid when they launched their Arbor Cloud multi-layered service. Despite a rapidly changing market, their business continues to be quite strong in all segments they play in,” said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst with Infonetics Research.

“The DDoS market has gone through a transformation in recent years, not only in the attacks themselves, but also in terms of the type and number of vendors offering DDoS solutions. Arbor has been in this market for more than a dozen years, we have maintained our leadership position, something we’re quite proud of. We have deep relationships with the world’s largest network operators across the service provider, cloud hosting and enterprise markets, and some of the most knowledgeable people on the planet working every day on this issue. We’ll continue to innovate and deliver solutions that meet customer needs across all markets,” said Arbor Networks President Matthew Moynahan.
