Peakflow® X - Internal Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
Peakflow® SP
"Great architecture and an effective post deployment threat response system that automatically updates against new and future attacks are possibly the best assurances any enterprises can ask when they want their corporate networks protected best. Arbor Networks takes IPS to the next level by ensuring that they continue to support their customers proactively. Security products become obsolete in just a few days unless they are updated against newer threats and if their architectures were designed to support such updates."

What makes Arbor Networks an Info Security Hot Company 2006
Products & Technologies
Great Architecture - Arbor's solutions are built upon the Peakflow® Platform, an architecture for network-wide data collection, analysis, and anomaly detection. This unique Platform creates models of normal network behavior from the edge through the core by analyzing flow statistics, such as Cisco’s NetFlow, or raw packet data. Then, in real time, it compares traffic against these baselines to perform network anomaly detection.
Threat Management - Arbor Networks is the only security company to provide enterprises with a threat response service that automatically updates corporate customer networks with behavioral fingerprints of new cyber threats — Arbor's Active Threat Feed (ATF) service gives network operators an instant identification of emerging threats that are targeting their company's network.

Potential & Strategies
Protection - Arbor's Peakflow security solutions have successfully protected corporations and government agencies from the most devastating network worms of the past few years: Bagle, Blaster, Netsky, SQL Slammer, MyDoom, Sapphire, Sasser, Welchia, and Zotob.
Industry Relations - Arbor also employs security experts, including renowned authors on the latest worms and security concerns. Most recently Arbor employees have published research with IEEE called “The Blaster Worm: Then and Now.” Arbor Networks, in cooperation with the Internet network security operations community, also recently completed the first of an ongoing series of operational security surveys. The data sets provided in this survey represent real-world concerns, as opposed to often speculated theoretical attack vectors. The findings from this survey were intended to help network operators better understand the security landscape and make informed decisions about their use of network security technology to protect their mission-critical infrastructure.
Global Initiatives - Arbor Networks also founded the first and only global Fingerprint Sharing Alliance, an industry initiative that helps service providers worldwide automatically share cyber attack fingerprints, enabling them to stop worldwide Internet attacks faster and closer to their source.
Arbor's strategic technology partners include Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, IBM, and Check Point.
