NETSCOUT expands Adaptive DDoS Protection with outbound attack mitigation

Netscout extended its Adaptive DDoS Protection solution to detect and block outbound DDoS attack traffic originating from compromised customer devices. The enhancement allows service providers to prevent botnet-infected subscribers from launching attacks that consume network capacity and target third parties.

Why it matters: Internet service providers and network operators need visibility and control over compromised IoT and home devices that pose financial and reputational risk when weaponized by botnets.

NETSCOUT expands Adaptive DDoS Protection with outbound attack mitigation

Netscout expanded its Adaptive DDoS Protection solution to detect and block outbound distributed denial of service (DDoS) traffic from service provider networks. The capability helps prevent compromised subscriber devices, such as routers and Internet of Things (IoT) cameras, from launching attacks against external targets while consuming network capacity. The enhancement targets threats from botnets such as Turbo-Mirai that weaponize consumer devices.

Why it matters: Service providers and network operators need outbound filtering to stop compromised customer devices from amplifying attacks and degrading their own infrastructure and that of downstream organizations.

NETSCOUT expands Adaptive DDoS Protection with outbound attack mitigation

Netscout announced an extension to its Adaptive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection solution that detects and blocks outbound attack traffic originating from compromised subscriber devices. The capability enables service providers to prevent their networks from being used as sources of DDoS attacks and to stop botnets like Turbo-Mirai from commandeering consumer routers, cameras, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Why it matters: Internet service providers and network operators need outbound attack detection to prevent their infrastructure from amplifying botnet activity, reducing wasted capacity and protecting downstream customers from secondary attacks.
