The cybersecurity industry is expanding its capacity and intelligence capabilities to combat large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. NETSCOUT recently doubled its Arbor Cloud DDoS mitigation capacity to 33 terabits per second, utilizing 16 global scrubbing centres to defend against mega-botnets and multi-vector attacks.

In response to evolving threats, firms are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence into their defense mechanisms. Corero Network Security launched AI-Augmented Cloud-Assist for its SmartWall ONE platform, which uses cloud-delivered AI analysis to identify emerging attack behaviors and generate protection policies rapidly. Concurrently, NETSCOUT received industry recognition from QKS Group for its Arbor platform, specifically for its ability to provide scalable mitigation across hybrid and cloud environments.
