A10 Networks Unveils Cyber Threat Defense Strategy

The prevalence and sophistication of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are on the rise, influenced by DDoS-for-hire services, hacktivism, and geopolitical factors, collectively contributing to the growing cyber threat landscape. According to Gartner®, DDoS attacks are projected to become the most prevalent form of cyberattacks in the near future. Furthermore, threat actors are increasingly harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to augment the effectiveness of DDoS attacks. In response to this evolving cyber threat landscape, innovative approaches are needed to fortify DDoS defenses, incorporating AI to proactively anticipate multi-vector attacks.

A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) has introduced the A10 Defend security portfolio to assist customers in safeguarding their networks and applications, meeting uptime requirements, exceeding customer expectations, and enhancing secure user experiences. This comprehensive product suite establishes a strong foundation for growth, featuring cutting-edge DDoS protection with AI-driven zero-day detection capabilities, analytics, and preemptive DDoS threat intelligence to guard against new and previously unidentified threats.

Advanced, Comprehensive DDoS Defense with A10 Defend

The A10 Networks solution portfolio now includes A10 Defend Detector, available for immediate use. A10 Defend Detector provides early-warning capabilities, enabling more effective and sophisticated threat mitigation, empowering customers to erect DDoS defenses before attacks materialize. When combined with A10 Defend Orchestrator and A10 Defend Mitigator, A10 Networks offers scalable and efficient automated DDoS defenses, ideal for even the most demanding service provider and enterprise environments.

A10 is presently conducting early trials with enterprise clients for its DDoS threat intelligence service, which will be integrated into the solution portfolio. A10’s security research team is already monitoring over 15.4 million DDoS weapons globally. The DDoS threat intelligence service builds upon this expertise, delivering advanced DDoS intelligence characterized by depth, accuracy, and proactivity. It is set to be available in the early part of the upcoming year.
