Arbor Networks announced last week that Frost & Sullivan has awarded the company the 2014 Global DDoS Mitigation Market Leadership Award.

Frost & Sullivan recently published its most comprehensive analysis of the DDoS mitigation market to date, examining key market drivers, the evolving threat landscape and providing recommendations on the top DDoS mitigation suppliers in the industry. The report also "strongly advised" enterprises to consider a "hybrid and layered approach" to DDoS defense. Based on the research and analysis that went into the report, Frost & Sullivan recognised Arbor Networks with the 2014 Global DDoS Mitigation Market Leadership Award.

"Arbor Networks has built a strong association between its brand and best-of-breed DDoS mitigation. This brand name strength is based on Arbor Networks' expertise in DDoS mitigation and years of experience researching and analysing DDoS attacks, including blended and sophisticated attacks," said Frost & Sullivan network security analyst Chris Rodriguez. "With Arbor Cloud, the company is delivering a tightly integrated, multi-layered solution to today's increasingly dangerous DDoS problem. We strongly advise businesses that have an acute need for availability of business critical websites and applications to consider a hybrid defense."

"Arbor Networks provides DDoS protection for the world's most complex and demanding networks across the ISP, cloud/hosting and enterprise markets. No vendor has our experience or in-house expertise mitigating today's most complex attacks. Our proven solutions and operational experience is backed by fanatical service and support. If your organisation has business critical web properties and applications that absolutely must maintain availability, you need to talk to Arbor Networks," said Arbor Networks President Matthew Moynahan. "We are grateful to Frost & Sullivan for recognising our continued innovation and excellence in the area of DDoS mitigation."
