NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC, a leader in cybersecurity and DDoS attack protection, has upgraded its Arbor® Threat Mitigation System [TMS] Adaptive DDoS Protection with enhanced AI/ML features to better detect and block malicious traffic.
DDoS attacks on critical IT infrastructure have surged by 55% over four years. They were driven by AI automation, DDoS-for-hire services, IoT botnets, and geopolitical tensions. These attacks are becoming more sophisticated and damaging. Organizations need AI/ML-powered solutions that continuously adapt to evolving threats to protect their networks.
“With AI-driven attacks, ransomware, and nation-state threats impacting corporate governance, financial performance, and customer trust, corporate boards expect their IT teams to be proactive in adapting to emerging threats like DDoS,” said Chris Steffen, Vice President of Research – Information Security, Enterprise Management Associates. “Implementing solutions that can adapt to threats helps minimise that risk.”
NETSCOUT’s approach combines AI/ML-powered cloud analysis with software-based security solutions. By analyzing 550 Tbps of internet traffic almost half of global traffic. NETSCOUT ensures its security systems quickly detect and block attacks with high accuracy.

The latest update improves Geo-IP tracking for faster threat identification and integrates data on 65+ active DDoS attack groups, including NoName057 and RipperSec.
A new AI/ML-powered detection system now tracks compromised devices and misbehaving subscribers, helping network operators identify and block internal threats before they escalate. Additionally, TMS Source Mitigations allow operators to isolate specific attack sources without disrupting entire networks.
Service providers benefit from NETSCOUT’s updates with improved protection, reduced downtime, and new revenue opportunities. Scott Nichols, Chief Commercial Officer at Arelion, emphasized the importance of advanced DDoS protection in ensuring high-quality services for customers.
