Netscout Arbor Edge Defense (AED) solution is an inline security appliance deployed at the network perimeter. AED’s unique position on the network edge combined with its stateless packet processing engine enables it to automatically detect and stop both inbound threats and outbound communication from internal compromised hosts — essentially acting as the first and last line of defense for organizations while removing the load from stateful enforcement devices such as NGFW or IPS. AED’s ability to receive aggregated threat intelligence from ThreatQ via STIX/TAXII, allows organizations to maximize their Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) investment while staying informed on the latest threats. Additionally, integration with Rest APIs and CEF/LEEF syslog support allow for deeper integration and automation with any security stack.
