Key Features

• Inline DDoS Protection
  o Detects and mitigates volumetric, TCP state-exhaustion, and application-layer attacks.
  o Works automatically, always-on, with minimal operator intervention.
• Threat Intelligence Gateway
  o Blocks known malicious IPs and command-and-control communications.
  o Ingests ATLAS® intelligence feeds and customer-specific blacklists.
• Outbound Threat Blocking
  o Stops compromised internal hosts from participating in botnets or data exfiltration.
  o Protects reputation and prevents secondary compromise.
• Fast Deployment
  o Drops into the network edge with minimal configuration.
  o Complements existing firewalls, IDS/IPS, and security stacks.
• Integration & Automation
  o REST APIs for SOC/NOC automation.
  o Reporting dashboards for DDoS events, blocked threats, and compliance.

Benefits for the Client

• Protect stateful devices – offloads DDoS floods from firewalls, IPS, and load balancers.
  
• Stop attacks at the edge – block malicious traffic before it enters the enterprise.
  
• Contain compromised hosts – prevent outbound C2 or DDoS participation.
  
• Rapid time-to-value – simple to deploy inline at Internet edges.
  
• Lower operational burden – automated, always-on protection.

Why AED is Different ?

• Purpose-built edge defense – not a general-purpose firewall, but optimized for DDoS and threat intelligence.
  
• Dual-direction protection – inbound (DDoS) + outbound (C2/malware) coverage.
  
• Powered by ATLAS® intelligence – leveraging visibility from 400+ carriers worldwide.
  
• Complements existing security – reduces load on NGFW, IPS, WAF, and SIEM.
  
• Always-on defense – designed to run continuously, not just on-demand.

Typical Use Cases

• Enterprise Internet edge protection against DDoS floods.
• Shielding firewalls and VPN concentrators from volumetric attacks.
• Enforcing threat intelligence to block malicious IPs at ingress.
• Preventing compromised internal machines from exfiltrating data.
• Complementing Arbor Hybrid DDoS Protection in a layered defense.
