"We are gratified to be recognized by Network Products Guide as it reaffirms our position in the industry as an innovator and thought leader," said Arbor Networks President Colin Doherty. "Arbor is addressing some critical problems from denial of service attacks to the broader advanced threat landscape.

Arbor is focused exclusively on researching, detecting and mitigating network-based threats and is best known for its pervasive footprint in service provider networks.

Arbor's Pravail APS is the first on-premise enterprise security product focused on securing the network perimeter from threats against availability -- specifically, application-layer DDoS attacks.
