FlexITy Announces Partnership with the Gold Winner for Security Industry's Global Excellence Awards, Arbor Networks


(Canada Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RICHMOND HILL, ON, April 23, 2013 /CNW/ - FlexITy Solutions Inc, a leading Unified Communications and Collaboration solutions provider, announced today that it has added Arbor Networks, a global provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, to its select portfolio of technology partners.



Founded in 2000, Arbor Networks has focused exclusively on researching, detecting and mitigating network-based threats. Arbor's customers include the vast majority of the world's service providers and many of the largest hosting, cloud providers and enterprise networks in use today. According to the most recent DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook report from Infonetics Research, Arbor was cited as top supplier of DDoS prevention solutions overall as well as in the Carrier, Enterprise and Mobile market segments.  Arbor was recently recognized as Best Security Company at the 2013 Info Security Products Guide Awards in San Francisco. Arbor Networks® Enterprise Solution Arbor's Pravail enterprise solutions addresses a broad array of threats, including DDoS, malware, botnets, advanced and insider and BYOD challenges.

Arbor's Pravail APS represents a new type of on-premise security solution, focused on helping to secure the enterprise perimeter from threats to the availability of a business' applications and services -- in essence, its livelihood. Pravail APS specifically helps protect against application-layer distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and was built to stop attacks promptly without upfront configuration or any user interaction. It delivers DDoS attack identification and mitigation capabilities that can be rapidly deployed, even during an attack. Enterprises can also integrate Pravail APS upstream with their service providers' DDoS protection services to help stop volumetric DDoS attacks.


Pravail NSI monitors network traffic data and uses advanced analytics to help organizations close the security gaps left by firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). It looks inside the network and delivers the situational awareness required to identify advanced threats, internal network misuse or abuse, and also infected mobile devices connected to the network. With Pravail NSI, Arbor has created a platform for delivering the actionable security intelligence that is critical for identifying and stopping attacks.
