Arbor Networks Joins Cisco AVVID Partner Program; Peakflow DoS 1.6 Meets Cisco AVVID Program Requirements for Interoperability.Business/Technology Editors WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 2, 2002 Arbor arbor Garden shelter providing privacy and partial protection from the weather, most commonly a lightweight, latticed framework (trellis) of wood or metal with interlaced branches of vines or climbing shrubs trained over it. Networks today announced that it has joined the Cisco AVVID AVVID Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data (Cisco) AVVID Architecture for Voice Video and Integrated Data (Architecture for Voice and Video Integrated Data) Partner Program as a Security and Virtual Private Network Solutions member. Through membership in the Cisco AVVID partner program, Arbor's Peakflow DoS 1.6 provides a distributed, scalable, non-intrusive solution that enables large enterprises to quickly detect and counter network availability threats such as denial of service attacks An assault on a network that floods it with so many additional requests that regular traffic is either slowed or completely interrupted. Unlike a virus or worm, which can cause severe damage to databases, a denial of service attack interrupts network service for some period. and worm propagation. The Cisco AVVID Partner Program sets criteria for interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. testing by independent third parties and is a co-marketing program enabling leading product and services firms to deploy innovative e-business solutions. The program provides enterprise customers with information regarding Cisco AVVID Partner products and services that an independent testing facility has tested, verified and found to interoperate See interoperable. with a specified version of Cisco networking technology in the SAFE security blueprint. The SAFE security blueprint provides a comprehensive security strategy for Cisco AVVID networks and utilizes the critical security technologies required to mitigate threats throughout an enterprise's e-business infrastructure. Arbor Networks' Peakflow DoS 1.6 product meets the Cisco AVVID Partner Program requirements for interoperability with Cisco 7200 series routers running the 12.0(19) S Cisco IOS Cisco IOS (originally Internetwork Operating System) is the software used on the vast majority of Cisco Systems routers and all current Cisco network switches. IOS is a package of routing, switching, internetworking and telecommunications functions tightly integrated with a software. "Our customers have invested time and money to build scalable, effective networks that meet the demands of their business. It is our goal to help them maximize that infrastructure investment," said Paul Morville, senior product manager at Arbor Networks. "This interoperability helps customers utilize existing gear to detect and resolve network availability threats." "Arbor and Cisco support open, standards-based architectures and share a commitment to interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability. solutions. Through this vision, the Cisco AVVID Partner Program delivers the power of choice to enterprises--the ability to extend the Cisco end-to-end architecture with our members' security products and technologies," said Greg Mayfield, manager of market and business development at Cisco. "With Cisco AVVID Partner offerings such as Arbor's Peakflow DoS, customers can deploy a broad range of e-business solutions which foster innovation and drive rapid adoption of secure business-critical technologies." Peakflow DoS couples dynamic network profiling with patent-pending anomaly detection An approach to intrusion detection that establishes a baseline model of behavior for users and components in a computer system or network. Deviations from the baseline cause alerts that direct the attention of human operators to the anomalies. See IDS and anomaly. technology to rapidly identify network anomalies, such as denial of service attacks and worm propagation, in the core as well as the edge of networks, enabling network operators to quickly counter these threats, ensuring the highest level of availability and performance.
