Notably , in November 2024 , the company announced its partnership with Internet carrier Arelion to strengthen Arelion ’ s Distributed Denial-of-Service ( DDoS ) attack mitigation capabilities . By enhancing its capabilities with Netscout , Arelion is able to improve network security across its # 1 ranked global Internet backbone , empowering enterprise customers with resilient , highperformance connectivity services .

This partnership will help Arelion enhance the protection they can provide to enterprises facing more frequent cyberattacks on their businesses .”

We are all reliant on the Internet . Netscout prides itself on protecting the performance and availability of the Internet services we rely upon .”
