Netscout Arbor

NETSCOUT Arbor’s firewall-adjacent product is Arbor Edge Defense, an inline appliance that filters DDoS traffic at the network edge before it reaches the firewall. Its main differentiator is stateless packet handling plus Arbor threat intelligence for blocking floods and protocol abuse. It fits organizations that need edge availability protection more than a traditional NGFW feature set.
