Traffic anomaly detection solutions from Cisco Systems contribute to the industry's most complete and powerful family of solutions for detecting and defeating today's most complex and sophisticated distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Working in concert with Cisco Guard DDoS mitigation appliances and service modules, Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detectors detect the presence of a potential DDoS attack, divert traffic destined for the targeted device, and identify and block malicious traffic in real time, without affecting the flow of legitimate, mission-critical transactions. As a result, business operations of targeted organizations continue running, even while under attack, ensuring critical corporate assets are always protected.
The Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector XT 5600 delivers multigigabit performance to protect the largest enterprise environments by rapidly detecting and alerting users to potential distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), worm, and other attacks. Detection is based on sophisticated anomaly detection capabilities that compare current activity to profiles of known "normal" behavior, enabling the Traffic Anomaly Detector XT to identify even day-zero attacks that have never been seen before.
