Arbor Networks, together with its value-added distributor, Networks Unlimited, recently partnered with leading ICT companies in Nigeria, with the aim of providing a skilled security service to customers in the region.

"There is a huge requirement for skilled and capable vendors to provide East and West African companies with leading security solutions that can assist in the mitigation, detection and identification of distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks in particular. Encapsulating 15 years of experience in delivering security as well as network visibility solutions and products, Arbor Networks today secures the networks of the world's largest enterprise against advanced threats," said Bryan Hamman, territory manager for Sub-Saharan Africa at Arbor Networks

"Nigeria has become one of Arbor's main focus regions on the African continent and, as such, a strong emphasis has been placed on growing Arbor Networks as a brand and product in the region."

Delegates were taken through demonstrations of how the Arbor solution could assist companies in mitigating DDOS attacks. Highlights included Arbor's hybrid DDOS solution and Advanced Threat - Arbor's latest product release.
