The Arbor Edge Defense (AED) acts as a "first line of defense" that blocks DDoS attacks and inbound/outbound threats at the network edge, without relying on state (stateless).

It uses real-time global intelligence to disrupt malware and botnet communications, alleviating the load on firewalls and ensuring full availability of services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The operational rigidity and high maintenance cost are negative points: both the interface and the configuration logic are aimed at network specialists, which makes the learning curve quite steep and tiring for those without experience in the area. Additionally, the equipment requires continuous management of updates and policies, since, being an edge device, any configuration error can result in undue blocks (false positives) in the company's critical services.
