ETSCOUT has announced continued investments in infrastructure and technology to double its Arbor Cloud

DDoS attack mitigation capacity to 33 Tbps, which is aimed at keeping critical digital services available during DDoS attacks, protecting revenue-generating digital operations, supporting always-on AI-driven businesses, and maintaining customer trust.

Unlike cloud mitigation services that merely add bandwidth, Arbor Cloud combines global mitigation capacity with global threat intelligence, drawing on NETSCOUT’ s unparalleled visibility into realworld internet attack activity. Spanning 16 global scrubbing centers, this significant increase in capacity equips customers with the ability to defend against the growing scale, frequency, and sophistication of DDoS attacks by consistently balancing mitigation capacity across all attack vectors in their environments.

“ With the increased use of AI, threat actors are targeting organisations whose defenses are vulnerable to the new, more complex DDoS attacks designed to take down critical infrastructure,” stated Carlos Morales, SVP and General Manager, Arbor Cloud, NETSCOUT.“ As enterprises increasingly rely on AI-powered applications and cloud-native services, while at the same time, attack size and complexity continue to rise, implementing automated and proactive defenses for uninterrupted availability has

become a business risk imperative. Arbor Cloud plays a key role in achieving that objective.”

he UN Office for Disarmament Affairs( UNODA) and the Global

Cybersecurity Forum( GCF) announced their partnership to implement the United Nations( UN) Global Mechanism on ICT Security Delegate Training Program – a multistakeholder initiative that will equip official delegates with the knowledge and practical skills needed to participate effectively in UN discussions on ICT in the context of international security, at a time where threats to global ICT infrastructure are rapidly evolving.

The programme will prepare nominated delegates for participation in the UN Global Mechanism through targeted capacitybuilding across the international ICT security agenda. It will cover key areas including the evolving ICT threat landscape, cyber capacity maturity assessments, AI cybersecurity readiness, international law in the ICT domain, national cybersecurity strategy development, cyber economics, and practical simulation exercises on incident response and UN norms of responsible State behaviour.

The programme forms part of the Global Initiative for Capacity Building in Cyberspace, announced at the GCF Annual Meeting 2025 as a collaboration between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UN. Implementation of the initiative is led by the National Cybersecurity Authority( NCA) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in collaboration with the Saudi Information Technology Company( SITE), and GCF, in partnership with UN agencies, including UNODA, and a wide network of international partners. Leveraging the diverse expertise of these entities, it addresses critical gaps in global cybersecurity capacity to help safeguard societies, economies, and critical infrastructure against growing cyberthreats.
