WESTFORD, Mass. (BUSINESS WIRE) lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24NTCT&src=ctag” target=”_blank”gt;$NTCTlt;/agt; lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/DDoS?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#DDoSlt;/agt;

NETSCOUT

., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of service

assurance, security, and business analytics, announced today that Banco

Votorantim, one of Brazil’s largest banks, has deployed the

nGenius

and its Arbor DDoS solutions to ensure

total service availability and optimized performance of its IT

infrastructure and key applications used by its employees.

“By showing the traffic and behavior of applications, in a non-intrusive

and uncomplicated way, the NETSCOUT technology allows for the monitoring

of the actual user experience and the quality of the services provided

by IT,” said Marcelo Maylinch, head of IT infrastructure, Banco

Votorantim. “This has reduced the time spent in identifying problems

involving network and applications, enabling us to quickly solve

incidents before they become a risk for the bank’s business continuity.”

“It is rewarding to know that we are playing an important role in

improving Votorantim’s network and digital services performance, which

is enabling it to succeed in an ever-competitive marketplace,” said

Geraldo Guazzelli, country manager, Brazil, NETSCOUT.

Performance and Service Excellence

As a major financial institution, Banco Votorantim operates a complex

enterprise network to support its locations in Brazil and around the

world. Customers interact with the bank at branch locations,

electronically through web services, and on the phone with their call

centers. As its customer base grew, Votorantim’s IT management required

greater visibility into voice and data application services across the

network for in-depth, real-time analysis, views and reports that could

be used by any of the members of their IT team, as well as help inform

their broader management team. Recognizing that any disruption in

critical services could slow key transactions and jeopardize customer

relationships, Votorantim also needed an anti-DDoS provider that could

protect them on premise and from the cloud. NETSCOUT was able to help on

both of these important fronts.

Banco Votorantim turned to NETSCOUT to provide visibility and service

assurance in the bank’s data centers and branch offices. By using the

nGenius

to efficiently feed vital traffic flows from the

data centers to several InfiniStreamNG appliances

and transform wire-data into smart data, NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE analytics

monitor the bank’s applications including revenue-critical services,

such as online banking, credit card management and authorization,

automobile loans, and wealth management, as well as all applications

used by associates in the branches. To gain deeper insight into

application performance, user experience and service dependencies while

also adapting to the organization’s security policies and strategy,

Banco Votorantim is also using complementary NETSCOUT tools such as

OptiView

,

TruView

and nGeniusPulse for

synthetic performance testing and portable troubleshooting, ensuring

better day-to-day operations in all of the bank’s agencies and offices.

To ensure network availability and security against different types of

DDoS threats, the protection offered by the combination of the

NETSCOUT

(formerly known as NETSCOUT Arbor APS) and

NETSCOUT

provides a complete view of the network’s

activities, enabling rapid and automatic threat blocking before it can

affect applications and services. Preferring to count on an independent

provider, rather than ISP’s, Banco Votorantim adopted Arbor Cloud, a

fully managed, best practices hybrid cloud DDoS protection program. By

realizing that large volumetric attacks can interrupt ISP services, the

bank’s IT staff opted for a provider with a global presence and the

ability to clear attacks closer to their source.
