A major challenge of such a complex project with high stakes is ensuring our cybersecurity specialists have the tools , technology and support they need .
We asked Richard Hummel , Threat Intelligence Lead for NETSCOUT , further questions to find out more .
How does NETSCOUT collaborate with IT providers like NRB to ensure quick response times and readiness for high-stakes events such as national elections ?
The first measure we take is proactive . We track the latest DDoS threats and hacktivists and continually deliver near real-time threat intelligence content via our ATLAS Intelligence Feed . This becomes a first line of defence for infrastructure we know the adversaries are using .

From there , we often have methods to further dig into a campaign and can provide background , historical knowledge , and methodology that the adversary uses . In this instance , we were able to co-ordinate with NRB through our Arbor Cloud team to ensure they knew of the Tactics , Techniques , Procedures ( TTPs ) and the targets for this attack campaign . This enabled the teams to ensure more surgical detection and mitigation of the threats .
