Validating NETSCOUT Arbor Solutions with Forrester TEI Study

The Importance of Evaluating ROI in Cybersecurity

Selecting a DDoS protection solution requires assessing both technical capabilities and financial impact. To support businesses in making informed decisions, NETSCOUT commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study focused on Arbor Sightline, TMS, and Insight. The study provides independent validation of the solutions’ value and their measurable impact on operational efficiency and revenue generation.

Key Findings from the Forrester TEI Study

Forrester’s rigorous analysis uncovered several notable benefits of NETSCOUT Arbor solutions:

• 223% return on investment (ROI) over three years.
• Payback within one year, showcasing the solutions’ rapid impact.
• $17.44 million in financial benefits, attributed to reduced downtime, increased productivity, and new revenue streams.

These findings underscore Arbor’s ability to protect businesses while delivering measurable financial value.

Breaking Down the Financial Benefits

Reduced Downtime

A significant portion of the financial benefits—approximately $13 million—came from reduced downtime. NETSCOUT’s automated DDoS detection and surgical mitigation capabilities improved mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 75-80%. This reduction minimized disruptions to service providers’ core services and customer-facing operations.

Improved Team Productivity

Arbor solutions enhanced the productivity of NetSecOps and ITOps teams, enabling faster threat detection and mitigation. With automated workflows, teams could focus on strategic initiatives rather than repetitive tasks.

Revenue Generation Opportunities

Service providers utilizing Arbor solutions reported generating $7.2 million in additional revenue through managed DDoS protection services. These premium services, powered by Arbor Insight, provided lucrative opportunities for businesses to monetize their cybersecurity investments.
