LEXINGTON, Mass. -- Arbor Networks, a provider of network security and operational performance for global business networks, today announced that the Commercial Bank of Dubai has deployed the Arbor's Peakflow X platform ("Peakflow X") after an extensive evaluation of competing products. Peakflow X will be used to provide internal network security, network-wide traffic monitoring and compliance.

"Arbor's Peakflow X leverages NetFlow in existing infrastructure equipment and provides us with enterprise-wide visibility into both network performance and security. We get the visibility and intelligence required to protect against a wide variety of threats as well as the information needed to ensure compliance, usage policies and alerting," said Rinaldo Ribeiro, head of information security with the Commercial Bank of Dubai. "Peakflow X is providing unique visibility into user behavior, application usage and threat prevention -- all from a single, easy-to-use console."

"Arbor's experience working with some of the world's largest financial services firms certainly helped us understand the issues that the Commercial Bank of Dubai was facing," said Gerhard Schmid, Arbor's sales director for the Middle East. "Peakflow X is an attractive solution for financial service firms because it addresses both networking and security issues while also providing powerful, graphical, customizable, on-demand or scheduled reports which provide management with a real-time or historical view into the performance, security and compliance posture of the enterprise network."
