GDS Africa adds NETSCOUT to help keep Ghana's digital services online
GDS Africa now offers NETSCOUT Arbor DDoS protection and nGenius service assurance in Ghana, designed, deployed and supported locally from Accra.
More of Ghana’s economy runs online every year. Mobile money, digital banking, government e-services and the networks that carry them are expected to be available all day, every day. That makes them a target, and one of the fastest ways to take a service offline is a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
That’s why GDS Africa is now offering the NETSCOUT portfolio as one of our featured technology partners, delivered and supported locally from Accra.
DDoS protection, from the network edge to the cloud
NETSCOUT’s Arbor products are used by service providers and enterprises around the world to detect and stop DDoS attacks. Through GDS Africa, organisations in Ghana can now get:
- Arbor Sightline and Threat Mitigation System (TMS) for network-wide visibility and high-capacity scrubbing, built for service providers and large networks.
- Arbor Edge Defense (AED), an always-on perimeter device that stops attacks before they reach firewalls and blocks outbound traffic to known-bad destinations.
- Arbor Cloud DDoS Protection for volumetric attacks that are bigger than your internet link.
- ATLAS Intelligence Feed, keeping protection current against new attack types.
Most organisations need a mix of on-premise and cloud protection, and we help design the right balance. We also support existing Arbor deployments, from maintenance and ATLAS renewals to adding mitigation capacity as traffic grows.

Seeing every service, end to end
Availability isn’t only about attacks. When an application slows down or a call drops, teams need to know why, fast. NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE service assurance and Omnis Cyber Intelligence network detection and response turn network packets into real-time insight, so operations and security teams work from the same evidence across data centre, network and cloud.

Why it matters in Ghana now
Ghana’s Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038) places clear obligations on owners of critical information infrastructure, and customers have little patience for outages. For banks, operators and public institutions, keeping services online is now part of the security conversation, not separate from it.
GDS Africa brings local design, deployment and support to NETSCOUT solutions, so you have a partner on the ground when it counts.
