Arbor Edge Defense combines always-on stateless protection with AI-driven detection, classification, countermeasures, and optional cloud signaling. Covariant uses telemetry for visibility, but filtering is already active; it does not depend on detecting and classifying an attack before protection begins.
Arbor Edge Defense emphasizes stateless perimeter processing. Covariant evaluates whether traffic belongs to the receiving service and can use connection context for protocols where state matters, rather than treating every packet only in isolation.
Covariant is designed for hosting providers, ISPs, datacenters, transit providers, and game hosts where customer services change frequently. The workload becomes the filtering policy, reducing the need for a complete application inventory or hand-maintained service profiles.
