BreakingPoint Application and Security Test Solutions

In today's world of crippling cyber-attacks and dynamic applications, organizations need to know that their networks aresecure enough to handle the worst that cyber criminals can throw at them. BreakingPoint provides test solutions to helpenterprises, service providers, and equipment manufacturers:

Optimize firewall and other intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and security devices

Mitigate distributed denial of service (DDoS) and other attacks

Build networks and cloud infrastructures that are resilient to attacks

Perform "bake-off" evaluations on how next-generation firewalls and other security devices perform on a particularnetwork

Validate and harden large 3G and 4G/LTE networks under the most realistic conditions

Now, with the new PerfectStorm Fusion load modules and XGS12 chassis, BreakingPoint is an all-in-one security andperformance testing platform for massive-scale, stateful layer 4-7 application and security testing. It is the only system thatprovides modular scalability that achieves near Terabit levels of mixed application and malicious traffic to test all elements oftoday’s complex data centers.

With PerfectStorm, Ixia delivers the first platform to seamlessly unify the IxLoad and BreakingPoint software applications into asingle, more powerful system-one that can validate every element of the data center to ensure the secure delivery of mission-critical applications that today's users demand.

With BreakingPoint, you'll gain a global visibility into emerging threats and applications, along with advance insight into theresiliency of an organization's IT infrastructure under operationally-relevant conditions and malicious attacks.

The BreakingPoint ATI program provides updates every 2 weeks, ensuring delivery of the industry's most up to dateapplication and threat intelligence, including 200+ stateful application protocols, 6,000+ real-world attacks, and 35,000+ livemalware samples found in enterprise, core, and mobile networks.

Cyber Security Training — Cyber security training offers a standardized curriculum for the dynamic and real-worldexercises needed to build skills and hone cyber warrior instincts.

Lawful Intercept Test — Lawful intercept test solutions simulate real-world application traffic found in lawful interceptsystems and trigger content in multiple languages.

Network Security Test — Network security test solutions emulate malicious and normal user traffic to harden theresiliency of devices and network infrastructure.

Application Load Test — Application testing solutions ensure the quality and security of multiplay services, applicationdelivery platforms, and security systems.

Server Load Test — Server load testing validates the performance and security of IT infrastructures with real-worldapplication traffic and attacks at line rate.

IPv6 Test — IPv6 test solutions emulate IPv4, IPv6, and transitional dual-stack network protocols to evaluate thereadiness of each device, system, or network.

Pre-Deployment Test — Pre-deployment testing enables in-depth benchmarking and analysis to design, develop, anddeliver quality and cost-effective networks and systems.
