Relying solely on vendor claims or low-performance freeware can put your network at risk.

Enterprises invest significant resources in network security software and hardware. But can those solutions really be trusted to protect the network against increasingly sophisticated attacks? Relying solely on vendor claims or low-performance freeware can put your network at risk for security breaches.

What to Test

Any system designed to protect a network from attack should be tested to validate:

  • Ability to detect and prevent—all of the thousands of known attacks and vulnerabilities
  • Throughput—with processor-intensive features enabled
  • Performance—when under attack

Spirent Solutions

Spirent’s testing solutions validate that network security systems perform as intended and deliver the protection you expect.

  • Avalanche provides complete multi 10Gbps security, attack and performance testing, enabling users to test network security systems at line rate speeds to simulate daily business traffic and understand the impact of network faults and attacks
  • Spirent Studio Security is a testing solution purpose-built for validating security capabilities via fuzz testing, DDOS replication, vulnerability assessment and security capability verification
  • Professional Services - Enterprise OnDEMAND On-Site Performance Testing detects and mitigates problems before you launch a new network security solution
  • Support Services ensure that system technology is always current and operating at maximum performance

Solutions

  • AvalancheAvalanche is the most comprehensive and highest performance/capacity L4-L7 test solution available on the market today.
