Business Wire
Spirent CyberFlood™ is a next-generation
testing solution to validate the security, performance and
scalability of app-aware infrastructures from enterprise to
carrier-grade network capacity
Spirent Communications Plc (LSE:SPT), a leader in security and
performance testing solutions, ushers in the next era of security
and application performance testing. CyberFlood™, a next-generation
security and performance testing solution, is an easy-to-use,
comprehensive testing platform suitable for complex testing
scenarios. Users can ensure that their security and performance
testing addresses their unique environments by emulating realistic
traffic volume, threats, and attack scenarios including fuzzing,
malware, and DDoS attacks.
Designed with team testing in mind, CyberFlood’s intuitive web
UI extends easy-to-use best practices for faster, repeatable, and
more accurate testing. Users can easily view all testing activities
at-a-glance on the dashboard, including running and recently
completed tests. Whether local or globally-dispersed, teams
including IT, QA and engineering can now quickly and effectively
test, validate and roll out their app-aware devices and
infrastructures. This includes sharing of test configurations, test
results and test devices including physical appliances, modules and
virtual endpoints. Fully extensible, CyberFlood allows teams to
easily adjust test parameters to create unique attack patterns and
finely tuned application mixes to test and stress security
devices.
“CyberFlood differentiates itself on security. An example would
be its Advanced Malware offering. This new offering provides
thousands of new malware samples per month including zero-day
malware allowing you to find the holes in your threat landscape,”
said David DeSanto, Director, Products and Threat Research of
Spirent Communications. “CyberFlood Advanced Fuzzing combines the
two main fuzzing strategies, generation-based and mutation-based,
into one new intelligence driven strategy to provide you greater
depth and breadth in your testing to find more issues than
previously possible.”
CyberFlood helps enterprises, services providers and network
equipment manufacturers validate their services, devices and
infrastructures today as well as prepare for the future. Some of
the CyberFlood’s key highlights are:
- Fuzzing: To stay ahead of the
evolving threat landscape, you need to think like a hacker and use
tools superior to what they use to find issues within your
solutions and services before they do. CyberFlood’s SmartMutation™
technology combines the two most common fuzzing techniques,
generation-based and mutation-based, into an intelligent fuzzing
strategy. This scalable solution gives you the greatest depth and
breadth in your fuzzing.
- DDoS Attacks: Validating your
DDoS mitigation strategy is more than just sending a bunch of
traffic at your security infrastructure. CyberFlood combines both
legitimate or normal traffic with DDoS attack traffic to confirm
that your DDoS solution mitigates appropriately without
inadvertently impacting legitimate users. Statistics are provided
real-time to interactively measure both user experience and
security mitigation.
- Malware: Today, malware is
extremely nefarious and problematic. Between 2010 and 2015, there
has been a 700% increase in the number of malware programs in the
wild. CyberFlood’s Advanced Malware offering is unique in quality
and quantity. Thousands of new malware are added each month
including zero-day malware providing customers a cutting-edge
advantage in validating their security stance.
- Spirent TestCloud: Continually
updated, Spirent TestCloud contains thousands of current
applications and attacks as well as other subscribed content to
ensure your testing library is up-to-date with the latest and most
relevant content. CyberFlood leverages TestCloud to generate real
application traffic with true state and authentic payloads based on
actual usage for realistic security, load, and functional
testing.
“Continual testing based on the current threat landscape is key
to protect against new malware, the complexity of new threats and
increased global security concerns,” said John Weinschenk, General
Manager, Spirent Enterprise and Application Security. “Proactive
and solid testing methodologies should take into consideration the
four variables that cohesively function together to produce
reliable test results. These are performance, availability,
security and scale. CyberFlood was developed specifically to
address all four of these critical areas.”
The Spirent Security Solutions Team will be in booth #1065 at
Black Hat USA 2016 in Las Vegas, NV August 3-4, 2016. Stop by to
