Greater Flexibility, Proactive Security
Assessment, and Network Performance Analysis for Enterprises,
Service Providers, and Equipment Manufacturers
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT) today announced the
expansion of its family of industry-leading testing solutions with
the introduction of two platforms that provide new ways to leverage
CyberFlood functionality.
For users testing cloud and SDN/NFV environments, CyberFlood
Virtual provides versatile deployment options previously
unavailable for these use cases. The CF20 is an all-in-one
appliance solution that packs the full capabilities of CyberFlood
into a highly portable, multi-speed, compact form factor. Available
immediately, both new platforms offer increased flexibility and
scalability, expanding Spirent’s reach to include a broader range
of customers.
“Customers testing network and security infrastructures with
realistic applications, attacks, and malware already leverage
CyberFlood to validate reliability and security assurance of
today’s advanced networks and devices,” said David DeSanto,
director, products and threat research at Spirent Communications.
“To address the evolving needs of the connected world, we have
expanded CyberFlood’s platform support with the CF20 and CyberFlood
Virtual, giving users highly flexible and scalable deployment
options that address their testing needs today and going
forward.”
With the CF20, users can deploy and start testing in minutes,
using a single 1U appliance providing connectivity at 1G/10G/40G
and 100G. The CF20 fits the needs of enterprises, service
providers, and government organizations for bench-level testing and
pre-deployment verification. Additionally, with twice the SSL/TSL
testing capabilities of competing products, the CF20 is the ideal
solution for testing the impact of the ever-increasing volumes of
complex encrypted traffic.
“The CF20 represents a milestone in advanced security and
performance testing, packaged in a conveniently small form factor,”
said Masahiko Kawauchi, general manager at Toyo Corporation,
Spirent’s reseller partner in Japan. “Specifically designed with
high-scale cryptographic testing in mind, the CF20 is ready-made to
assist our enterprise and service provider customers in
understanding the impact of both current and future security
traffic in an accessible and cost-effective manner.”
For customers requiring security and performance solutions in
virtual environments, CyberFlood Virtual provides the CyberFlood
feature set in a scalable software solution designed for use in
those environments. CyberFlood Virtual creates application and
security traffic within and across virtual environments, exercising
SDN/NFV security and performance devices, such as virtualized
next-generation firewalls and intrusion prevention systems, with
realistic traffic and attack/malware scenarios. As a software
solution, CyberFlood Virtual enables users to simulate traffic on
their own hardware and easily scale loads to meet their performance
testing needs.
“Spirent’s CyberFlood Virtual makes it possible to model the
performance and efficacy of advanced anti-malware solutions such as
WedgeAMB,” said Hongwen Zhang, Ph.D., CTO of Wedge Networks—a
Spirent customer. “By enabling us to easily create virtual test
beds, CyberFlood Virtual lets us quickly verify our AI-based
anti-malware solutions with fresh and updated malware examples,
with and without load traffic, for the benefit of system vendors
and our virtual machine and appliance customers.”
These new platforms represent a major expansion of the
CyberFlood product line to address a broader set of use cases and
applications, from physical networks to the cloud. The CF20 and
CyberFlood Virtual can scale to fit a wide range of environments,
meeting the needs of enterprise customers as well as service
providers (SPs), network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and
governments entities, due to their cost effectiveness, efficient
form factors, and the fact that they do not require a high degree
of expertise to deploy or use.
