CyberFlood solution simplifies network testing
for industry body’s open-standards compliance
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the trusted provider of
test, measurement, assurance, and analytics solutions for
next-generation devices and networks, today announced that it has
fully incorporated the NetSecOPEN test suite into its CyberFlood
testing platform. The new built-in capabilities provide CyberFlood
users with the ability to easily perform assessments of their
security systems using the full breadth of NetSecOPEN’s open
network security test standard methodologies.
NetSecOPEN is a vendor-independent standards body that brings
together leading testing solutions vendors, security vendors, and
testing labs to develop transparent, open, and public
standards-based cybersecurity performance testing. Spirent
Communications joined NetSecOPEN as a founding member in 2017, and
has played an important role in developing the organization’s open
testing standard for next-generation firewalls (NGFW).
Spirent’s CyberFlood is the first assessment solution to
integrate all current NetSecOPEN tests. With this latest version,
users can easily access NetSecOPEN’s standards-based methodologies
to assess and validate how deployment-ready security solutions
impact network performance. These methodologies cover a wide range
of use cases, including enterprise perimeter security mix traffic,
cybersecurity assessment with pre-defined attack and malware
scenarios, and a growing set of primary performance tests for
bandwidth and capacity based on fully open and transparent
standards.
“The combination of CyberFlood and NetSecOPEN enables every
enterprise to adopt an open-standards approach to infrastructure
security assessments,” said Jurrie van den Breekel, vice president,
business development and product management at Spirent
Communications. “With CyberFlood’s NetSecOPEN tests, users can
immediately see the impact on performance, while optimizing
infrastructure security policies.”
Spirent CyberFlood is a powerful, easy-to-use test solution that
enables enterprises, service providers, and network equipment
manufacturers to gauge the security, performance, scalability, and
efficacy of their application-aware network infrastructures. Unlike
test solutions that merely simulate or mimic attacks, CyberFlood
emulates hacker, malware, and attack behavior using realistic and
up-to-date threats - including malicious payloads seen in the real
world - to provide a highly accurate security evaluation of an
organization’s networks and devices.
Brian Monkman, executive director of NetSecOPEN said:
“Incorporating the NetSecOPEN test suite into Spirent’s CyberFlood
is a great step forward for the industry and brings us closer to
full, cross-industry adoption of a truly open standard for
apples-to-apples performance testing of security solutions. Now
CyberFlood puts our specification of realistic, repeatable testing
into the hands of enterprise organizations, labs, and vendors.”
CyberFlood version 19.1.2, featuring the expanded NetSecOPEN
test suite as a standard component, is available now. For more
