BreakingPoint QuickTest simplifies application performance and security-effectiveness assessments by providing individual test methodologies based on the type of test needed.

BreakingPoint allows network security testing and application performance testing from a single platform. Maximize your investments in IPS and next-generation firewalls, validate DDoS defenses, and ensure superior end-user quality of experience.

A well-written evasion can enable full sessions carried in packets that completely sidestep security systems. Many security devices have ways of normalizing data and detecting these types of compromises. However, they typically are not enabled when devices are initially deployed because they have a huge overhead in terms of processing time. But what if you want to enhance your intrusion prevention/detection system (IPS/IDS) or next-generation firewall (NGFW) protection by turning on the evasion detection feature? You’ll want to test and hone it in the lab first. Read this document to learn more about the top evasion techniques and how Ixia's BreakingPoint can help you make informed decisions on the trade-off between prevention and performance.

If your job involves addressing and responding to the security challenges your organization faces, this paper can help you. We’ll explore traditional approaches to assessing security investments, look at the financial benefits of testing, and debunk the excuses that keep IT organizations from validating their security infrastructure and deployment processes. And last but not least, we’ll introduce new solutions and best practices for staying a step ahead of the evolving threat landscape. Ignoring security resilience testing is a “head-in-the-sand” approach that can cost organizations millions, and individuals their jobs. We’ll look at solutions and technologies that can cost-effectively model and apply the realism found in your company’s one-of-a-kind network, right down to your applications and even a single user’s behavior, including both legitimate enterprise users and malicious attackers. Using this approach and economical new techniques, IT managers can quickly evaluate how specific technologies such as NGFWs, or a layered security architecture, will perform and safeguard application performance in their own unique environments. This paper covers: Opportunities for cost-reduction; Selecting optimized and cost-effective security for your network; Right-sizing investments to meet your company’s business AND security needs; Ensuring your network has the high level of security resilience needed to defend against attacks; Readying company personnel for inevitable attacks.

The ATI Research Center combines proficiency in cybersecurity threats and application protocol behavior. This unique combination takes network security to a new level, looking at it the same way as a cybercriminal, from every direction.

Ixia just released its third annual security study — the Ixia 2019 Security Report. This report combines lessons learned in 2018 with impactful predictions for 2019. Both the data and the predictions are based upon research conducted by Ixia’s Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) Research Center.
