NEW DELHI: British telecommunications company Spirent Communications said that it has CyberFlood, a next-generation security and performance testing solution.
"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," the company said in a statement.
"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," it added.
"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," a statement said.
“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," said David DeSanto, Director, Products and Threat Research of Spirent Communications.
CyberFlood helps enterprises, services providers and network equipment manufacturers validate their services, devices and infrastructures today as well as prepare for the future.
“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," said John Weinschenk, General Manager, Spirent Enterprise and Application Security.
