ATIO introduces Ixia BreakingPoint - leading security resilience testing solution - to southern African enterprise market


Johannesburg, 15 Jul 2015

ATIO, a specialist ICT company with headquarters in Johannesburg, is proud to announce the addition of the Ixia BreakingPoint solution to its portfolio.

In today's world of crippling cyber attacks and continuous application growth, organisations need to know their networks are secure enough to handle the worst that cyber criminals can throw at them.

BreakingPoint is a security resilience test platform designed to help enterprises, governments, service providers, and equipment manufacturers:

* Optimise firewall and other intrusion prevention systems and security devices;
* Validate their ability to withstand large-scale distributed denial of service (DDOS) and other attacks;
* Build networks and cloud infrastructures that are resilient to attacks;
* Perform head-to-head "bake-off" evaluations on how next-generation firewalls and other security devices perform on your network; and
* Complete LTE performance and security testing.

With Ixia BreakingPoint, organisations gain a holistic view into emerging threats and applications - along with advance insight into the resiliency of an organisation's IT infrastructure under operationally relevant conditions and malicious attacks.

The Ixia BreakingPoint Application and Threat Intelligence subscription provides the industry's most complete and regularly updated application and threat intelligence library - to keep you on top of the latest malware applications and attacks (currently updated every two weeks).

With various hardware and software options available, Ixia BreakingPoint allows users to emulate real-world traffic and threat scenarios at unprecedented scale and complexity:

* Generate up to 960Gbps line rate traffic;
* Test with up to 720M concurrent HTTP sessions;
* Create 24M connections per second;
* Generate over 250 application protocols;
* Generate over 6 000 live security attacks;
* Generate over 35 000 pieces of live malware;
* Create huge-scale DDOS and botnet simulations; and
* Validate performance of virtualised or cloud environments.

ATIO also offers testing as a service to bring the power of BreakingPoint to its customers through a managed test service offering. For enterprises requiring periodic audits or security resilience assessments, this allows a cost-effective solution without the capital outlay.
