Validate Devices and Network Security With Real-World Applications and Threat Vectors

Problem: Complexity of CyberSecurity Testing

A properly conducted cybersecurity assessment provides details about network or device performance while handling traffic of varying complexity — from basic Layer 2-3 traffic to complex application mixes blended with the latest threat vectors. Similarly, a deep security-effectiveness assessment requires a combination of threat vectors and evasion techniques to accurately gauge an infrastructure’s ability to detect, filter, and block different types of attacks. This validation is critical to ensuring a high-performing and secure network.

However, many organizations do not perform these assessments on a regular basis because the tools capable of such testing are too complex, network configuration changes are too frequent, or they lack staff with the knowledge required to effectively analyze test results.

Solution: Turn-Key Tests Designed to Accelerate Testing and Reduce Learning Curve

BreakingPoint QuickTest simplifies application performance and security-effectiveness assessments by providing individual test methodologies based on the type of test needed. Test suites include NetSecOPEN, NetSecOPEN Security, Performance, Encryption Performance, and Security. These easy-to-use test methodologies leverage the ongoing research from our global Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) team and the many years of experience Keysight engineers have in testing various application and security devices and networks. The test suites employ powerful stabilization and goal-seeking algorithms that ensure accurate assessment of a diverse set of devices and systems, and expert analysis that delivers actionable insights after each test run.

BreakingPoint QuickTest delivers all the power of our industry-leading BreakingPoint, enabling organizations to optimize the speed and efficacy of their cybersecurity testing without compromise.

Unmasking Network and Data Evasions

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.

Making Dollar$ and Sense Out of Enterprise Security Testing

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.
