BreakingPoint QuickTest — Turn-Key Performance and Cybersecurity Testing

Data Sheets

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.

 

Highlights

  • Simplified user interface that enables execution of complex test cases in just two to three clicks
  • Pre-populated, problem-based test methodologies covering the top performance and security test scenarios
  • A self-stabilizing, goal-seeking algorithm assess performance and security of a variety of infrastructures while reducing time to insight
  • Expert analysis of each test run with actionable insights and results-based recommendations
  • Continuously updated test suites that ensure relevant, real-world based assessments
  • Ability to use both BreakingPoint and BreakingPoint QuickTest on a single test platform

 

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.

Product Capabilities

A simplified user interface ensures a short learning curve for both new and existing BreakingPoint customers. BreakingPoint QuickTest is available in the same Web Application Framework (WAF) used to access the BreakingPoint chassis.

 

Pre-packaged traffic profiles with adjustable load

After the users are signed in, they see their recently executed test runs and the available, turn-key test methodology suites. For example, the ‘NetSecOPEN’ test suite runs a series of real-world application mixes as well as HTTP and HTTP performance tests to characterize the performance aspects of any system or device under test (SUT or DUT). Similarly, the ‘NetSecOPEN Security’ test suite will run various types of attacks like exploits, malware, and evasions to accurately measure the security efficacy of a DUT / SUT in detecting and blocking attacks.
