A10 Networks Addresses Sophisticated DDoS Attacks with Stronger
Detection and Tightly Integrated Thunder Threat Protection System
Solutions to Drive Effective Defense
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
As distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks increase in size and
scope, A10
Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a Secure Application Services™ company, today
launched its latest defenses against these threats with the most
powerful DDoS protection solution available on the market. The company
is strengthening its A10 Thunder™ TPS (Threat Protection System)
platform with surgical flow-based detection via the new A10 Thunder TPS
Detector, which integrates with A10 aGalaxy TPS management to provide
automated mitigation for TPS Mitigator.
The A10 Thunder TPS Detector is available as a virtual machine on the
A10 aGalaxy® 5000 management appliance or on other TPS mitigation
appliances via the configuration option. It more than doubles the
industry’s nearest competitive flow-based DDoS detection performance by
managing 500,000 flows per second. The A10 Thunder TPS Detector is
tightly integrated with A10’s TPS Mitigator and A10 aGalaxy TPS
management solutions.
Together, A10 Detector, aGalaxy TPS and A10 Mitigator comprise a
complete A10 Thunder TPS solution, which enables IT organizations to
quickly detect, manage and mitigate attacks. When an attack is detected
via an analysis of user traffic by A10 Detector, aGalaxy TPS management
is then notified, which triggers A10’s Mitigator with the recommended
mitigation templates resulting in fast responses across the attack
lifecycle. By understanding and assessing the severity of the attack,
the A10 Thunder TPS solution then automates effective escalation and
automatically runs countermeasures to help mitigate DDoS attacks before
they spread and wreak havoc.
The A10 Thunder TPS solution uses more than three dozen threat
intelligence sources to block malicious traffic and monitors performance
and security baselines with 28 behavioral indicators – considerably more
than major competitors – inspecting suspicious traffic and escalating
policies to help avoid legitimate traffic drops and eliminate false
positives.
A10’s continued innovation in DDoS protection comes at the right time.
Security teams face increasing sophistication from adversaries
responsible for DDoS attacks. According to a recent
report commissioned by A10, large DDoS attacks greater than 50 Gbps
have quadrupled the past two years. The number of companies experiencing
between 6-25 attacks per year has increased more than four times in that
same time span. However, with the complete Thunder TPS solution, A10 is
improving protection for companies looking to augment mitigation
capacity, SecOps-friendly automation, and reduction of false positives.
“With the new Thunder TPS options and flexibility, A10 is helping
service providers, cloud providers, gaming companies and enterprises
combat aggressive DDoS attacks with greater intelligence and agility,”
said Raj Jalan, CTO of A10 Networks. “We believe the intelligent
automation, combined with the industry’s highest-performing combination
of powerful detection, mitigation, and management, will increase SecOps
efficiency and drive more effective defense for businesses.”
“Security teams demand solutions that can stand up against increasingly
destructive threat actors and DDoS attacks,” said Jeff Wilson, senior
research director of cybersecurity technology for IHS Markit, a global
business information provider. “Cybersecurity teams need the ability to
automatically detect these attacks before they spread and cripple the
entire organization.”
