A10 is the Industry’s First DDoS Protection Solution to Receive
Certification Backed by NimbusDDOS Rigorous Testing
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A10
Networks (NYSE:ATEN), a provider of intelligent and automated
cybersecurity solutions, today announced that the A10 Thunder®
Threat Protection System (TPS) has been awarded the DDoS defense
effectiveness certification by NimbusDDOS. A10 Thunder TPS now becomes
the only DDoS solution in the market to be awarded this certification
from NimbusDDOS.
NimbusDDOS
is a recognized Industry leader in DDoS attack testing, certification,
and preparedness. The organization distinguishes itself from traditional
testing companies by using the Cloud as the delivery mechanism and
providing delivery methods that are focused on real world situations. In
order to achieve certification, A10’s Thunder TPS was put through
stringent testing. TPS was assaulted with multi-vector DDoS attacks at
scale, representing 95% of the attacks seen in the wild, from the
NimbusDDOS cloud-based attack simulation platform. TPS correctly
detected, classified and mitigated the attacks while ensuring that
legitimate user traffic experienced no perceived degradation or dropped
legitimate packets.
“I'm very impressed with A10 accepting the NimbusDDOS challenge and
becoming the first DDoS mitigation vendor to pass our certification
process," said Andrew Shoemaker, Founder and Chief Engineer with
NimbusDDOS. "This shows a commitment by A10 to provide enterprises with
the best possible protections. The NimbusDDOS tests aren't performed in
a controlled lab, they are launched across the Internet and functionally
identical to those of a real-world attacker. Regardless of the attack
vector, the A10 Thunder TPS shrugged them off with minimal effort, and
no loss of legitimate traffic."
The world’s highest-performance DDoS protection solution, A10 Thunder
TPS detects and mitigates terabit-sized DDoS attacks at the network
edge. It’s unmatched with an industry-leading 440 Mpps with 300 Gbps in
a single appliance — offering up to 11 times the performance of legacy
solutions. Thunder TPS scales to defend against the DDoS of Things and
traditional zombie botnets, detecting DDoS attacks through in-line
detection or flow record analysis from edge routers and switches. Unlike
outdated DDoS products, Thunder TPS is built on A10’s market-proven
Advanced Core Operating System (ACOS®) - the platform that delivers
scalable form factors that reduce overall TCO with a complete detection,
mitigation, and reporting solution.
“We are proud to be the first and only DDoS solution provider to be
awarded Defense Effectiveness Certification by NimbusDDOS,” said Paul
Nicholson, Director of Product Marketing at A10 Networks. “Today’s DDoS
attacks have evolved and become more sophisticated and potentially
harmful than ever before. Our focus is providing our customers with the
most effective, scalable DDoS defense that can surgically defend against
attacks while making sure there is no disruption in legitimate traffic.”
The benefits organizations see from deploying A10 Thunder TPS include:
-
Better Detection – One-DDoS Protection provides a unique
approach to full-spectrum DDoS defense, placing detection capabilities
within targeted infrastructure, including Thunder TPS, ADC, CGN and
CFW solutions. This provides advanced context, flow and packet level
visibility to stop today’s most sophisticated targeted attacks.
-
Unmatched Scalability – Delivers 22 times the flow-based
detection capacity and 15 times as many simultaneous active
mitigations as legacy systems.
-
Automated Wartime Protection - Improved attack response times
with intelligent automation featuring five levels of programmatic
mitigation escalation and de-escalation. Removing the need for
frontline personnel to make time-consuming manual changes.
-
Reduced Security OPEX - Delivers high performance in a compact
factor with lower power usage, rack space and cooling requirements.
Also, aGalaxy TPS streamlines operations via centralized management,
remediation, and analytics for Thunder TPS deployments.
