A10 is the Industry’s First DDoS Protection
Solution to Receive Certification Backed by NimbusDDOS Rigorous
Testing
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 Unlike outdated DDoS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.
