BreakingPoint Systems is a global cybersecurity company with strong growth propelled by demand for advance insight into the performance, security and stability—resiliency—of applications, devices, networks and data centers under high-stress conditions. The company serves global market segments including network equipment manufacturers, telecommunications providers, Global 2000 enterprises, and government agencies that are increasingly reliant upon faster and more sophisticated network and security devices, and virtualized infrastructures.

As the complexity and performance of IT infrastructures grows unabated, buyers are facing ever-increasing pressures to optimize and secure operations while cutting costs. To answer these needs, BreakingPoint introduced the first and only line of Cyber Tomography Machines (CTMs) providing the real-world applications, live security attacks, modeling capabilities, and test automation to find network vulnerabilities and weaknesses before the enemy does.

BreakingPoint’s patented products are comprehensive, easy to use, and highly scalable, simulating the behavior of millions of online and mobile application users as they work, shop, post, stream, talk, download, spread malware and steal data. The products also feature the BreakingPoint Resiliency Score, a standardized measure of the performance, security, and stability of networks, data centers and the elements that make up those infrastructures.

BreakingPoint’s history of rapid innovation has resulted in the introduction of a wide range of new capabilities to BreakingPoint’s all-inclusive products. Today, BreakingPoint products are the only all-in-one testing solutions available to:
