    • 80,000+ SSL sessions per second
    • 30 million concurrent TCP sessions
    • 1.5 million TCP sessions per second
    • 600,000 steady state complete TCP sessions per second
  • 1GigE and 10GigE Interfaces – Mix or match your choice of an 8-port 1 GigE or 4-port 10 GigE interface card.
  • Scalable – Scale to enormous performance levels with multiple chassis using a single user interface, one configuration and integrated reporting.

Realistic and Adaptive: More than 4,500 Security Attacks, More than 130 Applications and Frequent Updates

cyber attack database

  • Live Security Attacks – Security is in the DNA of BreakingPoint, providing an extensive and always current library of 4,500 live security attacks,and frequent updatespublished by our dedicated team of in-house security researchers. Using advanced security coprocessor technology, these attacks are randomized, obfuscated, and undetectable by trivial pattern-matching Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) algorithms.
  • Real-World Applications – Select and blend stateful application traffic from a library of more than 130 stateful application protocols ready to be simulated. These are some of the world’s most used protocols including AOL IM®, BlackBerry® Services, Encrypted BitTorrent™, FIX/FIXT, Google® Gmail, HTTP, HTTPS, IBM DB2®, MAPI, Microsoft® CIFS/SMB, MSN Nexus, Oracle®, PP Live,QQ IM, RADIUS, SIP, Skype, SMTP, VMware® VMotion™, Windows Live Messenger, World of Warcraft®, Yahoo!® Mail and Messenger and many others.
  • Custom Toolkits – Use the optional Custom Toolkits to accelerate attacks and unique/proprietary protocols.

Comprehensive: Real-World Scenarios

  • Network Profiles – Use preconfigured traffic profiles built to represent a range of network scenarios—wireless, global service provider, enterprise, government and others.
  • Application Simulator – Measure the ability of a network device to accurately process a variety of application layer traffic flows.
  • Client Simulator – Measure the ability of a server or server farm to efficiently handle extreme traffic volume by simulating the behavior of millions of concurrent users.
  • Security – Subject a device to thousands of unique security attacks to validate blocking capabilities or confirm the stability of devices under attack.
  • Session Sender – Measure the ability of a device to handle concurrent TCP sessions. It creates and maintains large numbers of valid TCP sessions with contrived data.
  • Stack Scrambler – Measure the ability of a device to operate in the face of invalid IP, UDP and TCP packets produced by fuzzing.
  • Recreate – Capture and recreate traffic flows that are independent of network topology.
  • Routing Robot – Measure the ability of a device to correctly route IP packets by producing IP packets with a UDP payload.

Easy-to-Use, Scale and Update: Extensive Automation, Preconfigured Labs and Intuitive User Interface

  • Simulation Labs – BreakingPoint Storm CTM provides a growing number of pre-configured interfaces which automatically combine all of the elements needed for many common assessments including:
  • Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) for Updates, Service and Support – BreakingPoint Storm CTM users automatically receive the latest attacks, applications and operating systems upgrades at no additional cost, as well as access to comprehensive service and support with Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI).
  • Network Neighborhood – Unique within the industry, the BreakingPoint Storm CTM advanced user interface separates application simulation components from a particular network topology, making it simple to scale and to reconfigure simulations around new requirements. This object-oriented user interface eliminates complexity and makes it easy to reuse parameters and application settings by layering them on top of easily reconfigured network topologies.
  • Device Control and Automation – Connect directly to a network or data center device and stress it with real-world traffic. This automation gathers performance and security measurements without the need for a separate switch.
  • Test Import/Export – BreakingPoint Storm CTM allows users to share and re-use simulations through easy import/export functionality and not coupling them to specific hardware or interfaces of a given chassis.
  • Extensive Reporting – Generate comprehensive and configurable reports, in Web/PDF format or as raw data, that provide insight and analysis to staff at all levels. Automatically produce detailed reports to streamline remediation efforts.
  • Multi-User – Conduct up to 16 concurrent simulations per chassis for maximum productivity, and add multiple users with varying privileges.
  • Tcl API – Build your own sophisticated scenarios with our full-featured programmatic TCL interface.

Repeatable, Deterministic and Scientific: Proven Methodologies, Repeatable Labs and Pseudo Random Number Generation

  • Prepackaged and Repeatable Simulation Labs – BreakingPoint Storm CTM offers pre-configured simulation labs which require minimal modification each time to simplify setup and minimize variations caused by subtle configuration changes.
  • Pseudo Random Number Generation (PRNG) – BreakingPoint Storm CTM offers a number of randomization options, including the option for global setting of a PRNGnetwork resiliency security performance seed.  This ensures that even the randomized components of a simulation sequence may be repeated identically across multiple cycles.
  • BreakingPoint Resiliency Score™– BreakingPoint Resiliency Score offers a deterministic means to measure the performance, security, and stability of a network infrastructure. With virtually no configuration effort, users can easily compare the resiliency of numerous networking devices or highlight scoring trends over time in order to harden their network infrastructure.
