Live Security Attacks

Punish your cyber infrastructure with live security attacks to prepare for the real-world

 

Major breaches in the world’s most ‘secure’ networks are now a common occurrence. Hundreds of Botnets are resident on computers in the United States’ ‘secure’ military and federal government networks. Chinese hackers were able to exploit Google’s network vulnerabilities to steal intellectual property that threatens the search giant’s market dominance. Clearly, neither the war on cyber crime nor the industry’s most sophisticated cyber defense measures are working to prevent terrorists and network pirates from pillaging government, service provider and enterprise infrastructures.

cyber threat pandemicWith each new successful attack, confidence in defensive measures erodes. Leaders are left with a false sense of security and an uneasy feeling that their IT infrastructure will be the next target. Concerns mount over the liabilities associated with protecting customer data and meeting government regulations. With so much on the line, leaders want objective metrics-based insight into the behavior of every element of their global network infrastructure under actual cyber attack.

The BreakingPoint Storm CTM™ simulates more than 4,500 live security attacks, providing the most up-to-date collection of real-world strikes to assess the performance and security of IT devices and systems. Vulnerabilities are ever-changing and users of BreakingPoint Storm CTM are provided with new strikes on a nearly weekly basis, including full Microsoft Tuesday coverage. The only way to truly measure the security of any IT element or system is to attack it with live strikes. BreakingPoint Storm CTM provides that realistic environment:

  • More than 4,500 live security attacks.
  • Full Microsoft Tuesday® Coverage.
  • Botnet Command & Control and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Simulation – Ensure network devices can detect Botnets and mitigate DDoS attacks.
  • Complex Attack Scenarios – Simulate a wide range of sophisticated attacks with more than 80 evasion techniques.
  • Obfuscations – Not content with simply assaulting infrastructure devices with thousands of attacks, BreakingPoint subjects these attacks to 80+ different evasions (such as fragmentation and out-of-order packet delivery) to make them more realistic – and more difficult to detect.
  • Protocol fuzzing – As networking devices evolve and become more protocol-aware, they offer a larger attack surface and expose more potential areas of instability.  By intentionally sending out application or packet data containing injected errors, BreakingPoint exposes rarely-tested parts of a networking device to scrutiny and can reveal stability and security weaknesses.
