BreakingPoint to Demonstrate Cyber Range Simulation Breakthrough at MILCOM 2009 Conference

BOSTON, MA – Oct. 19, 2009 – BreakingPoint Government Solutions Group will be performing demonstrations of the company’s cyber range simulation capabilities at MILCOM 2009 (Booth 453). BreakingPoint’s Internet-scale cyber simulation capabilities enable organizations to harden networks and data centers against costly failures through commercial, military and government network traffic generation. This unique capability helps customers to determine how all elements of their networks will perform — individually or as a whole — under real-world conditions.

BreakingPoint products deliver cyber simulation on a scale never before possible without building and maintaining an enormous environment similar to the vision for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s National Cyber Range. The three-slot BreakingPoint chassis replicates massive Internet-scale network traffic in order to find and address critical performance issues and security vulnerabilities. With accurate insight into how every aspect of the network or data center will perform in the real world prior to deployment, customers can make more informed decisions, accelerate the delivery of next-generation technical solutions, and mitigate the risk of costly failures in the face of escalating traffic volume and security threats.

Demonstration:

BreakingPoint will demonstrate the following exclusive capabilities at MILCOM 2009:

• Network element testing and validation with high-performance blended application and security traffic to mitigate the risk of network failures, performance bottlenecks and security breaches.
• Distributed denial of service, botnet and other contemporary attack generation to ensure that defense-in-depth measures will defend networks, applications and data against cyber assaults.
• Comprehensive resiliency testing to validate vendor claims and accelerate the delivery of next-generation products, applications and solutions.
• Internet-scale cyber simulation in a small-footprint device to reduce the total cost of ownership of systems that replicate global network conditions.
• Realistic IPv4 and IPv6 application traffic and security attack generation to ensure compliance with industry and government standards.

BreakingPoint Government Solutions Group provides Network Resiliency Testing™ tools to help government agencies and contractors harden network elements and the network as a whole against collapse during a cyber attack. Only BreakingPoint simulates real-world network conditions at the scale required to assure the resiliency of enterprise, service provider, and government networks and data center infrastructures. BreakingPoint is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with offices throughout the world.
