Evaluate Devices and Applications

Conduct repeatable, standardized and deterministic network equipment evaluations

 

The BreakingPoint Storm CTM enables you to quickly evaluate and select the most appropriate network equipment for your infrastructure with standardized, repeatable and deterministic product assessments. With built-in automation to create the most realistic scenarios and lethal attacks, you can measure the resiliency of routers, switches, firewalls, IPS, UTM, and other devices prior to deployment and after patches or configuration changes.

To make evaluations more standardized, repeatable and deterministic, the BreakingPoint Resiliency Score provides an automated reproducible scoring mechanism to continuously validate resiliency in the face of network changes and new security threats. The BreakingPoint Resiliency Score:

  • Enables you to validate manufacturer marketing claims.
  • Provides a standardized measurement to identify equipment in need of replacement.
  • Provides an accurate assessment of your overall cyber infrastructure risks and liabilities.
  • Helps you harden your entire cyber infrastructure against attack.

Using the transparent, documented assessment to benchmark a Resiliency Score, customers and service providers perform an ongoing testing regimen. Using the Resiliency Assessment and Validation Service, companies can respond more quickly and appropriately to any changes in system configuration or the threat environment that may lower a Resiliency Score.  Starting with a resiliency assessment and validation limits liability by demonstrating that systems are held in compliance with defined limits, or, alternately, how frequently and for how long they have dipped beneath them.

Using the BreakingPoint Resiliency Score Assessment and Validation Service organizations can:

  • Hold vendors accountable for published performance and security claims.
  • Establish risk models for managed security service engagements.  
  • Institute and consistently analyze accurate and realistic liability models.
  • Identify deployments that are inherently less resilient and therefore have more risk.
  • Create tiered pricing models that take into account the liability and risk models.
