Sustaining Connections, During Load
How? Attack Thyself!Real Attacks• 4,500 live security attacks• 100+ evasions• Malware• Spam• DDoS and Botnet simulation• Custom attacks• Research and frequent updates
Real World Applications• 150+ application protocols• Social media, peer-to-peer, voice, video• Web and enterprise applications, gaming• Custom applications• Frequent updates
Unprecedented Performance• 120 Gbps blended application traffic• 90M concurrent TCP sessions• 3M TCP sessions/second• 38 Gbps SSL bulk encryption
Validating High-Performance Gear
REMEMBER TO EVALUATE:1. Performance with blended applications2. Performance with security rules enabled3. Ability to set-up AND tear-down connections4. Ability to sustain connections, during load
