Spirent: Optimizing Cybersecurity with Unified Security and performance Testing
New networks aren't just becoming more complex - they're also changing at an unprecedented pace and organizations need on-demand, accurate and automated assessment of their security defenses. Current unprecedented situation has heightened dependency on digital technologies and cyber attackers are increasingly seeking methods and means to exploit vulnerabilities in organisation’s security infrastructure. Tackling cyber threats, enterprise and service providers need trusted guidance on how to integrate security into their networks, at the same time continuously assess the effectiveness of the security they have put in place and focus on innovation rather than risk.Most of the time organizations test too little, test too infrequently - or simply rely on vendor-supplied security metrics and not testing at all. No single solution solves all cybersecurity challenges. The key to minimizing risk exposure and optimizing cybersecurity spending involves visibility into the current security posture and continuous validation of the security landscape. Of course, there are many security products and services that offer partial solutions - from vulnerability scanning to penetration testing to various attack simulation products. The question is how to select among them and right-size multiple assessment approaches to fit the organization’s unique demand and requirements.
Spirent facilitates this effort by providing solutions that not only cover each phase of the cybersecurity challenges, but also work well together to complement and add value to each other. Spirent’s unified cybersecurity solutions enable organizations to reduce the complexities of security and performance validation and help them minimize their investment of capital and IT resources, while maximizing the effectiveness of the security they put in place.
Spirent has a long history of supporting a wide variety of protocols and continues to stay ahead of the curve in empowering enterprises, service providers and network equipment manufacturers to take proactive measures to ensure high performance security efficacy. Spirent’s cybersecurity portfolio covers the entire risk mitigation cycle with unified security and performance testing solutions for enterprise infrastructures, IoT, 5G core and security solutions development and its wide range of solutions & capabilities can be combined based on each organization’s priorities. Key highlights of Spirent’s flagship security test solutions are:
Spirent CyberFlood ensures that organizations are able to assess at the depth needed to identify risks at all layers, including L4-7. TestCloud, a core component of CyberFlood, has a library of tens of thousands of realistic applications and attack vectors and is regularly updated to ensure load and functional testing with unparalleled scalability. CyberFlood provides built-in NetSecOPEN standardized tests to easily validate key performance capabilities of modern firewalls and security solutions. Enterprises, service providers and network equipment manufacturers can harness this comprehensive security platform to test and enforce application policies; benchmark performance & capacities and validate network security.
Spirent Security Labs provides managed security services that enable organizations to proactively, independently and objectively identify security vulnerabilities. For critical networks, applications and devices, organizations need both automated and manual testing to ensure proper defenses against constantly morphing threat landscape.
Unlike other managed testing service providers, SecurityLabs offers penetration testing and monitoring of networks, applications, devices & endpoints and a unified SaaS-based platform that automates vulnerability scanning of applications, networks, devices and source code - including 5G networks & IoT devices.
The platform is unique in its ability to provide secure, on-demand access to actionable insights. Based on Spirent’s cross-BU DNA, it helps prioritize risk arising from vulnerabilities and accelerate remediation efforts, creating a cost-effective, easy-to-use, robust vulnerability assessment option.
Spirent cybersecurity solutions and its unique approach cover the full spectrum of security & performance and encourage organizations to get accurate and continuous assessment, so that they begin to see precisely, what value they’re getting from their current security investments and ensure that their security posture is effective and strategic.
