Problem: Ensuring Cloud DDOS Protection Is Working

 

The frequency and scale of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are increasing and they are becoming easier to carry out. It is no surprise that DDoS is a leading cause of business service outage and a top concern for companies today.

 

While cloud providers enable a variety of options to build cost-effective, elastic, and highly available applications, enterprises have a shared responsibility to ensure their DDoS protection controls are properly configured. To protect both their bottom line and user experience, companies need a way to validate their cloud-based DDoS protection.

 

Solution: Proactive, Continuous Cloud DDOS Protection Validation

 

As cloud is the new normal, continuous testing of DDoS protection services on cloud infrastructures needs to be the new normal too.

Keysight BreakingPoint Cloud—Microsoft Azure DDoS Protection Validation provides continuous insights into the security posture of cloud environments by safely modeling DDoS traffic so you can assess the effectiveness of your DDoS protection services.

BreakingPoint Cloud builds on more than 20 years of leadership in network security testing to reveal your security exposure across public, private, and hybrid networks.

Key Use-Cases

 

DDoS attacks are a big risk to any business with an online presence. Even a basic test of a DDoS attack can help you discover critical data, including how many packets your DDoS mitigation solution drops, how your mitigation solution functions in a real attack, how your mitigation solution reports DDoS events, what level of service you are able to provide while under attack, and how your people and process react to and withstand an attack. Here are several use cases for BreakingPoint Cloud:

• Validate Microsoft Azure DDoS protection service defenses for your Azure resources

• Produce evidence to document DDoS protection compliance

• Optimize your incident response process while under DDoS attack

• Assure protection service continuity with ongoing DDoS simulation testing

• Train your network security teams
