BreakingPoint announced the launch of its BreakingPoint FireStorm Cyber Tomography Machine (CTM), a compact cyber range in a single device that is essential for hardening critical IT infrastructure.
The device triples the record-setting performance of the company's earlier products to provide a smarter alternative to the antiquated cyber ranges used for arming and training cyber warriors to defend national infrastructure. By leveraging BreakingPoint's patented network processor technology, the BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM creates the most precise simulation of Internet-scale cyber warfare conditions at 120 gigabits per second (Gbps) from a single three-slot device. The evolved simulations include complex and long-term Advanced Persistent Threats while generating 90 million concurrent global users and everyday application traffic and network situations.
BreakingPoint CTO and Co-founder Dennis Cox, said, "BreakingPoint's mission is to simulate the entire online world, from generating a real-world mix of stateful application traffic to simulating lethal security attacks, and modeling behavior from a growing global user base," said BreakingPoint CTO Dennis Cox. "The controlled chaos created by the BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM replicates the dangerous and complex scenarios military units and enterprise businesses face on a daily basis. And because the BreakingPoint FireStorm is an evolved, compact cyber range device, it can be deployed cost-effectively at every military base and enterprise. Training using these realistic scenarios prepares the military and enterprises to proactively fight against global attack. Without doing so, you are effectively sending warriors into battle unarmed."
The BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM's performance capabilities deliver the same conditions found in the world's largest cyber ranges, including those from DARPA's National Cyber Range, Department of Homeland Security's DETER test bed and other ranges maintained by the defense industrial base. Like other innovations that have been miniaturized and simplified to put vital capabilities into the hands of the masses, the BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM provides this same functionality in a compact device. The BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM allows government organizations to replace costly and ineffective cyber range implementations and provides an ideal device for enterprise businesses to harden their defenses and train their IT professionals.
Powered by BreakingPoint's patented network processor technology, the BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM delivers substantial application and attack traffic performance gains, and features more than 4,500 live security attacks, more than 150 real-world applications and a 17-fold increase in SSL bulk encryption to 38 Gbps with any cipher. It also provides an increase in universal 10 GigE/1GigE ports and dozens of new features. The BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM is supported by the BreakingPoint Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) program, which distributes weekly updates of applications and attacks to maintain resiliency in the face of changing conditions. Optional Custom Application and Custom Attack tool kits enable researchers to develop and accelerate their own traffic and attacks.
BreakingPoint is the standard by which the world's governments, enterprises and service providers measure and harden the resiliency of their network and data center infrastructures.
