Ixia's IxLoad-Attack Receives Security Industry's Global Excellence Award
CALABASAS, CA, Mar 06, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Ixia (NASDAQ: XXIA), the leading global provider of converged IP
and wireless network test solutions, announced today that Info
Security Products Guide, the industry's leading information security
research and advisory guide, has named IxLoad-Attack(TM) -- its
network security validation solution -- as a winner of the 2012
Global Excellence Awards in the Vulnerability Assessment,
Remediation, and Management category. IxLoad-Attack was evaluated by
a panel of over 50 industry experts, validating the importance of
network operators' need to find infrastructure vulnerabilities and
weaknesses before they can be exploited on live networks --
protecting customer data, financial holdings, and brand reputation.
IxLoad-Attack measures the performance of network security appliances
and validates that they effectively and accurately block attacks,
while delivering high end-user quality of experience for
mission-critical applications. Customized, real-world network traffic
provides the "good" reference traffic that security devices must
forward without affecting customer quality of experience (QoE).
IxLoad-Attack is the only product that provides malicious traffic
over both encrypted and non-encrypted links. It assesses security
perimeter devices such as firewall intrusion detection and prevention
systems (IDS/IPS), anti-virus filters, VPN gateways, and wireless
security via generic tunneling protocol (GTP).
"IxLoad-Attack introduces a critical capability that network
operators once lacked, and Info Security Products Guide's recognition
reaffirms its importance to the industry," said Atul Bhatnagar,
president and CEO of Ixia. "As the only product that provides
malicious traffic over both encrypted and non-encrypted links,
IxLoad-Attack is ahead of the curve when it comes to the
best-of-the-best products that provide the highest security in
vulnerability assessment."
