Spirent First to Incorporate NetSecOPEN Test Suite into Security and Performance Testing Platform

CyberFlood solution simplifies network testing for industry open-standards compliance

Spirent Communications plc. (LSE: SPT), the trusted provider of test, measurement, assurance, and analytics solutions for next-generation devices and networks, today announced that it has fully incorporated the NetSecOPEN test suite into its CyberFlood testing platform. The new built-in capabilities provide CyberFlood users with the ability to easily perform assessments of their security systems using the full breadth of NetSecOPEN’s open network security test standard methodologies.

NetSecOPEN is a vendor-independent standards body that brings together leading testing solutions vendors, security vendors, and testing labs to develop transparent, open, and public standards-based cybersecurity performance testing. Spirent Communications joined NetSecOPEN as a founding member in 2017, and has played an important role in developing the organization’s open testing standard for next-generation firewalls (NGFW).

Spirent’s CyberFlood is the first assessment solution to integrate all current NetSecOPEN tests. With this latest version, users can easily access NetSecOPEN’s standards-based methodologies to assess and validate how deployment-ready security solutions impact network performance. These methodologies cover a wide range of use cases, including enterprise perimeter security mix traffic, cybersecurity assessment with pre-defined attack and malware scenarios, and a growing set of primary performance tests for bandwidth and capacity based on fully open and transparent standards.
