We used the solution to test and validate security certification for applications. We validated testing for traffic scenarios and multiple protocols as we created policies in the firewall using it.

We are using Ixia BreakingPoint for security testing by generating traffic.

Our primary use for Ixia BreakingPoint is stress testing. We are curently evaluating SDWAN solution. Ixia BP generate traffic and is simulating around 200 users.

We didn't want to hire hundreds of people to simulate user web access. ;-)

 We bought the  BreakingPoint to take care of it.

We use it for building and backend use cases. We also have a verification firewall and visibility use cases.

We use the solution to simulate traffic within the cyber range. We also use it for legacy protocols.

It is for network and security testing. It is not used for applications network and security solutions.

We use Ixia BreakingPoint as a security tester oriented to test other network security solutions. Validation is needed in case of major changes in your network security infrastructure. It might be a change in your HW, major change in architecture or if you just want to be sure, that new feature will not have an effect on the performance of your security solution. We use it for IDS, anti-malware, anti-DDoS, anti-ransomware, etc.

You can use it also for testing the impact of an attack on your valid application traffic and infrastructure. Ixia BreakingPoint provides us with advanced network security features.
