SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 12/21/15 — (NYSE: ATEN), the leader in application networking and security, today announced a collaboration with Verisign to enable hybrid DDoS mitigation strategies for customers. A10 Networks further announced enhancements to its market-leading multi-vector solution, (Threat Protection System) — including the ability to send alerts to Verisign–s cloud-based DDoS Protection Service using the OpenHybrid API.
Thunder TPS 3.2 now enables more organizations to intelligently provide an always-on application experience. New features and customer benefits include:
Traffic baselines leverage multi-protocol behavioral indicators to learn peacetime network conditions, enabling precise detection of anomalies. Dynamic mitigation policies escalate suspect traffic through progressively tougher countermeasures to minimize legitimate traffic drops. DevOps can leverage event-based scripting for increased operational agility.
The redirection option utilizes the Verisign OpenHybrid API to provide anomaly information and can trigger a swing of customer–s traffic to Verisign–s cloud-based services when volumetric DDoS protection is needed. This hybrid solution broadens the market reach of Thunder TPS to enterprises with limited internet bandwidth.
Leveraging open networking standards, Thunder TPS mitigation integrates easily with existing DDoS detection solutions. Open networking standards support enables tight integration with many other devices, including SDN controllers and security products.
In addition to Thunder 3.2 and the Verisign DDoS Protection Service, organizations can further complement their DDoS protection with the recently announced:
. Empowering administrators to centrally manage multiple Thunder TPS deployments to enable real-time troubleshooting, incident management and reporting.
