Security Testing

Security technologies often perform differently under realistic workloads than they do in isolated lab environments. The only way to truly understand how security controls behave is to test them using genuine user activity combined with realistic cyber threats. 

We provide and support Keysight PerfectStorm, that creates highly realistic traffic profiles that simulate thousands (and even millions) of end users interacting with business applications while simultaneously introducing malware, exploits and malicious traffic. 

This enables companies to validate individual security devices as well as complete security architectures under the same conditions they’ll experience in production, providing confidence that performance and protection are maintained even during large-scale attacks. 

Selecting the right security technology requires more than comparing specifications or reading independent reviews. Every company’s network, applications, and user behaviour are different, making realistic evaluation essential. 

We provide and support Keysight PerfectStorm Keysight PerfectStorm ONE. It builds representative environments that generate authentic application traffic alongside sophisticated cyber attacks, allowing you to evaluate the true performance and effectiveness of security solutions before deployment. 

Whether comparing next-gen firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, malware sandboxes, or other security technologies, we help customers understand how products perform within their own environment, identify their operational limits, and determine which solution best meets their requirements. 

PerfectStorm ONE also enables interoperability testing between security technologies, ensuring products such as traffic decryptors, intrusion detection systems, and other security controls work together effectively before going live. 

Alongside the technology, we can provide complete evaluation, benchmarking, and interoperability testing as a professional service, delivering independent results that support confident purchasing and deployment decisions. 

Hybrid infrastructure, cloud-native applications, and secure remote access have transformed enterprise networking, so security testing must evolve to validate these increasingly complex environments. 

Thanks to Keysight CyPerf, we can empower you to simulate realistic user behaviour, encrypted application traffic, and web transactions across both physical and cloud infrastructures, introducing malware, exploits, and other attack techniques to verify that security controls remain effective under realistic operating conditions. 

CyPerf also lets you validate VPN performance, verify Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) policies, evaluate Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) deployments, and test SD-WAN migrations before production rollout. 

By accurately modelling real-world workloads, you can gain confidence that modern security architectures will perform as expected when supporting business-critical applications and distributed users. 

Modern applications rely on thousands of software components, many originating from third-party suppliers and open-source projects. Understanding exactly what’s inside your software is essential for managing risk and responding quickly to newly disclosed vulnerabilities. 

We provide and support Keysight SBOM Manager for end-to-end Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation, management, and vulnerability tracking. The platform continuously inventories software components, monitors newly published vulnerabilities, and identifies where they exist across your applications and development pipelines. 

This provides complete visibility into software supply chain risk, helping you prioritise remediation, demonstrate compliance, and reduce exposure to vulnerabilities before they become security incidents.
