Using Mu Studio Security, you can confidently ensure that your applications and network infrastructure are bulletproof by:

  • Measuring their ability to detect and prevent thousands of known attacks
  • Testing their resiliency by sending it millions unexpected or malicious input
  • Measuring their ability to withstand targeted DDOS attacks
  • Testing their capabilities to inspect traffic for malware, unwanted URLs and spam and take appropriate action 

Differentiators

  • Unified: One solution for all your security needs – DDOS, Known attacks, Fuzz testing, Malware and spam prevention, application white or black listing
  • Exhaustive: Rapidly run millions of test, so you can thoroughly protect your system or network against security issues
  • Flexible: Adapt your test cases to the needs of your network, product and use case. Mu Dynamics offers the most adaptive security-testing platform that lets you quickly create custom tests for your unique protocols and applications without scripting

Key Capabilities

Fuzz Testing

Fuzz testing is the most effective way to run negative tests on your target for unexpected inputs and events. This method efficiently covers the unexpected, negative test cases that often cause catastrophic and costly crashes or failures on the live network.

DDOS Replication

Quickly replicate a large variety of actual and potential DDoS attacks to test the resiliency of their applications and services. Mu Studio Security also presents actionable data for DDoS detection, prevention and capacity planning to ensure the organization can make the changes they need to better prepare their infrastructure to protect against a successful DDoS attack. for DDoS detection, prevention and capacity planning.

Known Vulnerabilities

The Published Vulnerabilities (PV) Module offers a continuously growing list of software vulnerability triggers, which mirrors the latest real-world attacks found in the wild on the Internet. The Published Vulnerabilities module validates any inline signature-based product’s ability to detect and block root causes instead of symptoms.

Security Capability Verification

Security features such as malware detection and prevention, url filtering, white-listing and black-listing of applications can be easily done with Mu Studio Security.

Monitors

The rich set of monitors hook into the target and help isolate and reproduce faults. Monitors include protocol health checks, SNMP monitors, SSH and Telnet based command monitors, remote log monitors and console monitors.

Remediation Tools

In addition to finding issues, Mu Studio Security helps fix the issues found by providing resilience testers with remediation assets that can be used by engineers. These assets are sent to developers so that issues are replicated and fixed rapidly.

Automation

Mu Studio Security is designed for automation with a rich set of API interfaces that can be accessed from a TCL, Python, Perl or other similar automation frameworks. The solution can also be set into a mode that enables lights-out testing, automatically restarting targets if they crash during a test run.
