“Ensuring that our next-generation firewall keeps up with this evolution is critical to our ability to compete successfully. Mu Dynamics' solution for app-aware testing gives us the means to do so, quickly and accurately.”

Nir Zuk
Founder and CTO, Palo Alto Networks

Network security systems, like next-generation firewalls, UTMs, IPS/IDSs and security gateways, are key components of the network infrastructure. You need to ensure your application-related policies are working as expected, the latest security threats are detected and prevented, and your network can scale and perform to support your customers.

How We Can Help

  • Application Detection: Replicate the latest applications and validate detection capabilities of the network security system
  • Application Control: Test the ability to control the detected applications through features like white-listing, connection/rate limiting, application QoS, URL filtering, and data loss prevention/data exfiltration
  • Scalability & Performance: Validate the ability of the network security components (e.g. IPS/IDS, ALG, Proxy and NAT) to handle millions of users with real applications
  • Security: Test security capabilities by detecting and preventing attacks as seen on the real network, including DDOS attacks, known vulnerabilities, and malware
