A10 Networks solution awarded DDoS
defence effectiveness certification
NimbusDDOS. “This shows a
commitment by A10 to provide
enterprises with the best possible
protections. The NimbusDDOS tests
aren’t performed in a controlled lab, they
are launched across the Internet and
functionally identical to those of a real-
world attacker. Regardless of the attack
vector, the A10 Thunder TPS shrugged
them off with minimal effort and no loss
of legitimate traffic.”
The A10 Thunder TPS detects and
mitigates terabit-sized DDoS attacks at
the network edge. It has an industry-
leading 440 Mpps with 300 Gbps in a
single appliance – offering up to 11 times
the performance of legacy solutions.
Thunder TPS scales to defend against
the DDoS of Things and traditional
zombie botnets, detecting DDoS attacks
through in-line detection or flow record
analysis from edge routers and switches.

NimbusDDOS is a recognised industry
leader in DDoS attack testing,
certification and preparedness. The
organisation distinguishes itself from
traditional testing companies by using
the cloud as the delivery mechanism
and providing delivery methods that are
focused on real world situations.

In order to achieve certification,
A10’s Thunder TPS was put through
stringent testing. TPS was assaulted
with multi-vector DDoS attacks at scale,
representing 95% of the attacks seen
in the wild, from the NimbusDDOS
cloud-based attack simulation platform.
TPS correctly detected, classified and
mitigated the attacks while ensuring
that legitimate user traffic experienced
no perceived degradation or dropped
legitimate packets.
“I’m very impressed with A10 accepting
the NimbusDDOS challenge and
becoming the first DDoS mitigation
vendor to pass our certification
process,” said Andrew Shoemaker,
Founder and Chief Engineer with
The solution is built on A10’s market-
proven advanced core operating system
(ACOS) – the platform that delivers
scalable form factors that reduce
overall TCO with a complete detection,
mitigation and reporting solution.
“We are proud to be the first and only
DDoS solution provider to be awarded
defence effectiveness certification by
NimbusDDOS,” said Paul Nicholson,
Director of Product Marketing at A10
Networks. “Today’s DDoS attacks have
evolved and become more sophisticated
and potentially harmful than ever before.
Our focus is providing our customers
with the most effective, scalable DDoS
defence that can surgically defend
against attacks while making sure there
is no disruption in legitimate traffic.” u
