GEC NEWS WIREA10 Networks Partners with ThreatSTOP for enhanced Security of ADC and DDoS Portfolio
“Our goal is to enable our customers to deliver an amazing application experience that is not only fast, always on and personalized, but also safe and secure,” said Sanjay Kapoor, VP of global marketing at A10 Networks. “When it comes to network security, more knowledge equals more power and proactively blocking connections from known attackers prevents our customers from becoming cyber victims. We selected ThreatSTOP because of its experience and track record in delivering effective feeds and, as a result, have significantly enhanced our threat smart solutions.”
With a Threat Intelligence network that continuously charts potential intruders on the Internet, customers can leverage global knowledge to block traffic from malicious Internet locations and offload existing security infrastructures from identifying known bots and attack sources. The A10 Threat Intelligence Service additionally catches security threats that customers’ existing defenses may not be designed for, such as spam or phishing sources, or attacks a device simply is not configured for.
“ThreatSTOP gathers data about active command and control systems, and the bots under their control, as well as improperly provisioned third-party hosts that are abused to amplify attacks, and makes it actionable in a timely way,” said ThreatSTOP CEO and Founder Tom Byrnes. “This large and rapidly changing list of malicious network infrastructure is a perfect match to apply to A10 Networks Thunder ADC and TPS systems due to their capacity and scalability.”
A10 Networks’ Threat Intelligence Service is available for Thunder ADC and Thunder TPS product lines in Q3 2015.
