Keysight Announces 400GE Network Cybersecurity Test Platform

PRESS RELEASE

SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced the new APS-M8400 Modular Network Cybersecurity Test Platform, which provides data center network equipment manufacturers (NEM) and operators with the industry’s highest density 8-port 400GE Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Double Density (QSFP-DD) network security test platform.

Data center operators and service providers are facing exponential growth in encrypted traffic volumes and security threats driven by increases in video streaming, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and internet of things (IoT) devices. In addition, with the introduction of 400GE, critical infrastructure is placed under even greater demand as these growing volumes of encrypted traffic are being delivered at unprecedented speed. To meet these requirements, data center NEMs and operators need tools that can validate that their products and services support hyperscale loads without compromising security and usability.

Keysight’s APS-M8400 addresses this challenge by delivering a modular, 400GE network security test platform that aggregates compute and field programmable gate array (FPGA) resources to deliver hyperscale application and cybersecurity test and validation.

The APS-M8400 test platform offers the following benefits:

John Maddison, Executive Vice President of Products and Chief Marketing Officer at Fortinet, said: “The world’s fastest NGFWs need an equally nimble testing platform to validate their capabilities. Fortinet is the only vendor delivering 400GE interface speeds on a hyperscale firewall via the FortiGate 7121F, 4800F, and 3700F. Keysight’s groundbreaking 8x400GE APS-M8400 cybersecurity test platform delivers the port density, multi-terabit application and TLS throughput rates, and session scalability that help Fortinet test and validate the performance and real-time threat protection our customers expect.”

Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Keysight's Network Test and Security Solutions, said: “Data center NEMs and operators face conflicting demands to produce solutions that support ever increasing data volumes and traffic speeds driven by new standards like 400GE, while protecting systems against a growing, dynamic cybersecurity threat landscape - all without breaking the bank. Keysight’s APS-8400 meets these teams where they are, delivering hyperscale application and cybersecurity test loads via an industry leading 8 x 400GE of test port density in a flexible solution that allows users to add test capacity as demands and budgets change."
