Keysight (KEYS) Validates Fortinet's NGFW Against DDoS Threats
Read MoreHide Full Article
Keysight Technologies (KEYS - Free Report) announced that Fortinet opted for their APS-M8400 network cybersecurity test platform to assess the efficiency and reliability of its FortiGate 4800F next-generation firewall (NGFW) in combating large-scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
Keysight’s platform is the industry's first 8-port 400GE Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Double Density network security test platform. The platform is used to scrutinize the firewall's defense capabilities against hyperscale DDoS assaults and its ability to maintain carrier-grade performance.
The platform is aimed to address the escalating threat of cyber-attacks, particularly DDoS attacks on carrier networks, data centers, and service providers. In response to this surge in cyber threats, Fortinet developed the FortiGate 4800F NGFW, powered by 16 NP7 network processors. Fortinet has also sought validation through Keysight's APS-M8400 to ensure its effectiveness prior to deployment.
Furthermore, the flexibility of the APS-M8400's interfaces allowed Fortinet to conduct comprehensive tests across various port configurations, demonstrating its compatibility with the FortiGate 4800F's supported port setups. Additionally, the platform's scalability facilitated the creation of a robust test environment capable of generating 3 Tbps of traffic.
The user-friendly management interface of the APS-M8400 streamlined the testing process, enabling easy configuration of resources and reducing overall test time and maintenance efforts for Fortinet, thereby allowing more focus on critical tasks.
Keysight is a leading provider of electronic design and test instrumentation systems. The rapid adoption of Internet of Things services, wireless devices, data centers and 5G technologies is increasing demand for electronics testing equipment.
In November, the company announced that Arbe, a prominent radar system maker, has opted to validate a 4D imaging radar chipset leveraging Keysight’s proprietary millimeter wave technology. The 4D radar chipsets are a significant advancement in radar systems for automotive use compared to legacy radar sensors.
Prior to that, the company announced that SWISSto12 had opted to leverage the Keysight Payload Test System to evaluate the RF payloads of the HummingSat telecommunications satellite, Intelsat 45. SWISSto12, a prominent satellite and RF payload manufacturer in Europe, is aiming to ensure that its small payload meets all performance parameters critical for the mission’s success, which is scheduled for 2026.
Keysight currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Shares of the company have lost 8.7% over the past year compared with the industry’s decline of 6.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Pegasystems’ 2023 earnings per share (EPS) has improved 21.2% in the past 60 days to $1.77. PEGA delivered an average earnings surprise of 1,250.2% in the trailing four quarters. Shares of PEGA have soared 51% in the past year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Flex’s fiscal 2024 EPS has increased 3.6% in the past 60 days to $2.56. Flex’s long-term earnings growth rate is 12.4%.
Flex’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, the average earnings surprise being 11%. Shares of the company have risen 19.8% in the past year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Watts Water Technologies 2023 EPS has improved 2.8% in the past 60 days to $8.00. Watts Water’s long-term earnings growth rate is 7.8%.
