Key Takeaways
VIAV launched CyberFlood CF50, a 1U platform for testing application performance, security and AI inference.
CyberFlood CF50 generates encrypted traffic to assess network scalability, resilience and security controls.
Viavi's platform offers low power use, post-quantum support and 1.75x the nearest rival's TLS performance.
Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAV - Free Report) has launched the CyberFlood CF50, an all-in-one platform for testing application performance, security and artificial intelligence (AI) inference at speeds of up to 100G. The solution enables network equipment manufacturers, systems integrators, service providers and enterprises to evaluate modern network and security infrastructure before deployment.
Viavi’s CyberFlood CF50 combines Layer 4-7 traffic generation, security assessment and AI inference testing in a compact 1U appliance. It produces realistic encrypted and mixed application traffic, enabling organizations to assess network scalability, resilience and performance while evaluating the effects of security controls and AI-driven services. The system is designed to support modern environments built around encrypted applications and Zero Trust architectures.
The company’s new platform offers the industry’s lowest power consumption, native post-quantum cryptography support, and TLS performance claimed to be 1.75 times that of the nearest competitor. It also features a web-based interface that eliminates the need for an MS Windows client and supports automated goal-seeking, MITRE ATT&CK frameworks and repeatable traffic-mix testing, helping organizations conduct consistent validation across modern network and security infrastructure.
As demand grows for reliable testing of security-focused and AI-enabled infrastructure, Viavi is expanding the CyberFlood portfolio beyond the CF1000 with a more portable enterprise-scale solution. The latest product could support the company’s future growth as organizations increasingly invest in advanced networking, security and AI technologies.
