We use Ixia BreakingPoint as a security tester oriented to test other network security solutions. Validation is needed in case of major changes in your network security infrastructure. It might be a change in your HW, major change in architecture or if you just want to be sure, that new feature will not have an effect on the performance of your security solution. We use it for IDS, anti-malware, anti-DDoS, anti-ransomware, etc. You can use it also for testing the impact of an attack on your valid application traffic and infrastructure. Ixia BreakingPoint provides us with advanced network security features.

Our primary use for Ixia BreakingPoint is stress testing. We are curently evaluating SDWAN solution. Ixia BP generate traffic and is simulating around 200 users. We didn't want to hire hundreds of people to simulate user web access. ;-) We bought the BreakingPoint to take care of it.
Find out what your peers are saying about Keysight Technologies, OWASP, Appvance and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST). Updated: May 2026.
Static Application Security Testing provides tools to identify vulnerabilities in code early in the development cycle, improving security and minimizing risk exposure.SAST focuses on analyzing source code, binaries, or bytecode to detect issues like SQL injection, buffer overflows, and cross-site scripting. This proactive approach enables developers to remediate potential security flaws before applications are deployed. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing CI/CD pipelines,...
