FireStorm ONE Overview
BreakingPoint Systems has developed a system that measures and hardens the resiliency of every
component of your critical infrastructure against potentially crippling attacks and peak application
traffic: the FireStorm ONE. It is a 1U, rack-mountable system that can accurately recreate a live
network environment.
The FireStorm ONE consists of the appliance and the user interface called the Control Center. Both
components work together to create a comprehensive and user-friendly test solution for all network
devices. The FireStorm ONE can concurrently simulate TCP sessions, application traffic, and live
security attacks, and ultimately, identify “breaking points” in your network devices.
