As network equipment manufacturers continue to enhance and develop new products using open platforms and third-party software, the availability of Net-O₂'s comprehensive automated tests for verifying security functionality in several deployment scenarios, provides the advantage of reduced testing time and shorter time to market, with enhanced quality.

Net-O₂'s Network Security test offerings are available as part of Net-O₂ ATTEST-XP

Net-O₂ ATTEST-XP Network Security test suites perform Comprehensive testing of features such as 802.1X (port and network access control), ACLs (access control lists), and surviving DoS (denial of service) attacks in switches and routers.

The test cases verify port authentication on all device ports for port-based and MAC-based authentication. Data streams from large number of stations are generated at wire speed with the help of third party hardware test equipment to verify the ability to handle IP as well as MAC-based Access control list filters. Handling of denial of service attacks using ARP, TCP and ICMP messages for wire speed loads are verified.
