“We are seeing increasing demand for A10’s proven SSL inspection technology. Customers are demanding a purpose-built standalone solution to address the SSL blind spot without degrading the performance of the security infrastructure,” said Lee Chen, CEO of A10 Networks. “Thunder SSLi restores confidence that the enterprise is secure again.”

In addition to Thunder 3.2 and the Verisign DDoS Protection Service, organizations can further complement their DDoS protection with the recently announced:

Cyso is a service provider to clients with stringent requirements for the security of hosted web services, such as financial service providers and e-commerce companies. “Last year the demand for SSL offloading grew strongly with our clients,” says Tjebbe de Winter, chief technology officer and managing partner for Cyso, “because they want to prevent cyber criminals from hacking into their networks or installing malware by means of secure connections. In the delivery of web services, organizations always have to choose among the desired levels of safety, performance and price. We want to provide our clients with A+ SSL security and application security by investing in A10 Thunder ADCs.”

The explosion of mobile devices and apps—plus the move to SDN, NFV and cloud—is driving the need for a new type of firewall that consolidates network security modules, SSL Insight, ADC and CGN in a reduced data center footprint. The firewalls of the future need to be high performance, have built-in SSL visibility, and handle ever-increasing data traffic. Thunder CFW offers a converged security solution for service providers, cloud providers, and large enterprises; benefits include:

Besides lowering expenses, aGalaxy allows IT staff to quickly pinpoint network issues and enforce consistent security policies across their network. Central control empowers network operators to embrace DevOps principles such as continuous deployment by rapidly distributing policies to all end points and automating IT tasks.

The new mid-range models also offer customers investment protection with modular SSL components. Designed with “SSL modularity” in mind, the new Thunder appliance models enable customers a simple upgrade path from the current generation of SSL processors to the next generation of higher performance SSL technology once available from A10.

At the heart of this process is a dedicated IT infrastructure and development team that delivers a platform offering over 30,000 financial instruments available in over 20 languages that is also white-labeled by more than 100 major financial institutions worldwide. The platform needs to be highly performant, resilient and able to scale to meet volatile trading patterns. In 2014 alone, the platform executed 22.5 million trades worth hundreds of billions of Euros.

“Many customers are augmenting their private infrastructure with public cloud services,” said Paul Nicholson, director of product marketing at A10 Networks. “vThunder allows Azure customers to integrate private and public cloud services with the full feature set of an advanced ADC for the first time. The extensibility of the A10 Harmony Architecture ensures consistent policies and maximum flexibility.”
