VIAVI CyberFlood is used to validate the performance, scalability, and security of network infrastructure by generating realistic application traffic and security attack simulations. Use cases include testing next-generation firewalls, SASE and ZTNA architectures, SD-WAN deployments, VPN gateways, load balancers, IDS/IPS systems, and AI inference infrastructure. CyberFlood replicates real-world production conditions, including encrypted, post-quantum cryptography (PQC), high-bandwidth, and mixed-protocol traffic, to uncover performance limits and security gaps before deployment.
CyberFlood supports testing of a broad range of modern network security architectures including Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), SD-WAN, IPSec VPN, SSL/TLS inspection, web application firewalls (WAF), next-generation firewalls (NGFW), IDS/IPS, and load balancers. It validates both traditional perimeter security and cloud-native security frameworks using stateful Layer 4-7 traffic with authentic application payloads from the TestCloud library.
Yes. CyberFlood includes AI/LLM security validation capabilities, testing 36 GenAI applications with editable prompts to detect threats such as prompt injection attacks and to measure the impact of AI security policies on application performance and user experience. This makes CyberFlood one of the few test platforms capable of validating both the performance and security posture of AI inference infrastructure under realistic production conditions.
CyberFlood is available as high-performance hardware appliances, including the CF50, CF400, and CF1000, capable of generating up to 1.2 terabits of application traffic per appliance with support for 4 x 400G and 8 x 100G interfaces. CyberFlood Virtual offers a software-based option deployable on-premises or in compatible cloud environments, available in annual subscription and perpetual licensing models. Both options use the same TestCloud application library and web-based test controller interface. CyberFlood provides a comprehensive REST-based automation framework and MCP server support for natural language test configuration and execution.
TestCloud is VIAVI's library of hundreds of thousands of real application traffic scenarios used by CyberFlood to generate authentic, high-fidelity test payloads. Rather than synthetic or simplified traffic, TestCloud scenarios replicate actual application behavior, including browser interactions, user think times, dynamic content, and protocol-accurate sessions across HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, FTP, DNS, SMB, voice, and streaming video. This enables realistic load, performance, and security testing that accurately reflects how real users interact with production networks.
