SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A10 Networks today announced a collaboration with Verisign to enable hybrid DDoS mitigation strategies for customers. A10 Networks further announced enhancements to its market-leading multi-vector DDoS protection solution, Thunder TPS (Threat Protection System)—including the ability to send alerts to Verisign's cloud-based DDoS Protection Service using the OpenHybrid API. Thunder TPS 3.2 now enables more organizations to intelligently provide an always-on application experience. New features and customer benefits include:

Smarter DDoS attack detection and dynamic mitigation with Thunder TPS 3.2.
Traffic baselines leverage multi-protocol behavioral indicators to learn peacetime network conditions, enabling precise detection of anomalies. Dynamic mitigation policies escalate suspect traffic through progressively tougher countermeasures to minimize legitimate traffic drops. DevOps can leverage event-based scripting for increased operational agility.

Automated signaling for volumetric attack protection through Verisign's cloud DDoS protection service.
The redirection option utilizes the Verisign OpenHybrid API to provide anomaly information and can trigger a swing of customer's traffic to Verisign's cloud-based services when volumetric DDoS protection is needed. This hybrid solution broadens the market reach of Thunder TPS to enterprises with limited internet bandwidth.

Integration with existing DDoS solutions for investment protection.
Leveraging open networking standards, Thunder TPS mitigation integrates easily with existing DDoS detection solutions. Open networking standards support enables tight integration with many other devices, including SDN controllers and security products.
