New ADC + WAF solution by A10 Networks promises better and secured cloud computing

USA-based Application Delivery Controller (ADC) manufacturer A10 Networks has come up with something special recently as they aimed to enhance cloud security through the “ADC+WAF” duo.

Explaining in a simple way, this means the combined solution is capable of serving the bread-and-butter DDoS protection, authentication, and protocol checks at scale while providing an extensive set of web application security services to match the evergrowing strength of cyber tools exploited by malicious parties.

Not only that, it is streamlined to help users with the utmost convenience such as a single deployment capable of handling up to thousands of applications and containers without depending on individual end-point deployments and that includes hardware appliances and VMs too.

Here’s what you can expect out of the A10 Thunder ADC + Next-Gen WAF offering.

• Layered Defense – OWASP Top 10 mitigation, DDoS Protection, Authentication, TLS/SSL decryption, and more modern web threats
• Simplification via Consolidation – Converges under the Thunder ADC will be integrated as a single appliance solution with advanced load balancing, ADC caching, and the Fastly cloud service in addition to customers having a single point of support with A10
• Ease of Use – Almost 90% of Fastly users run Blocking Mode that only targets bad traffics, thus minimum occurrence of false positives plus no learning period for IT teams
• Lower Cost – Little or no software tuning required; A combination of thresholding, along with Fastly’s proprietary Network Learning Exchange (NLX) and SmartParse technology provides highly effective automated detection and blocking.
• Reduced Risk – Guard against modern attack vectors like account takeover (ATO), enumeration, and DDoS; Popular DevOps and SIEM tools are compatible with it out of the box
