A10 Defend protects your network without adding latency or creating traffic bottlenecks. Instead of relying on rigid, outdated security signatures that attackers can easily bypass, the platform uses intelligent behavioral tracking to learn your network’s normal traffic patterns. This allows it to immediately spot and block sophisticated, multi-vector attacks while ensuring your legitimate user traffic passes through uninterrupted.
The suite offers complete flexibility with both inline and out-of-band deployment options. For latency-sensitive services like online gaming, DNS, or live voice calls, you can deploy it inline for immediate, real-time filtering. For standard corporate networks or data centers, you can keep the mitigation hardware separate from day-to-day traffic; the system operates reactively, using automated BGP routing to redirect traffic only when a threat is detected.
ZAP is the built-in automation engine that removes the operational pressure from incident response. When a new or unfamiliar attack hits, security teams typically have to manually analyze packet captures and write new blocking rules under tight deadlines. ZAP uses machine learning to automatically recognize these anomalous attack patterns and deploy precise blocking filters in seconds, stopping threats instantly without requiring human intervention.
The A10 DDoS Security Incident Response Team (DSIRT) is a dedicated, 24/7/365 engineering team available to assist you during critical security events. While the A10 Defend platform is fully automated, the DSIRT functions as an expert escalation path. Your team can contact them directly during complex or sustained attacks for live assistance with deep packet analysis, custom filter creation, and defense strategies.
