A10 Networks tackles AI threats with platform updates

There is also a new feature in development for AI-powered bot protection. Dhawan explained that A10’s security solutions today focus primarily on protecting against OWASP Top 10 security risks and DDoS attacks, including bot-driven DDoS attacks. AI-powered bot protection will allow A10 to expand protection against other types of bots carrying out business logic attacks such as scraping, scalping, account takeover (ATO) and fraud maliciously targeting websites.

A10 Control provides new view into network security

The A10 Networks portfolio today spans two core areas. A10 Infrastructure solutions address infrastructure challenges related to performance, reliability and infrastructure-level security threats. The other area of the portfolio, known as A10 Defend, addresses challenges related to application-level security threats like DDoS and OWASP threats. 

Dhawan said that to date, A10 has had two separate management consoles for these two solution areas.

“As our customers are looking to simplify their IT, we are unifying our management console with A10 Control, that can manage both our infrastructure and security solutions and provide complete visibility and management in one single dashboard,” he said.

More DDoS Protection

Rounding out the A10 updates is an expanded set of capabilities for DDoS protection.

Dhawan noted that A10 has been protecting large and small service providers as well as enterprises from DDoS threats for years. What’s new is that the existing A10 Defend on-premises DDoS protection is being complemented with the ability to mitigate large volumetric attacks in the cloud.
