Chandler, Arizona – September 29, 2026 -- VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) has launched the CyberFlood CF50, billed as the industry's smallest and lightest all-in-one platform for enterprise-scale application performance, security and AI inference testing at speeds up to 100G.
CF50 delivers TLS performance 1.75X faster than nearest competitor
The 1U appliance combines Layer 4-7 traffic generation, security assessment and AI inference testing while offering what VIAVI describes as the industry's lowest power consumption. It includes native support for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), addressing enterprise migration toward quantum-resistant encryption standards.
Platform targets validation gaps in Zero Trust and AI-driven network deployments
The CF50 generates realistic encrypted and mixed application traffic to test performance, scalability and resilience before infrastructure deployment. It operates via a web interface with no Windows client requirement, and supports automated goal-seeking, MITRE ATT&CK framework testing and repeatable traffic-mix scenarios.
Product extends CyberFlood line alongside high-end CF1000 model
The CF50 joins VIAVI's existing CyberFlood CF1000, which targets large enterprises requiring maximum performance. The new model is positioned for network equipment manufacturers, systems integrators and service providers seeking a cost-effective, portable testing option.
Mauricio Sanchez, Senior Director at Dell'Oro Group, said testing solutions that accurately emulate real-world users, applications and AI interactions have become critical for identifying bottlenecks and reducing deployment risk as organizations combine AI workloads, encrypted applications and distributed security architectures.
