Overview

Product Information on CyPerf

Updated 4th February 2026

What is CyPerf?

Keysight CyPerf is a cloud-native, software-based network application and security testing solution that validates performance and security across distributed, hybrid, and cloud environments, including AI front-end networks and LLM inference paths. CyPerf simulates real users, applications, and attackers using lightweight agents to generate realistic traffic and threats for benchmarking AI firewalls, SASE, SD-WAN, CDN, WAF, proxies, ZTNA, and VPN infrastructure. The solution supports end-to-end validation of AI front-end architectures by measuring latency, throughput, concurrency, and security efficacy across north-south and east-west traffic flows, including load balancers, security gateways, and inference endpoints. CyPerf runs on public and private clouds, virtual machines, containers, and specialized Keysight APS-100/400GE hardware, enabling performance and security testing from lab environments to geographically distributed production networks.

CyPerf Pricing

Keysight CyPerf provides an all inclusive license. Deployments on specialized Keysight hardware are licensed perpetually and enable the full performance capacity of the hardware. Virtual deployments across public and private clouds are available in cumulative performance tiers of 1, 10, 100, and 400 Gbps and can be licensed as perpetual or subscription based, allowing capacity to be expanded over time. Pricing is determined by deployment model, licensed performance, and license type.

    It is because of the fact that the vendor has provided exceptional support, both technical and servicing. The vendor has also been very supportive in listening to our critical feedback and trying to implement our requests and requirements into their roadmap and development of the tool. The openness to understand feedback and work on it is appreciated.

    CyPerf - The best in class Network Performance Testing Solution!!

    5.0
    Sep 6, 2023
    We used Keysight CyPerf for performance testing on AWS Cloud. The deployment was fairly easy as CyPerf provides AWS Cloud Formation Templates. The deployment took around 10-15 minutes. The CyPerf application was accessible via a web portal and it was very responsive and user friendly. I liked the various kind of pre-built templates for testing various scenarios. One of the best features of CyPerf was the Attack and Application Mix profiles where we could mix various Attack Profiles alongside common Application profiles, e.g. Application specific Attack Strikes mixed with general Application traffic mix. It also provides a packet capture (PCAP) file for the simulated traffic which was very helpful for validation and it also provides a very detailed test report. We were also able to setup various profiles for the test by setting up bandwidth threshold, application traffic weights, TLS profiles, etc. which we found very useful in our performance test use cases. The one thing we were unable to perform were some custom Attack Scenarios against custom Network Protocols as the product only supported HTTP/S, SMTP and FTP traffic. Overall, I found the product to be very easy to deploy and use.
