Like any defence, lines weaken as they extend – or, at least, this is true without sufficient preparation and the pre-emptive strategies. For networks, this means effective tools for monitoring and gating edge traffic with inline security solutions.

As network devices are required further from the network’s centre – disparately distributed across global networks – so too must network infrastructure and monitoring evolve to support them: the need to extend our networks close to activities underscores the popularity of edge computing.

The threat of cyberwarfare is real, now more than ever, with nations poised in a game of tit-for-tat and retaliations, inching closer to a war in which it is programmers, not soldiers, fighting, exploiting vulnerabilities and exchanging digital fusillades

Once upon a time, data was king. Now, in 2020, data is life: the virtual blood of our modern existences, coursing through the networks that make up our global body. Maintaining the flow of data is critical. Understanding it is essential.

If you’re a network manager, it’s likely endpoint security is on your mind: that which we have the least control over will always cause us the most worry. Gone are the days of networks housed under a single roof. Corporate networks are now fluid, dynamic and disparately located

Introducing adequate network monitoring while maintaining performance is often a balancing act. It is this struggle that Ixia’s network taps solve. With them, data packets are collected and distributed at speed. Existing monitoring tools are optimised, and network performance is unimpacted by the improvement of analysis and security.

The sooner you’re able to detect a threat, the sooner you’re able to resolve it. This basic reality underscores the value of EndaceProbe: a unique network recorder and analytics platform

When we live through data, data theft becomes the greatest threat. Monitoring DNS traffic is the key to preventing data theft. This becomes possible with FlowPro.

Combat multi-tiered threats with threat chains. Identify significant threats built through a chain of smaller threats using Securonix’s behavioural analytics capabilities

Recording all the traffic on your network is as important as having a CCTV system. In this article we discuss the limitations of a metadata only approach and how to team full packet capture with SIEM and other tools.

Want to know what’s hiding in the encrypted traffic on your network? Use deep packet inspection (DPI) to reveal all and monitor for malicious activity.

Have you invested in Riverbed for WAN optimisation and are you looking for a tool to monitor its performance? Should you use Riverbed’s own tool, Cascade, is or is there a better independent option? Here’s why you should consider Scrutinizer by Plixer.
