Plixer Replicator is a popular alternative to Cisco UDP Director and Cisco Telemetry Broker (CTB) with low, predictable, appliance based pricing.

Machine learning is driving advances in NDR (network detection and response) and is the future of network security. Learn how Scrutinizer by Plixer uses NDR to protect against the unpredictable.

The requirements of education networks (and all networks) are changing. With more dependency comes greater need for security and reliability.

Collecting data is just the first step. For a complete data solution, brokering and scalable data storage is also required. In this piece, we discuss how nProbe, Kafka, and Hadoop are combined to create a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for the monitoring, capture and analysis of data.

On some networks, managers choose to block ICMP traffic: a nuclear alternative to monitoring. But there are reasons to keep ICMP open – and ways to monitor it to keep it secure. Learn how to monitor ICMP and specify thresholds to alert of attacks with Scrutinizer by Plixer.

Network reliability is a balancing act between security and performance. The answer lies in reducing the resource burden of each, incorporating innovative solutions that help automate monitoring and analysis.

Cubro is a suite of products that improve network visibility by duplicating traffic at the copper-and-fibre cable level, and routing it to the appropriate network application. Designed to work independently or in tandem with other products as a larger networking solution, Cubro augments network visibility to support network security and performance optimisations.

With more of us using our devices to accomplish just about everything, the stakes for network security managers are higher than ever. We’re entering into a new decade of cyber warfare, the increased sophistication of attacks exacerbated by our increased reliance on networks.

The fight against human negligence is only just beginning, with more users now connecting to corporate networks remotely. Errors are likely, and, within the cacoon of home-working, bad habits go observed. To protect against negligence, network managers must look to better policy awareness and enforcement, and solutions to provide a failsafe in case of security threats.

Strong businesses require strong networks. This begins with network monitoring, which by helping a network to stay stable, secure and efficient, helps businesses to achieve the same.

We need strong and secure networks now more than ever. 2020 brought with it many changes to how we live and interact with one another, as well as to the role of networks. Looking back at 2020, we can draw lessons for 2021 to ensure greater network reliability and security.

The SolarWinds attack is one of the most sophisticated cyber-espionage campaigns seen yet. Impacting many of SolarWinds’ customers, including government agencies, it has major implications for network and organisational security going forwards.
