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

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.

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.

Securonix is a next-generation SIEM for improved recording and analysis of log files. Learn more about Securonix’s machine learning and AI capabilities and how it can change your network.

Encryption is important for network security, but encrypted cyberattacks are an equal threat. Learn about encryption and how to identify and analyse encrypted cyberthreats.
