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.

Network security and the expedient transfer of information, especially in logistical infrastructure, is more important than ever. A recent IBM report highlights an attempt to steal or interfere with critical Covid-19 vaccine production-and-distribution lines, requiring additional vigilance from all involved.

SteelCentral NetShark has been discontinued. Those relying upon it need not despair, however, as ntop’s nBox Recorder is able to match or surpass the its features, and meet the same need.

Global crisis demands change. Organisations have changed, and so too must the networks that underpin them. Network managers must now look to new performance and security monitoring solutions to gain a birdseye view of remotely coordinated networks and workforces.

nProbe allows you to monitor and capture different data flows, including NetFlow. Paired with ntopng, this provides an optimal way to capture and analyse context-rich metadata from packets across all network connections.

Machine learning unlocks new possibilities for network performance and security optimisation. Learn what machine learning means in the context of Scrutinizer’s new intelligence modules, how it works, and the implications for network managers.

Scrutinizer by Plixer’s second new addition – the Security Intelligence module – brings its own set of unique capabilities and benefits, working alongside the Network Intelligence module to enhance NetOps and SecOps collaboration.

Scrutinizer by Plixer has introduced a new Network Intelligence module, which adds machine-learning capability to intelligently analyse data and decipher and identify patterns. This helps network managers stay proactive, one-step ahead of performance drops, bottlenecks and capacity requirements.

Scrutinizer is one of the industry’s best network monitoring and analysis tools, and it just got better with an improved feature list and NetOps and SecOps collaboration.

Big Switch runs on network switches and generates metadata for NetFlow and IPFIX flow traffic for large-scale production networks. Pair this with Scrutinizer by Plixer, a leading metadata analysis tool, for maximum network visibility and optimisation.

The popularity of SD-WAN is increasing in our new normal: a world that requires businesses and their employees to remotely collaborate. Here, we talk about SD-WAN vendors, and Scrutinizer as a unifying solution to help enterprises monitor and optimise SD-WAN traffic.

The latest Twitter hack has once more highlighted the greatest threat to network security: human error. We discuss the Twitter attack, the impact of network traffic monitoring and analysis, and network security policy.
