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.

Cloud networking is growing in popularity, and, as a result, the need to monitor cloud traffic, AWS and otherwise, is increasing. Scrutinizer by Plixer makes it possible to monitor AWS and CDN traffic. Learn more here.

Endace’s Application Dock allows you to combine the benefits of EndaceProbe with other third-party monitoring and performance analysis solutions – quickly and easily – at key points in the network.

Monitoring and gathering data is critical for protecting networks against cybersecurity threats, and packet capture should be a primary source of that data. Here, we explain why, and examine Endace’s latest report into unlocking high-fidelity security

IPFIX is a rich source of metadata generated by routers, firewalls, switches, wireless access points and other devices, about the traffic passing through your network. Here you’ll find a list of data contained in IPFIX.

Flow data is an aggregated form of data, and is an effective way of generating information required to troubleshoot network issues, resolve intermittent network performance problems, and map historical trends for capacity planning. In this blog post, we discuss the ways IxiaFlow and Plixer FlowPro report on flow data.

In today’s ever changing world we are faced with an increased amount of remote employees. Making sure that those employees have access to their day to day applications has become priority. Are you looking for rich conversation visibility along with the flexibility to integrate that data into your current environment?

Experienced network managers know there’s rarely such a thing as a best-for-everything integration. When building network security capability and optimising incident resolution, the best solution is made up of multiple integrations, each specialising in a different aspect of network monitoring and analysis. A key example of this is how Scrutinizer by Plixer and Endace Probe can be brought together to accelerate incident resolution.

As networks grow increasingly complex and distributed, incorporating edge computing to facilitate localised connectivity and optimised performance, network monitoring is essential in ensuring and maintaining consistent user experiences.

There are many contingencies network managers can prepare for. Global epidemics such as the coronavirus are not, normally, among them. We are living in an increasingly unpredictable world: a world that relentlessly changes our best-laid plans. Learn how to prepare your staff and network for the unknown.

The coronavirus pandemic has, overnight, required seismic shifts in how we live, socialise and work. The next weeks and months are uncertain. What’s known today, however, is that for organisations to remain operational during this crisis, unprecedented changes in network policy and structure are required. VPNs are a popular solution, but managers must also be able to manage VPN connections. This is possible with Scrutinizer by Plixer.

When dealing with the security of a network – which, for many organisations, houses large quantities of critical data – preparedness is key. Here are four ways network managers can improve in 2020 and beyond, to stand ready against the unexpected, remain adaptable to the unknown and, ultimately, protect critical network infrastructure to preserve brands and bottom lines.
