As security threats grow in scope and volume, network architects and business leaders increasingly face the need to ensure complete and timely security visibility down to the packet level. This book shows you how architecting a modern security visibility network infrastructure can help your business adapt to new threats, lengthen the usefulness of your current security system investments, and enhance uptime and availability to drive business assurance.

Inside…

• See the entire threat landscape
• Understand security visibility basics
• Create deep packet flow visibility
• Support both inline and out-of-band systems
• Optimize packet flows
• Explore security visibility use cases
• Ask the right questions about visibility

Support multiple layers of defense without risk to network performance or network uptime

Network security is no longer an insurance policy protecting from a highly unlikely event. Security breaches are the new norm.

This has resulted in a flood of new network security solutions to defend against the constant wave of advanced threats. Managing the network traffic that goes into your security appliances, as well as the systems themselves, is a critical function that ensures network success.

In our brief 5 min Tech Short, see how Security Tool Chaining lets you:

• Optimize and filter data before it enters your security appliance
• Get the right traffic to each system
• Ensure network performance without sacrificing network protection

The solution is simple, it's elegant and it is here today.

Join our conversation on how to leverage threat intelligence to protect against advanced threats. In our webinar Case Studies in Advanced Threat Network Protection, we will dive into how customers are using the latest research and insights backed by ATLAS threat intelligence to protect valuable IT assets.

We will discuss how a solution-based approach, leveraging Arbor Spectrum combined with NETSCOUT packet flow switches, allows you to aggregate and see everything within your network.

Know before you buy. Ask the right questions of your packet visibility vendor for security systems.

If your organization needs traffic aggregation or packet optimization to bolster visibility to security solutions, there are 10 key questions you should ask when evaluating a solution.

Review this checklist to ensure your security systems get the packets required, and only the ones needed, to get the most out of your investment.

Cybersecurity is a constant battle to stay ahead. The Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2) outlines a process to move your security posture to the next level.

In our C2M2 Security White Paper, learn how to advance your security maturity with security visibility. We cover:

• deployment case studies
• enabling fail-safe active security
• active inline security systems in series

Read about how to advance your cybersecurity maturity with security visibility, delivered by packet flow switching technology.

Service assurance and security may not seem symbiotic. But they can be.

The challenge with deploying security tools in line is that they may become a single point of failure, affecting network availability and performance. Yet top analyst, insurance companies and compliance are calling for these devices to provide proactive protection. There is a simple and elegant solution. One that allows complete control of active inline tools with baked in service assurance.

Download and read our Tool Chaining use case and learn how you can have complete control of data, as it flows into security systems. NGFWs, IDS, IPS, sandboxing or whatever tool you want no longer has to be another bump in the wire. Read how to place these solutions in a virtual chain, while removing concerns about single points of failure.

Secure service assurance, all wrapped in a performance bow.
