ADVANCED NETWORK AWARENESS

Today's Enterprises Need Better
Network Awareness

Enterprise IT is increasing in complexity and scale, offering more spaces for intruders, adversaries and insiders to enter and operate. With network performance exceeding 10G, 40G and even 100G, and network scale approaching 1 million nodes, tracking active intrusions is a challenge. Many times, simple awareness of what is going on in your enterprise network is all that is needed to realize the existence of a threat to your infrastructure. Understanding that a particular end system is accessing a corporate router, scanning for vulnerable machines within the enterprise, or pushing data to an external machine may be all that is needed to reveal that your enterprise is under attack from a persistent threat.

Achieving comprehensive network awareness across modern large-scale networks could understandably preoccupy the most skilled network and security engineers. Traditional management data with link statistics, addresses, protocols and port numbers fall short in providing meaningful awareness of your netwo5. To understand the actual threats to your environment, you need much more information and understanding of what is and should be going on.

Scalable Network Awareness Needs:

  • Real-time comprehensive network accountability to assess the who, what, when, where and why of network use throughout the enterprise
  • Protocol awareness to formulate a complete picture of network utilization beyond the router and switch
  • Metadata to reveal the significance of content and behavior
  • Enhanced intelligence to transform your sensor data into decision-making and action that can mitigate problems, recover from attack, improve performance, optimize operations and harden your network security, enabling you to protect your enterprise against threats of an increasingly specialized nature

  • Meaningful awareness of your total network space requires a new approach to network sensing, sense-making and analytics ... at scale
