Today's hybrid networks challenge complete network visibility. Traditional data centers, virtual machines, and the Cloud serve to obscure and leave networks vulnerable to operational inefficiency and security risks. The critical triad of tools for network visibility are: Packet Capture & Processing, Metadata Capture, and Streaming Analytics. These tools provide a holistic understanding of all the network activities of an organization, whether it is a communications service provider or enterprise, while retaining forensic evidence for performance or security investigations.
In 2019, it's understood that threats are everywhere, both from external sources (think hackers) and internal employees (accidental or not). Securing the network against these threats is the biggest challenge for CISOs and network managers, as confidential information is now stored on computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets, across multiple data centers, and in public and private clouds. So how do you go about securing that data across multiple platforms?
