High-Scale Network Visibility for Cisco Secure Network Analytics

100G Flow Sensor for Cisco Secure Network Analytics

The NetQuest 100G Flow Sensor is Cisco validated & certified and seamlessly integrates into the Cisco Secure Network Analytics (Stealthwatch) and SecureX architecture. The high-capacity sensor delivers wire-speed unsampled Flow metadata for network segments where the switches and routers can’t generate NetFlow or when it is desirable to off-load intensive NetFlow processing impacts from performance-sensitive infrastructure.

Highlights

  • Seamless integration into the Cisco Secure Network Analytics and SecureX monitoring architecture
  • Feeds into Cisco Flow Collectors with consistent Flow data as Cisco 10G and 40G Flow Sensors
  • Monitors up to 16x 100G links per RU at wire-speed via TAP or SPAN connections
  • Delivers up to 1.6 Tbps of IPFIX traffic processing for up to 800 million active flows per sensor
  • High-density, wire-speed 10, 40, 100 and 400G link monitoring
  • Supports WAN link monitoring, including OTN and SONET/SDH with automated discovery and integrated transcoding

Reliable, Accurate and Granular Network Telemetry Brings Flow Data Where It’s Needed

Detect emerging threats and identify high-risk behavior that may have bypassed existing controls with relevant context to proactively respond to high probability threats before they can have a major impact.

High Fidelity Metadata

1:1 unsampled Flow metadata with 100% of all traffic processed for uncompromised security intelligence.

Unrestricted Visibility

Deep Packet Inspection for  IPv4 and IPv6 traffic analysis inside tunnels and packet headers to reveal the inner IP payload for metadata creation.

Seamless Integration

Deploys alongside Cisco 10G and 40G Flow Sensors and provides consistent metrics delivered to Cisco Secure Network Analytics Flow Collectors.

One Sensor Supports Many Uses to Eliminate Redundant Tools and Accelerate ROI

The Cisco 100G Flow Sensor builds on deployment-proven OMX capabilities and can also deliver packet-flow traffic and enriched metadata to diverse security tools from a single appliance and instrumentation point.

Packet Flow Delivery

Optimize packet-flows for packet-based tools or network monitoring switches.

Enriched Visibility

Extend Security Visibility with Enriched Flow Intelligence to reveal indicators of compromise for clear and encrypted traffic

Compelling Savings

Reduces TCO and operational complexities associated with managing multiple probes, sensors, and Network Packet Brokers.
