The scope, scale, and impact of cyberattacks continue to increase, causing security operations teams to face unprecedented challenges as they work to defend their organizations against complex cyber threats. Since virtually all cyber threats and attacks generate activity that can be observed from network traffic, continuous network monitoring to identify threats and breaches has become mission critical. 

The challenge is that the volume of traffic crossing networks has reached staggering levels and continues to grow exponentially, easily overwhelming security tools. As a result, security teams are forced to continually add incremental monitoring, analytics, and packet storage capacity in an effort to keep up. Not only is this expensive, but in many cases futile, because an increasing amount of network traffic being delivered to cyber tools has limited analytics value. The reality is that the days of collecting ‘everything’ and letting the analytics tools ‘sort it out’ are no longer realistic or viable.

During this webinar, we discuss ways to manage the massive volumes of network traffic using the NetQuest OMX3200 to help scale Stamus Probe capacity. This enables monitoring of higher speed links to remove barriers from expanding network coverage for critical observation points, such as east-west network links. This dramatically increases the visibility of lateral traffic movement and improves threat intelligence at scale.

From the webinar, you will learn how to:

• Target specific types of traffic to deliver high-value packets for improved monitoring efficiency.
• Optimize visibility into encrypted and streaming video traffic without expensive decryption. 
• Reduce instrumentation costs and enable broader coverage for critical east-west network observation points.
• Optimize traffic ingest efficiency and meet compliance requirements with intelligent packet and flow truncation.
