For hybrid data center security
Network Traffic Single Visibility Architecture

As cloud usage grows, companies are storing data in a variety of locations, including public clouds as well as on-premise computers and data centers. The growth of these hybrid environments raises special security challenges.

According to Gartner, enterprises are struggling to maintain consistent security as they implement hybrid data centers that run workloads on various infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platforms in addition to on-premises.

A single visibility architecture is needed to identify the data that needs to be protected in this emerging hybrid data center environment.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. today announced that it is expanding its collaboration with ProtectWise to enhance the security of hybrid data centers by combining Ixia Solutions Group’s Vision ONE with CloudLens Public, powered by The ProtectWise Grid.
When combined with Ixia's Vision One Network Packet Broker and CloudLens visibility platform, ProtectWise Grid, an on-demand platform with full packet memory that delivers real-time and retroactive detection and advanced network forensics, enterprises can benefit from:

First, NetFlow (NetFlow) across protocols and applications provides complete visibility into data assets across hybrid environments, including enterprise, cloud, or hybrid deployments, from a single-pane graphical user interface.Easy collection and visualization of Flow), metadata, corrupted flows and PCAPs.

It also supports automated real-time continuous threat detection and analysis, allowing analysts to quickly sift through large amounts of data to identify threats, and reduces attacker dwell time through comprehensive forensic investigations through rapid access to the entire PCAP.

“Enterprises are struggling to secure their assets in hybrid environments,” said Ramon Peypoch, chief product officer at ProtectWise. “This further collaboration with Keysight’s Ixia Solutions Group enables ProtectWise to provide packet-level access to data in the cloud for security analytics.”

He added, "This joint solution provides enterprises with the one-stop visibility into their hybrid data center environments they need for true data protection."

“Ultimately, it is the responsibility of enterprises to secure all their data, but achieving complete visibility into both physical and cloud data assets in today’s dynamic hybrid environments is challenging,” said Scott Westlake, vice president of Alliances for Keysight’s Ixia Solutions Group. “Ixia provides enterprises with visibility natively in today’s dynamic hybrid environments with resilience for public cloud environments, and ProtectWise Grid delivers the superior security experience enterprises need to protect their data.”

Also, "Our collaboration therefore provides enterprises with a single solution they need to secure their hybrid data centers. “It provides a single-pane-of-glass window,” he added.
