White Paper: Plan Your Firewall Migration to Increase Security Resilience If you will be upgrading or migrating to a next generation firewall, take the opportunity to also review your overall security architecture. You spend significant time and money to implement, maintain, and upgrade your security infrastructure. Make sure your security tool architecture is designed to maximize value and efficiency. Limit the risk of downtime to your network. Keep your applications strong. All these benefits start with the simple addition of a bypass switch. For more advanced architectures, add a network packet broker. This paper examines how you can achieve these goals and implement a resilient security fabric—one that delivers a selfhealing, highly-available security architecture to complement your next-generation firewall (NGFW).
Ixia Visibility for the Enterprise Brochure Are users complaining “the network is slow?” Or “Skype isn’t working?” Is your security team chasing too many false positives? Will your data center investment produce the return on investment (ROI) your executive e-staff expects? Stronger applications, tighter security, and higher returns on your IT investment all hinge on being able to see inside your network. Only with total visibility across your physical and virtual networks can your teams—and your tools—make exactly the right decisions at exactly the right time.
White Paper: Evaluating Inline Security Fabric Key Considerations Monitoring requires processing an exploding amount of data. Your security infrastructure must be strong enough to protect your assets and data, and efficient enough to not impact network or application response time. Your security solutions should have the features and options to get maximum value from your security budget. Ixia offers a Security Fabric with all that, plus the ability to monitor traffic everywhere in your network, context-aware intelligence to optimize tool performance, and self-healing resiliency to completely recover from any tool failure.
Cisco Inline Security Resilience with Ixia Bypass Scaling FirePower Inline or Out – Doug Hurd, of Cisco Security, discusses how Ixia's Visibility Architecture helps get monitoring data to its FirePowerPlatform.Learn more at https://www.ixiacom.com/resources/cisco-and-ixia-extend-security-everywhere-more-visibility-and-control
www.youtube.com Case Study: Manufacturer Choose Bypass for Next-Gen Firewall STANDALONE BYPASS SUPPORTS FAIL-SAFE OPERATION OF CISCO SECURITY APPLIANCE After a demonstration that showed information leaving the company and going to China in an unsecure fashion, this Global 500 manufacturer of HVAC equipment and automotive devices received CFO approval to purchase the appliances necessary for inline security monitoring. They chose the Cisco ASA with FirePOWERTM for its advanced functionality, and the network team looked for a way to support real-time monitoring, while also protecting network availability. Ixia provided the solution they needed.
Solution Brief: 3 Ways to Improve Cisco FirePOWER Deployments with Ixia Bypass Solutions The costs, and downtime associated with breaches can seriously impact the bottom line, so companies continue to invest in a wide range of sophisticated security defenses. For example, solutions such as Cisco FirePOWER deliver threatfocused, next-generation intrusion prevention system (NGIPS) capabilities along with advanced malware protection (AMP) to enable continuous threat protection. While newer solutions can dramatically enhance security, the process of migrating to a new infrastructure may add complexity and introduce new challenges. These can include having to take links out of service during deployment, and to include external bypass to ensure resilience.
