We talk about the challenges organizations face in achieving clear network visibility amidst complex IT environments and evolving threats. Taran emphasizes the pivotal role of network visibility in incident response and investigation, particularly for thoroughly verifying network activity. He stresses the importance of historical lookback and analyzing packet-level data for incident response and cybersecurity investigations, highlighting the value of packet evidence.
Taran also explains how scalability and historical data-analysis significantly improve cybersecurity posture. He talks about Keysight’s strategy for network visibility, emphasizing reliability and scalability tailored to the demands of sizable corporations and hybrid-cloud setups.
Finally, Taran talks about the escalating threat landscape, discussing recent cyberattacks and ransomware incidents, and emphasizing the importance of prioritizing network security measures. By treating networks as valuable assets, leveraging enriched data, analytics, and advanced tools, and adopting proactive approaches, organizations can enhance their readiness to combat cyberthreats more effectively.
