SSL technology significantly impacts the way IT departments now monitor their networks. Data that could once be captured and sent to security and monitoring tools for analysis is now completely unreadable by those same tools. Learn how a network packet broker (NPB) that has integrated SSL decryption capabilities can be used to overcome this issue.
The NPB can decrypt the data and then aggregate, filter, and data mask the data as needed before it is sent to monitoring and security tools for analysis. In the case of inline monitoring solutions, once the data has been analyzed, the NPB can re-encrypt the data and send it on down line to its final destination - without impacting tool performance or causing compliance issues.
CALABASAS, CA— August 8, 2017 — Ixia, a leading provider of network testing, visibility, and security, today announced it has achieved the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 accreditation for its industry leading Vision ONE™ and Vision™ 7300 network packet brokers (NPB) solutions.
This accreditation signifies that these Ixia products meet the stringent security requirements of all U.S. government agencies, and serves as another meaningful demonstration of the company’s leadership in the network visibility market.
The FIPS PUB 140-2 covers security requirements in 11 areas related to the design and implementation of a cryptographic module. This standard specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module utilized within a security system protecting sensitive but unclassified information.
“Ixia works diligently to ensure that our products meet the stringent security requirements of federal agencies, while meeting the dynamic needs of our customers and partners, “stated Recep Ozdag, Vice President of Product Management at Ixia. “This accreditation serves as a meaningful demonstration of Ixia’s ongoing commitment to the network visibility and federal markets.”
The following Ixia Network Visibility Solutions have received FIPS accreditation:

Even as workloads move to the cloud, IT must continue to maintain data and application security, optimize performance, and resolve issues as quickly as possible. But getting access to traffic data in the public cloud can be a challenge. Then once you have the data, you need a way to sort and filter it, so your tools can process it with maximum efficiency. This paper explores the pros and cons of different approaches to monitoring data in the public cloud.
See how easy it is learn and understand network monitoring and network visibility. This infographic highlights how a new ebook (The ABCs of Network Visibility) can help you quickly understand the various terms and definitions of network monitoring.
Network packet brokers (NPBs) are an important component of any network monitoring strategy. However, how do you know that your NPB is doing what it should, when it should? Blind faith in what the manufacturer tells you could be detrimental to your network security and be costing you additional money. Your NPB could be dropping packets that your monitoring tools needed and you don't even know it. It is important to understand how your NPB will behave under both normal and high load conditions.
Read this solution brief to see how you can validate NPB operation and perform the following:
Networks are under constant attack by hackers and various other security threats. As such, it is especially important to make sure that security devices are as up to date as possible and that you know what patches have been applied. However, keeping up with security tool patch management can get confusing, especially if you are new to this company's IT department.
This solution brief provides an easy way to validate if security patches have been applied and are working to prevent costly damages from network security attacks.
The sheer volume of network security alerts being generated places a huge processing strain on IT security teams and the network infrastructure. By pre-filtering known bad IP addresses and traffic from untrusted countries, you can stop unwanted traffic from reaching your firewall and signifcantly reduce the amount of alerts that you need to review.
