Service providers across the board are grappling with the demand of high-bandwidth, low-latency networks in 5G deployments to support modern smart infrastructures, whose bandwidth requirements are enormous and growing exponentially. Smart city projects have become the new standard that many countries are trying to achieve. Real-time traffic management, IoT-enabled utilities, enhanced mobile broa...

Organizations across nearly all industries are increasingly strengthening their network security posture to gain an advantage in detecting anomalies promptly and responding appropriately. When choosing network threat detection and response solutions, the key question that arises is: “Where should we capture traffic to achieve complete visibility?"

Network security isn’t just about stopping hackers; it’s about ensuring visibility into every packet moving through your digital infrastructure. Many IT teams, specifically NOC teams, default to using SPAN (Switch Port Analyzer) ports because they seem convenient and cost-effective - but convenience can come at a steep price when packets start to drop and security is at risk. Let’s dive into the limitations of SPAN ports, why they fall short, and when to use network TAPs (Test Access Points) ...

The healthcare industry is rapidly shifting towards digitization, with the rise of electronic health records, telemedicine, and other digital technologies completely transforming healthcare delivery. A report by Grand View Research states that the global healthcare IT market is expected to reach USD 609.1 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 17.9% from 2023 to 2030.

Network operations and security have come a long way to protect the infrastructure and its assets. With layers of security built on top of one another, the traditional method of deploying network security and monitoring creates more challenges, than it fixes. Hosting layers of network security and monitoring systems requires a continuous flow of network traffic to these security and monitoring solutions. Existing methods, whether spanning or mirroring network traffic using ...

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize many fields, including encryption. In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in using quantum computers to break traditional encryption methods, which could have major implications for the security of sensitive data.

Distributed Denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks continue to accelerate and evolve into highly sophisticated vectors, threatening any digitally connected entities and services; specifically, the entry of connectivity to the global /local communications networks [which start with the

In the digital transformation age, the cybersecurity industry received tremendous spotlight with respect to the pervasive capability of the IT domain to have full access (literally) to any digital asset, regardless of geographical distances and physical barriers. The real paradox exists between how much power IT teams can have to secure and maintain the entire footprint of the digital assets, while still preserving and complying with data privacy regulations. Some will claim that such powerfu...

Seamless monitoring of network traffic is critically important for enterprise network and security administrators: it lies at the very foundation of network threat detection and remediation. Regrettably, packet duplication has commonly been an undesirable side-effect of network traffic monitoring. Packet duplication produces redundant information in the monitoring tra...
