Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company
that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate
innovation to connect and secure the world, today announced that Ixia
and Eastwind
Networks, a provider of best-of-breed solutions in enterprise breach
analytics and detection technology, joined forces to deliver Eastwind
Network Sensor for AWS. Powered by Keysight's Ixia CloudLens,
the new solution offers elastic visibility and threat detection, as well
as user and entity behavioral analytics to identify malicious activity,
insider threats and data leakage within AWS.
Organizations continue to migrate to the public cloud. According to
Cisco's Global Cloud Index 20181, 73 percent of the cloud
workloads and compute instances will be in public cloud data centers by
2021, up from 58 percent in 2016. As cloud deployments ramp up, the ease
of configuring security tools must ramp up equally.
"More and more enterprises rely on the cloud to run their businesses,
and visibility into these environments is essential to security," said
Paul Kraus, CEO, Eastwind Networks. "Until now, cloud security was
complicated. But integrating CloudLens for visibility and Eastwind
Breach Analytics, security teams can easily become a business enabler,
not an obstacle."
Eastwind
Network Sensor for AWS, powered by Keysight's Ixia CloudLens
is the first security product to tightly integrate delivery of
cloud network traffic via CloudLens with Eastwind
Breach Analytics to provide complete visibility across networks to
address an organization's changing attack surface. By embedding
CloudLens into customers' cloud deployments with the Eastwind solution,
users gain:
-
Intelligence: a clearer picture of what's happening across an
organization‘s cloud infrastructure
-
Insight: into which threats and threat actors are active and posing
risk
-
Integrated response and incident data: to more effectively identify
and remediate threats and breaches
"In this age of a continuously evolving threat landscape, it has become
even more important for your monitoring platform to evolve, even in the
public cloud," said Scott Westlake, vice president of alliances at
Keysight's Ixia Solutions Group. "The unique combination of SaaS-based
CloudLens - innovating around public cloud visibility - and Eastwind
Breach Analytics - innovating for holistic security - delivers a
solution to help our customers secure their public cloud in this rapidly
changing environment."
