Security Challenges
•
IT threats continue to escalate in frequency, type, and
malice
o
o
•
Negative financial and stakeholder implications are
increasing
o
o
•
Revenue, profitability, and customer relations
Long-term business survivability at risk
Damage control and remediation urgency growing
o
o
•
Security perimeter breaches (must be) assumed a given
“Inside jobs” are also on the rise
What has been compromised?
How do we validate “all clear”?
Take-Away: Organizations need a retrospective, networkcentric method to backstop other security measures and
identify and clean compromised IT assets
Security Challenges – A Reality Today for the
Network Team
•
Network Instruments 2015 State of the Network
highlights:
o
o
o
o
•
85% are involved with security investigations
Engaged in multiple facets of security
• 65% implementing preventative measures
• 58% investigating attacks
• 50% validating security tool configurations
50% indicated correlating security issues with network
performance to be their top challenge
44% cited the inability to replay anomalous security
issues
Hacking and malware cause nearly
1/3 of all data loss events*

Our Benefits
•
Leverage Observer Platform performance monitoring
functionality to bolster existing IT security measures
o “ Two-for-one” deal (NPMD + security)
•
GigaStor offers back-in-time peace of mind
o
•
Apex provides high-level views into possible errant behavior
o
•
The “gold standard” in packet capture ensures every packet is captured
 No network conversations are missed
Baseline graphs are a powerful means to visualize unusually activity
Analyzer includes deep packet awareness
•
Integrated SNORT rule support for known malware
•
Sophisticated post-event filtering and pre-packet processing
to quickly detect zero-day or other suspicious activity
•
Advanced alarming to alert on targeted conditions
Real-Time and Back-in-Time - Complement
Riverbed & NetScout
• Don't offer Snort rule support
• Cannot match our storage capacity
• Drop packets as utilization rates increase
• NetScout does offer Cyber Investigator
o Dedicated hardened solution
OBSERVER PLATFORM SECURITY FORENSICS
Five Steps to Threat Resolution
# 1 - Capture Everything on Your Network
Never miss a single packet
Monitor from the core to the edge
# 2 – Detect /Alert on Suspicious / Anomalous
Behavior
# 3 – Turn Back the Clock
Using GigaStor back-in-time functionality
Start Investigation at the time of the possible incident
# 4 – Identify Security Threats
Leverage GigaStor forensics
# 4 – Identify Security Threats
Leverage GigaStor forensics
# 4 – Identify Security Threats
Perform packet pre-processing to eliminate common
obfuscation techniques
# 4 – Identify Security Threats
Then apply advanced Analyzer filtering for zero-day events or
Snort rules for known threats
# 4 – Identify Security Threats
The result: A comprehensive identification of detected threats
within the time window specified
# 5 – View Illicit Behavior In/Out of the Network
Rebuild conversations to witness the event unfold
just like sports “instant replay”
# 5 – View Illicit Behavior In/Out of the Network
Rebuild conversations to witness the event unfold
just like sports “instant replay”
# 5 – View Illicit Behavior In/Out of the Network
Reconstruct HTTP streams to see exactly what was
requested and received…
# 5 – View Illicit Behavior In/Out of the Network
…even if encrypted when the private key is available
# 5 – View Illicit Behavior In/Out of the Network
Reconstruct inside jobs where valuable IP may be at
risk via extrusion
Remediate / perform damage control as required to assess
compromised assets
CUSTOMER EXAMPLE

JHA – Protecting Critical Customer Data
• Already using Observer Platform to monitor
network and app performance
• Ongoing targeted attacks on IT resources
• GigaStor to the rescue
o Fortified existing security efforts by validating
attempted breach into data center not successful
• Having all the packets critical
Solving the Customer’s Challenge
• Late night call from the VP of Network Ops.
o Oversees the security team
• Significant expansion of GigaStor deployments
o Now an integral part of ongoing security detection
and remediation
o Save every packet across seven DCs for two weeks
• GigaStor data-at-rest adds more peace-of-mind
Business Outcome – Additional Sales
• Current (new) sales:
o Observer Expert Consoles
o Qty.2 – 10 Gb GigaStor-Expandable – 96 TB
• Redundant on-shelf for rapid deployment if failure
o Qty.2 – 10 Gb GigaStor-Expandable – 288 TB
o Qty.1 – 10 Gb GigaStor – Expandable – 576 TB
o Four years of maintenance
• Future sales upside:
o Qty.2 – 10 Gb GigaStor-Expandable – 288 TB
o Qty.1 – 10 Gb GigaStor-Expandable – 96 TB
o Qty.1 – 10 Gb GigaStor-Upgradeable – 16 TB
INVESTIGATING IN THE PACKETS
Key Takeaways
• The number and severity of the IT security
breaches continues to escalate
• Network teams are playing an increasingly
larger role in security investigations, preventive
measures, and damage control
• Having all the packets are critical for detecting
breaches, identifying compromised assets, and
validating cleanup
Key Takeaways
• Observer Platform offers tremendous value to
network teams and security organizations to
optimize IT resource health and performance
o GigaStor data-at-rest adds even more value
• GigaStor (easily) beats NetScout and Riverbed
in high-speed packet capture, capacity, and
integrated security functionality
