In this webinar our subject matter experts Chris DePuy, Founder and Technology Analyst of 650 Group and Kalyan Sundhar, Vice President of Mobility, Virtualization and Applications at Ixia Solutions Group, a Keysight business will talk about the 5G RAN and Core as well as associated design, test and measurement considerations and challenges.

5G is the first wireless standard designed without the smartphone at the center. The 5G Radio Access Network (RAN), connecting subscribers to service providers, will be architecturally and technically very different from past generations. The core network, fundamental in managing and routing data, voice and video traffic, is also reimagined in 5G.

5G introduces higher frequencies (millimeter wave), wider bandwidths, advanced multi-antenna access schemes, small cells, and network slicing including network function virtualization, and orchestration. Predicting and measuring the performance of the network in support of devices such as IoT sensors, smartphones, and self-driving autos will be challenging. Network Equipment, Service Providers and Device Designers will need to troubleshoot never-before-seen issues in the rigorous R&D validation environment.

Join this webinar to understand how you can reimagine wireless.

The proliferation of complex and resilient ransomware variants has dominated recent media headlines. This year has heralded the emergence of self-replicating, worm-like, ransomware in the form WannaCry and Petya. This class of ransomware is leveraging vulnerabilities in victim’s machines thus circumventing the need for users to mistakenly open a malicious attachment.

Research has shown that the main perpetrators of this class of attacks are professional ransomware developers who are affiliated with well-funded criminal organizations such as the Lazarus Group. Furthermore, these types of attacks have proven themselves to be most devastating to businesses and professional organizations.

In this Webinar, Ixia Security Researchers will discuss the current landscape of attackers, dissect couple of popular ransomware attacks and focus on the need for continuous assessment to protect your networks.

SSL encryption is one of the key enabling technologies of the Internet. We use it for e-commerce, collaborating with partners, and even email. But increasingly, encryption is also used to shield malicious activities – such as malware and ransomware downloads – from detection by network security devices.

Join this interactive webinar to learn:
- How the new TLS1.3 standard increases both privacy and the difficulty in detecting malware and data leak
- Understand best practices for adapting to the changing environment

As you may know, encryption is a double-edged sword—the same SSL that can protect your network can also be used by malware and other threats to hide from security and monitoring tools. Ixia’s Active SSL allows you to see these threats hidden in SSL traffic while improving network speed and security.

Join Ixia’s Recep Ozdag—VP Product Management, Kris Raney—Sr. Architect—Cloud and Virtualization, and Murali Allada—Principal Software Engineer along with Greg Ferro, Author at Packet Pushers and Ethan Banks, Co-Founder of Packet Pushers for a podcast that covers how to access packet data in the cloud for security and monitoring.

Their discussion begins with an overview of traditional data center visibility tools and why they cannot meet the demands of a cloud infrastructure, covers the need for security and monitoring in the cloud, the benefits of a cloud-native solution, and details how Ixia’s CloudLens platform allows you to access, filter, and forward packet data in the public cloud.

Enterprises cannot move to the cloud quickly enough. In fact, Gartner estimates that by 2020, “cloud-first” and “cloud-only” will be standard corporate policies rather than exceptions.
That’s a big problem for traditional security infrastructures. There’s a hodgepodge of disparate, disconnected security products that were not made to secure the cloud. Some vendors have “cloud-washed” their products, but these deliver questionable value. In real-world situations, these products perform poorly, lack critical functionality, and cannot provide the visibility time-strapped security teams require to be effective.

What infrastructure administrators really need are smart tools that can give them visibility across silos, through clouds, and into applications.

Ixia - Bring Efficiency to Security Operations

Mega trends such as data center consolidation, cloud migration, and migration to Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions disrupt the way enterprises host and run business-critical applications.

In this webinar you will learn how network visibility is key to the performance and security of the network and the applications that run on it. It is expected that on-premises visibility needs will increase, while the need for visibility in the cloud continues to grow and evolve. Visibility-as-a-Service (VaaS) enables organizations to access network traffic across their entire infrastructure on demand, whether that data is in a public or private cloud, branch office, campus, or data center.

Where business security is concerned, IT needs to move with speed and without hesitation. Visibility can make all the difference.

Join our experts from Ixia and ZK Research as they discuss the critical nature of unobstructed visibility in network security. Viewers will learn:

· The building blocks of the Digital Enterprise and Digitization

· Why the current state of IT Security is not scalable and how businesses are falling behind

· How Visibility can tip the Security Scales in IT’s favor by exposing persistent threats and enabling the ability to “see” insider threats.

2017 will be a year of significant change for many operators. Efforts to virtualize network functions and increase levels of automation; projects to upgrade fixed and mobile networks with new access technologies; and the need to manage evolving types and patterns of traffic will all leading to significant infrastructure upheaval. Against this backdrop, operators still need to ensure customers are getting what they pay for, which means their test and measurement activities need to alter too. Meanwhile, the T&M industry itself is being subjected to some of these changes: for instance, replacement of hardware probes with virtual probes, and the automation of test procedures.

This on-demand webinar will look at hot themes in test and measurement in the coming year, and what these will mean for operators.
