cPacket powers hybrid-cloud observability through its Intelligent Observability Platform. It reduces service outages through network-centric application analysis, strengthens cyber security through high-resolution network data for threat detection, and accelerates incident response through network forensic analysis. The result is increased service agility, experience assurance, and transactional velocity for the business. Find out more at www.cpacket.com.

We have entered an era of accelerated digitalization of everything and there continues to be exponential growth in demand for intelligent data and better user experiences. This drives operators of large-scale data centers to steadily increase their network transmission speeds. Large-scale data centers in demanding industries are rapidly moving to 100G networks, but many organizations have made heavy investment in 10G and 40G networks.For certain applications, 10G/40G is still considered the network workhorse for the foreseeable future and every attempt should be made to maximize this investment.

Join Iain Kenney, Sr. Director & Head of Product Management, in this informative webinar to learn about:
• Today’s data center multi-speed environment and observability dependencies 
• The most important conditions when choosing your network migration path and associated observability architecture 
• How cPacket can help extend your organization’s data center portfolio for broader connectivity, versatility, investment protection, and observability

Maximizing your 10G/40G install base while preparing for a 100G future!

Service downtime is more expensive than ever and ensuring consistent access to mission-critical applications and good end-user experience is essential for customer loyalty and employee productivity. Protecting your revenue-generating services and data from security threats and attacks that may stall the business is not a choice.  A lot of newer types of attacks emerge from within the network. Businesses must implement a strategy to ensure network-centric security and observability for threat detection and mitigation. 

Join Andy Idsinga, Sr. Strategic Cloud Architect at cPacket, in this informative talk to learn how to de-risk your IT infrastructure and operations.

Learn more about:
•  Your options to provision a network-centric security and observability practice –i.e., network detection and response (NDR) solution across all three major clouds (Azure, AWS, GCP)
•  What to expect in your deployment journey and gaining real-time network visibility for vs forensic data for incident response 
•  The key questions and considerations for you and your IT teams in terms of technology and objectives

Black Box: Making Cybersecurity Anti-Fragile

A top priority for IT teams is to assure secure and optimal operation of the organization’s IT infrastructure, including its network that provides critical connectivity. Assurance is an ongoing process that necessitates IT personnel having detailed insights and security and performance management tools that have high-quality and actionable network data.

cPacket Networks’ Michael Vallas and Andy Idsinga together possess decades of hands-on experience designing and managing networks for large global organizations. In this webinar, they will share tales from the trenches and hard-learned lessons that you can apply to your daily activities such as:

- Solving IT infrastructure problems using network visibility
- Visibility issues with over subscription
- Rapidly handling high-priority incidents
- Validating visibility products pre-production

Assuring Performance of Large Networks - Stories from the Trenches

According to Gartner, by 2023, over 60% of the enterprises will deem networking as core to their digital strategies, making network a strategic enabler. A network without network visibility, however, is a major business risk, yet it’s not on most CXOs’ priority list. Investing in an appropriate network infrastructure is the lifeline for keeping business-critical services up and running as well as user experiences intact. The network is often ignored and undervalued – until something goes wrong. 

A commonly asked question for IT I&O leadership is around measuring and justifying the investments for network visibility. and how to justify its urgency and importance. cPacket has a very clear and straight forward formula for measuring network visibility ROI. 

Attend this webinar to learn: 
• The key factors and KPIs to measure for network visibility investments
• How you can benefit from tracking those metrics 
• How to calculate and quantify the ROI

Determining ROI for Network Visibility

Breaches happen by clever and well-armed cybercriminals who use many tactics, techniques, and procedures to infiltrate IT infrastructure, implant malware, and execute attacks. There is a lot at stake, so you need to know as much as possible with little or no delay to minimize adverse consequences.

Network monitoring that pipelines packets from the core network to cybersecurity analysts and analytics is the foundation of detecting and responding. Stealth is an often-used weapon, so monitoring with the highest possible fidelity is necessary to detect increasingly subtle Indicators of Attack and Indicators of Compromise.

This webinar will provide a stepwise plan for achieving faster breach detection and maximizing resilience to cyber risks by showing you how to: 
 
• Instrument any network, physical, virtual, hybrid-cloud, for high-fidelity monitoring to losslessly acquire and reliably deliver network packet data to SOC and SecOps security analysts and the analytics and tools they use
• Capture, store, and organize network packet data for use as security evidence 
• Forensically analyze security evidence to facilitate a rapid and effective response

Faster Breach Detection

Service assurance, application monitoring and cloud security rely on network visibility across the board in a hybrid cloud and multicloud environment during and post cloud migration.

Performance issues and cyber attacks take place in the cloud just like in the data centers. Services like AWS Cloudwatch or Google Monitor do not provide the rich enough information such as troubleshooting packet loss for network performance monitoring or packet capture or network traffic analysis for cyber security and incident response. 

In the cloud, nature of issues is different, the blind spots are different, and the network visibility you have is limited. Troubleshooting in the cloud requires a different set of tools and methods that should seamlessly integrate with on-premises tools and workflows.

What You Will Learn
• Network detection response and network diagnostics in the hybrid cloud world 
• How to pinpoint and troubleshoot bottlenecks and workload performance issues in public cloud
• How to capture and analyze cloud traffic for threat detection and cloud security  
• Best practices learned by our experts who’ve helped many customers in the above. 

You don’t want to miss this workshop if your role is:
• Network Architect/Engineer
• Instrumentation Engineer
• Security Architect/Engineer
• Application Ops, Cloud Ops, DevOps, SRE

Network flow data is a great time-saver and often enough for what you need to assure security, investigate problems, and optimize network performance. It drives operational efficiency by providing visibility into traffic and resource utilization. Flow data never gets old which is why it remains popular with IT network and security teams. Analyzing flow data is an efficient starting point to visualize overall network traffic before drilling into network packet data for investigating issues detected by firewalls, shaping policy decisions. When correlated with other data sources it deepens network and actionable intelligence.
Attend this webinar to learn: 
• How NetFlow and IPFIX flow data compares with log and packet data and the best practices for using them
• How to easily generate industry standard flow data that can be consumed by performance and security tools, and flow collectors
• Tips for using flow data for threat detection, transactional analysis, troubleshooting, policy enforcement, capacity planning, and other applications
