Unmatched Network Visibility with LiveAction

Unimpeded network performance is the core aim for NetOps activities, one of which is troubleshooting network performance issues by using packet data and network flows. 21% of network managers say tool fragmentation is one of the biggest challenges they have with network operations. When flow and packet data are aggregated and analyzed, network insights can lead teams to better, faster solutions.

In this 20-minute session, a LiveAction expert will guide you on the path forward to minimize the impact of poor application and network performance. 

Join us to learn how you can:

• Take advantage of every data source possible: NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, SNMP, Packet data, APIs
• Aggregate, analyze, store and present data from an all-in-one dashboard
• Generate flow data from packets and add visibility where it wasn’t possible before
• Participate in a Q&A session

Determining the scope and impact of a compromise is more complex than ever before. The cost of security analysts is increasingly more expensive, and the overwhelming volume of duplicate alerts and false positives compounds the challenge SecOps teams face. In addition, encrypted network traffic further complicates the investigation.

Join us for part 3 of our Detecting Advanced Threats webinar series. We’ll take you through everything you need to know to detect advanced threat actors and uncover malicious activity hiding inside encrypted traffic. 

This episode will detail the importance of event correlation prioritized workflows for security operations. Learn how incident response and post-eradication remediation can be improved leveraging:
• Asset Risk & Threat Assessment Scoring for Response Prioritization
• Automated Event Correlation
• Casebook Breach Tracking

Detecting Advanced Threats with Event Correlation

Packets don’t lie. If you’re a network engineer, you’ve probably heard it more times than you can count, and maybe even said it yourself. There are times when we need to know exactly what happened on the network, and the packets are the only record of exactly what happened. Packets represent the exact transmission of data, including encoding to make sure the data haven’t been altered. If you have the packets, you know exactly what happened. But packets are fleeting – they travel from a source to a destination and are lost forever – unless you record the packet data. 

In this 20-minute session, a LiveAction expert will discuss when, how, and why you want to record network packets, providing concrete examples of what is possible and the secrets that can be revealed. 

Join us to learn how you can:

• Capture network packets at line rate
• Optimize your capture points for maximum effectiveness
• Leverage packets for network monitoring, troubleshooting, and security investigations
• Gain insights that can only be revealed from having the packets themselves

survey conducted by Linkedin found that 28% of the respondents found their voice conferencing platforms inadequate. Real-time transcription was one of the top 4 reasons given. VoIP has been around since 1995, so why can’t we seem to get it right? 
 
VoIP is arguably the most unique traffic on your network. The real-time nature of voice makes this traffic far more sensitive to common network issues, like latency and dropped packets due to network congestion. While TCP/IP can usually recover from these conditions, in most cases VoIP cannot, leading to a poor user experience. Do you know what distinguishes “good” from “bad” VoIP traffic? Do you know how to spot common VoIP problems in Flow data? In packet data? 
 
In this 20-minute session, a LiveAction expert will dissect VoIP at both the Flow and packet level, demonstrating how to quickly isolate and address VoIP quality issues.  
 
Join us to learn how you can: 
 
• Capture and analyze VoIP traffic for both Flow and packet analysis 
• Spot key performance indicators for VoIP 
• Learn what typical VoIP traffic looks like at both the Flow and packet level 
• Gain immediate insight into the analysis of VoIP traffic so you can shift from a reactive to a proactive approach

Many of the headline cyber attacks are still occurring against on-premise systems. Despite organizations moving production workloads to the cloud, attackers are leveraging phishing and stolen credentials for remote access into organizations, and they will get in. Future proofing your encrypted traffic strategy should include ETA visibility from the core, to the edge, and in multi-cloud, to identify threats actively operating inside your environment.

Join us for part 2 of our Detecting Advanced Threats webinar series, where we’ll take you through everything you need to know for detecting advanced threat actors and uncovering malicious activity hiding inside encrypted traffic. 

This episode will detail the importance of advanced behavioral analysis to identify threat actor activity operating inside your network. With major attacks, threat actors operate inside the network for a period of time before, sometimes weeks, before successfully executing their attack. Learn how behavioral analysis can be applied to identity threat activity such as:

o Reconnaissance
o Lateral Movement
o Data Staging
o Data Exfiltration

Are your users reporting that a specific application (or the internet in general) is slow, intermittent, or not functioning at all? Is the network being blamed for poor application design? Are you lacking the tools to troubleshoot and quickly repair the situation? Are critical applications like VoIP and video, which  are highly sensitive to jitter, packet loss, and latency, generating too many support tickets? 

In this 20-minute session, a LiveAction expert will share some cool tips to assess and improve the health of your network and ensure that both the network and critical apps stay up and running.

Join us to learn how you can:

• Capture traffic and quickly diagnose the problem
• Discover what types of problems are happening, whether they are network issues like TCP window size, or application related issues like HTTP errors or slow response times 
• Optimize alerting by clicking into alerts and report on VoIP issues and drilldown to the path analysis
• Gain immediate insight into root cause and how to quickly resolve problems

Threat actors have moved operations inside encrypted traffic to evade detection. For example, 91.5% of malware arrived over encrypted traffic in Q2’21. Encrypted communication guarantees data confidentially; however, it has created a blind spot for network defenders. As a result, attackers are ever-present, ready to compromise your organization. It’s time for a new approach to detect advanced threats, a future-proofed security detection strategy unfazed by encryption. 

Join us for part 1 of our Detecting Advanced Threats webinar series, where we’ll take you through everything you need to know for detecting advanced threat actors and uncovering malicious activity hiding inside encrypted traffic. 

This episode will detail the challenges associated with threat detection and how to solve those challenges with Encrypted Traffic Analysis (ETA). Learn How:
- Metadata from Deep packet dynamics is used to identify and classify network traffic
- Advanced levels of Encrypted Traffic Analysis can future-proof your security strategy
- AI / ML is applied to identify advanced threat tactics, such as:
o Phishing Site Detection
o Hands-on-Keyboard - Threat Actor Keystroke Detection
o Unauthorized Remote Access – RDP/SSH
o Unexpected Encrypted/Plaintext Traffic
