Ixia's Vision ONE now works with RSA's NetWitness Suite

Ixia, a  provider of network test, visibility, and security solutions, has announced that the company’s network packet broker (NPB), Vision ONE, has been certified as interoperable with RSA’s NetWitness Suite for advanced threat detection and response. RSA NetWitness Suite is designed to provide pre-emptive, proactive detection of known and unknown threats, and understands the full scope of a cyber-attack across endpoints, networks, and the cloud.

This interoperability will help enable enterprise customers with diverse architectures to easily deploy comprehensive network security without compromising performance. RSA, a cybersecurity specialist, has also named Ixia a technology partner in the RSA Ready Program.

“We’re pleased to see Ixia complete RSA Ready certification testing for a use case that will help enable our mutual customers to reduce operational costs, while improving network and data protection,” said Mike Adler, VP, Products for RSA.

Ixia’s Vision ONE enables organisations to maintain security as well as identify and resolve performance problems across physical and virtual infrastructures from a single platform. The solution directs traffic of interest to monitoring tools to relieve oversubscription, leverages tool investment across groups, and centralises monitoring in the security operations centre (SOC). It simultaneously collects traffic feeds from major network segments through Ixia’s network and virtual taps.

“The evolving challenges of cybercrime cannot be tackled without cooperation among security leaders,” stated Scott Westlake, VP, Business Development at Ixia. “Bringing RSA’s cybersecurity expertise to work with Ixia’s visibility solutions will facilitate the efficient and effective deployment of security risk management (SRM) projects for customers of all sizes.”
