关于客户
客户是一家美国政府机构，运营着一个高度安全的环境，以保护分散在全国数百个技术各异的设施中的实物资产。为了帮助完成这一任务，该机构雇用了数万名地区员工，还运营着多个数据中心，以支持与保持所有这些设施按照高安全标准运行相关的信息技术 (IT) 需求。近 10 年来，IT 团队一直使用 NETSCOUT® nGeniusONE 统一通信 (UC) 性能分析来监控该机构的语音和视频应用程序，包括远程医疗和远程保健应用程序。在此期间，IT 通过在主数据中心部署 NETSCOUT 的 nGenius InfiniStream® 设备技术，获得了对其网络环境中运行的流量的必要可见性。
挑战
美国政府机构面临着多项挑战。他们希望升级网络带宽以支持更快的 10G 和 40G 网络速度，他们预计这将有助于避免他们偶尔遇到的一些关键应用程序的不良性能。他们还计划推出下一代网络运营中心 (NOC)，以更好地支持升级后的网络以及在该网络上运行的应用程序、服务和 UC 解决方案。此外，他们希望通过增强过去一直作为“热”备用站点的辅助数据中心的网络可见性来改善数据中心冗余和灾难恢复预防。该机构的安全运营 (SecOps) 团队还参与了旨在增强组织保障的战略工作。他们希望通过获取高价值网络数据包流量来增强其入侵检测系统 (IDS) 和漏洞扫描解决方案，从而提高安全取证活动的效率。
解决方案
NETSCOUT 的方法通过提供融合下一代智能可视性和数据包代理技术的解决方案来扩大已部署的 nGeniusONE 和 InfiniStream 解决方案所提供的投资回报，从而明确满足了该机构对升级 UC 和网络监控、网络可视性和取证安全性的集体要求。该下一代解决方案提供了扩展的网络可视性，在新的 NOC 中部署了下一代 InfiniStreamNG (ISNG) 技术以支持该机构更快的 10G 和 40G 网络速度，并在辅助数据中心重新部署了旧式 InfiniStream 以提供额外的网络可视性和网络监控冗余。它还增强了对机构用户体验的监控，已经部署的 nGeniusONE 分析进一步受益于 ISNG 将数据包数据实时转换为智能数据的能力，从而提高了 NETSCOUT 的 UC 监控功能的价值。最后，它提高了安全可视性，nGenius 数据包流交换机 (PFS) 技术将流量传送到该机构的 IDS 和漏洞扫描平台。

Data Capture for Afghanistan Forces
Electronic equipments on the field of Afghanistan provided information on the status of the vehicle and to identify potential threats surrounding it to the British Force. The monitoring and interpretation of this data requires robust and sophisticated digitization for data capture and communication.

Enhancing Security and Compliance in Remitly's Global Money Transfer Service with Fastly
Remitly, an online remittance service, was faced with the challenge of securing its proprietary global transfer network. The company needed a security solution that could meet PCI requirements and protect customers' sensitive transactions through its mobile application. The solution had to be capable of defending against new and emerging attack types without impacting performance. Remitly also had to deal with irregular traffic patterns, such as a sudden spike in account transfers from a small network segment on the Pacific coastline of South America. The company needed to determine in real time whether such traffic indicated an attack or valid requests. A traditional web application firewall (WAF) would not be able to distinguish this traffic, potentially leading to customer frustration if the IP was blacklisted.

Major Aerospace Company Automates Asset Management
The O&M division of an aerospace and global security company was using spreadsheets to manually track more than 3,000 assets assigned to students and staff. Maintaining audit trails for this high volume of equipment became increasingly time-consuming and challenging. The chore involved knowing precisely what equipment was on hand, what had been issued, its location and the name of the custodial owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried out by individuals with spreadsheets. Manually documenting the full lifecycle of each asset added to the burden. This included tracking maintenance requirements and records, incidents and damages, repairs, calibrations, depreciation, and end-of-life data.

Securing a Large Data Center in the EMEA Region: An IoT Case Study
A leading data-center operator in the EMEA region, with multiple facilities spanning over 25,000 square meters, faced significant security challenges. The operator experienced interruptions in their internal IT network due to unsupervised work of third-party technicians. Despite having a high-end building control system that provided 24x7 monitoring and control to all the building’s infrastructure, the data center was vulnerable from a cyber perspective as it was connected to the IT network infrastructure. The operator launched an urgent OT cyber security project that included both IT-OT network segmentation and OT network asset mapping and anomaly detection. The main objectives were to harden the security of the server systems, secure the facility’s power supply and server cooling system, strengthen the segmentation between building and operational systems, create a visual OT network map, and set up a system for presenting supply-chain attacks that may threaten the data center through equipment vendors’ maintenance activities.

Leveraging Graph Technology for Enhanced Cybersecurity: A Case Study on MITRE's CyGraph
MITRE, a federally-funded, not-for-profit company that manages seven national research and development laboratories in the United States, was grappling with the challenge of managing an influx of cybersecurity data. The constant changes in network environments were impacting the security posture of U.S. government agencies. Intrusion alerts, anti-virus warnings, and seemingly benign events like logins, service connections, and file share access were all potentially associated with adversary activity. The cybersecurity researchers at MITRE needed to go beyond rudimentary assessments of security posture and attack response. This required merging isolated data into higher-level knowledge of network-wide attack vulnerabilities and mission readiness. The challenge was not the lack of information, but the ability to assemble disparate pieces of information into an overall analytic picture for situational awareness, optimal courses of action, and maintaining mission readiness. The team also struggled with fully comprehending a given security environment and mapping all known vulnerabilities.

Enhancing Security Precision with IoT: A Case Study of Guardsman Group
Guardsman Group, a leading security company in the Caribbean, faced a significant challenge in maintaining the security of its digital infrastructure. The company provides security equipment, personnel, and systems for various businesses across the region. However, one of its offices experienced a security incident that affected all communications at that location. The existing security tools were not sufficient to provide the necessary protection, and it took hours to identify the source of the issue. This incident highlighted the need for a dynamic solution that could proactively identify threats. The company's primary concern was any disruption to its business, as it manages a significant portion of Jamaica's money and cannot afford for its operations to go down.
