关于客户
美国军方这一部门的 IT 和安全运营团队肩负着一项艰巨的任务——确保其应用服务在世界各地的安全性、性能和可用性。对于这个军方部门来说，数十万现役人员和预备役人员以及部署在全球各地的数千名文职雇员都依赖这支 IT 和安全运营团队实现无缝、安全的通信。这些军人和地点之间快速、畅通的通信至关重要，尤其是考虑到美国公民的安全和保护可能处于危险之中。军方人员依赖他们的联网应用来实现各种目的，从简单的电子邮件、语音服务和视频会议（统一通信和协作 - UC&C），到企业资源规划 (ERP)，用于订购和交付所有设备、制服、食品和其他用品，这只是一些重要服务的一个例子。
挑战
美国军方部门参与了一项重大的、为期多年的数据中心和数字化转型计划，该计划涉及其基础设施设计的许多方面。由于有多个主要数据中心、100 个远程设施、关键服务迁移到 Amazon AWS GovCloud 以及数千名远程用户，为关键应用服务提供一致的高质量可用性并非易事。需要广泛、全面的端到端应用程序可视性来识别和排除中断，在迁移到新数据中心技术和/或云之前、期间和之后跟踪性能，映射服务依赖关系，并趋势从其全球所有位置到数据中心和云服务的最终用户体验，以确保安全性和优质服务交付的一致性。
解决方案
军事部门选择了以下组件来构建一个全面的解决方案，重点关注关键能力和功能：nGeniusONE 服务保证平台和 NETSCOUT 认证的 InfiniStreamNG 9000 系列软件设备，用于监控整个高速数据中心的南北流量；部署在 AWS GovCloud 中的 vSTREAM 虚拟设备；基于软件的 nGenius 5000 数据包流交换机，用于将网络数据包流量转发和分发到下游工具；nGeniusPULSE 带有 2000 和 3000 个 nPoint 传感器，部署到近 100 个远程位置，用于测量、评估、排除故障和了解影响最终用户体验的问题。现场工程师 (OSE) 是 NETSCOUT 优质服务计划的一部分，已签约协助部署、运行和持续分析 NETSCOUT 解决方案。

Case Study
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.
