关于客户
客户是一家专注于研究与开发 (R&D) 活动的美国政府机构。他们的工作旨在推出科学解决方案，以增强国家及其公民的安全和环境。该机构的网络团队负责维护高度安全的数据中心、计算和校园环境，网络性能延迟接近于零。鉴于该机构的工作性质，他们经常成为网络攻击的目标。维护高安全性对该机构来说至关重要，多年来，他们的安全保障解决方案受益于 NETSCOUT® 数据包流交换机 (PFS) 技术，该技术在其网络环境中提供高级数据包切片和主动内联安全功能。
挑战
该美国政府机构专注于研究与开发 (R&D) 活动，在将网络升级到 100G 速度时面临挑战。其现有的数据包流量交换机和下游监控设备无法处理这些新速度和更高的流量。该机构还使用 200G 上行链路/端口，网络团队有新的相关数据包调节要求，包括重复数据删除和数据包切片。所有这些变化都发生在网络环境中，其中最轻微的网络延迟都是一个问题 - 即使 1 毫秒的延迟对该机构来说也是不可接受的。该机构需要技术更新来处理增加的网络速度和高级数据包调节要求。
解决方案
该机构决定在其计算数据中心部署 NETSCOUT nGenius 6000 系列数据包流交换机 (PFS) 机箱，以解决其 100G 网络升级和下一代网络数据包调节规范问题，其中热插拔 PFS 6000 线卡分别支持 40 x 1Gb/10Gb 端口和 6 x 100Gb QSFP28 端口覆盖。该解决方案使网络团队能够弥补其变革性 1G、10G、40G 和 100G 网络与扩展的网络安全工具环境中的差距，同时确保完美的网络性能。该解决方案支持 10/100G 速度网络分接头的聚合，然后能够将高价值网络数据包数据转发到其现有的网络安全和 IT 工具。它还提供了 64 kbps 的条件数据包切片功能（这是一项至关重要的功能）和数据包重复数据删除功能。

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.
