North American Electric Utility Optimizes Network Visibility with Keysight

Keysight Technologies is a leading provider of advanced design and validation solutions that help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world. Keysight offers network visibility and security solutions that enable customers to monitor, analyze and protect their networks from cyber threats and performance issues. One of Keysight's customers is a large North American electric utility that replaced its legacy visibility architecture with a new Keysight solution in 2021. The new solution improved the utility's cybersecurity operations immediately and delivered value in several ways: - It increased the reliability and stability of the visibility architecture, eliminating data gaps and failures that plagued the previous system. - It enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of the security analysis and packet capture tools by filtering and deduplicating data, reducing noise, storage and processing overhead. - It provided insight into network changes and traffic flows, allowing tool owners to proactively adjust monitoring and collaborate with infrastructure teams. - It enabled the utility to extend its visibility into virtual and cloud environments, as well as expand its coverage of physical, on-premises infrastructure with more Keysight products. The Keysight products that the utility used include: - Vision X: A high-performance network packet broker that delivers intelligent data processing and distribution across complex networks. Vision X supports up to 6.4 Tbps of traffic data and offers advanced features such as application filtering, SSL decryption, packet slicing and load balancing. - E10S: A compact network packet broker that provides essential visibility functions for small to medium-sized networks. E10S supports up to 320 Gbps of traffic data and offers features such as filtering, aggregation, replication and deduplication. - T1000: A high-density packet aggregator that simplifies network monitoring by consolidating traffic from multiple sources into a single output. T1000 supports up to 1.6 Tbps of traffic data and offers features such as filtering, load balancing and timestamping.
