Secure IT, OT, and ICS Environments with Keysight

Solution Briefs

Keysight’s intelligent network visibility feeds the Forescout Platform a steady stream of reliable data, enabling efficient monitoring and analysis of traffic, even where legacy networks won’t support traffic mirroring or agent-based monitoring. Keysight physical (copper, fiber, industrial) and virtual taps capture traffic anywhere in the extended network and forward it to Keysight’s purpose-built Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) for advanced processing and efficient delivery to Forescout.

 

Keysight NPBs aggregate and process traffic from multiple taps and switched port analyzer (SPAN) ports to eliminate 1:1 tool connections that fail to scale. Operating out of band, Keysight physical and virtual solutions reduce the strain on monitoring infrastructures by decrypting and pre-processing aggregated network traffic for analysis.

Keysight NPBs:

  • Capture all packet data for monitoring
  • Aggregate tapped traffic needed for monitoring
  • Filter out data and remove duplicates ensuring valuable packets are not dropped
  • Replicate, load balance and deliver data required for analysis to the right tools
  • Prevent failures to ensure business continuity

 

Keysight’s Vision Orchestrator (KVO) acts as the central point of management, automation, and orchestration of all Keysight visibility solutions to enable scale and industry-best ease of use.
