POWERED BY posture. That is the transformative power of a GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform.
Why should organisations not rely on inline tools?
Inline tools( as shown on the previous page) present the following challenges for both network and security teams:
• Introduces multiple points of failure
• Physical interfaces must match the network
• Degrades network and application performance
• Wastes cycles on traffic it cannot analyse
• Does not scale to network speeds
• Disruptive to upgrade or replace
THE RESULTS ARE A MORE EFFECTIVE SECURITY ARCHITECTURE WITH AN IMPROVED SECURITY POSTURE.
• Cannot be moved to or from out-of-band operation( detection vs prevention)
What are the advantages of the platform increasing network visibility?
By providing pervasive network visibility across public cloud( Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure), private cloud( Openstack), virtualised and physical environments, the GigaSECURE SDP maximises the security tools efficacy and results in a more simplified and effective security architecture with an improved security posture.
The GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform
How easily does the platform fit into existing IT environments?
The platform fits passively into the existing IT environments.
What are the advantages of the platform only sending traffic to the security tool it actually needs?
By sending only the traffic the security tools need you gain the following advantages:
• Increased tool efficiency( reduces tool costs by 10 times and saves 50 % on time spent on tools)
• Eliminates waste cycles on traffic it cannot analyse
• Eliminates the costly need to upgrade an existing security tool
The integrated physical and logical inline bypass capability is a key component of the GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform that enables security administrators to simultaneously maximise threat prevention, security resilience and network uptime. Using this approach, security architects can stop tool sprawl, cut tool costs and significantly shorten the time required to roll out threat prevention initiatives in their organisation. •
