Brief Overview

The Vision ONE network packet broker (NPB) is a turnkey device that enables organizations to maintain security as well as identify and resolve performance problems across physical and virtual infrastructures from a single platform. Whether fighting against threats hidden in encrypted traffic, or feeding the right data to the right forensic solution, Vision ONE boosts network protection without negatively impacting performance.

Vision ONE is a crucial step toward complete network security that enables customers to build a layered defense with a combination of best-of-breed inline security and out-of-band analysis tools, or create a strong foundation that helps you understand what is happening across an enterprise network.

Aided by the integration of Ixia AppStack capabilities, Vision ONE enables organizations to filter and visualize not only Level 2-4 traffic, but also Layer 7 application traffic, so that suspicious applications can be tagged and monitored. This provides security advantages for users to quickly spot rogue applications or unusual activity, including traffic or packets moving between unauthorized geographies, or questionable file transfer protocol (FTP) transfers conducted on sensitive data.

Ixia AppStack delivers real-time application and user data to monitoring tools so that customers can be empowered to make better decisions with better data. It provides rich data on behavior and location of users and applications in any format needed, including raw packets, filtered packets or metadata. Ixia offers centralized network visibility management and operational control via a single pane of glass which allows users to scale in both physical and virtual environments.

Ixia’s Active SSL technology, a part of the SecureStack feature set, provides organizations visibility to see inside traffic encrypted with ephemeral key to enhance the security of their network.
