Video Series: Listen to Your Network

Your network has so much it wants to tell you.

With the continued expansion of IoT, SD-WAN deployments, cloud migrations, and an increase in remote users, today’s hybrid IT environment is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and secure.

Network and security teams need immediate access to the right data, but the all this complexity can make it challenging to find and make sense of everything your network has to tell you.

In this series of brief, 5-10 minute educational videos, we’ll delve into potential data sources that you have already invested in and untapped veins of information that will help you find and resolve threats, troubleshoot issues more quickly, understand the end-user experience, and address performance issues before they impact the business.

A short list of the network performance and threat topics includes:

  • Security profiling
  • Enriched flow analysis
  • VPN monitoring
  • DNS exfiltration
  • Much more…

You’ll come away with a better understanding of under-utilized data sources and techniques to help you effectively identify and manage network and application performance issues, mitigate security threats, and ultimately drive operational excellence.

A look at a typical day in IT identifying and managing performance issues, followed by a discussion of the best use of meta-data and packet data, illustrating the VIAVI difference using our patent-pending End-User Experience Score.

Why network and application performance monitoring is missing the mark with data overload and lack of context.
