AI is everywhere. As much as we continue to be amazed by the positive impact it has had on our lives, it didn’t take long to realize how it can also be employed in malicious ways. Threat actors use it to turbocharge modern cyberattacks, creating countless variations of realistic phishing emails, and developing more sophisticated malware that is highly difficult to detect.
To combat these modern threats, enterprise defenders need AI-powered network visibility that can quickly detect and help mitigate cyberattacks before they can create havoc and do irreparable harm.
Keysight AI-Powered turns NPBs into Insight Brokers
We are excited to partner with Keysight Technologies and incorporate their AI-powered network visibility tools into our cybersecurity solution offerings. Keysight’s innovative Vision Insight Broker (TM) is a memory- and storage-enhanced network packet broker (NPB) that processes data at the network edge: sorting, filtering, and delivering the right network traffic to the right tools. This helps enterprise IT and security operations (SecOps) teams maintain a powerful speed and agility advantage — one that works to reduce risk, cost, and time to act — at scale.
Flexible Integration Models Streamline Deployment
This new class of network packet broker features two flexible options for leveraging AI as part of your cybersecurity defense strategy:
- Keysight’s AI Stack software provides anomaly detection, dynamic application signature identification, and predictive analytics. AI Stack allows more processing to happen at the edge of the network and helps optimize cloud utilization.
- AppFusion third-party integrations speed deployment of multi-vendor visibility and monitoring infrastructures. Organizations can integrate AI-led monitoring from Keysight alliance partners like Forescout and ExtraHop to reduce hardware requirements and operational costs.
Industry Analysts Confirm the Advantages of AI-powered Cybersecurity
Research conducted by the Ponemon Institute for the IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2024 report illustrates how AI helps enterprises to prevent, investigate, and shut down cyber threats faster. Organizations that use AI and automation extensively for security were able to identify and contain breaches nearly 100 days faster than other companies. Extensive use of AI also shortened the average time taken to identify and contain threats by 33% and 43% respectively.
Jon Fox, CNI Systems Engineer, sees great promise in this solution as cybercrime continues to become more prevalent and sophisticated. “This is such a great application for AI – ingesting massive amounts of network data and quickly adding the context needed to make decisions. AI models are well-suited for complex tasks like anomaly detection, and the savings in threat detection and response times will be worth the investment.”
