Keeping sensitive digital data hidden from cybercriminals who consistently lurk over like vultures is one of the most prominent challenges organizations face these days. Before a decade or so, a firewall or cyber security software would have done the job. But, today, as technology evolved, cyber-crimes have assumed an advanced posture which most businesses dread. Enterprises with modern applications migrating from the data centre to cloud and SaaS platforms face an uphill battle when it comes to cybersecurity. Despite heightened awareness, high-profile breaches continue to occur at alarming rates. Riverbed network security solutions provide the visibility to identify threats of all shapes and sizes, from campus to cloud. 

Riverbed enables its customers to visualize, identify and mitigate cybersecurity threats and accelerate the performance of any network for any application. Customers leveraging the Riverbed platform achieve new levels of business performance and operational agility and gain several capabilities that strengthen security postures.

Today, cybercriminals are constantly looking for new ways to beat organizational defences. That’s why every business need a network security solution that keeps its network secure and available. Riverbed NetProfiler Advanced Security Module transforms network data into security intelligence, providing essential visibility and forensics for broad threat detection, investigation, and mitigation. By capturing and storing all network flow and packet data across your enterprise, it delivers the crucial insights to detect and investigate advanced persistent threats that bypass typical preventative measures, as well as those that originate inside the network. Organizations can Leverage Riverbed’s full-fidelity flow and packet data to gain insight into network activity that indicates suspicious behavior. As a typical enterprise deals with 196 security threats each year, Riverbed helps to transform network data into actionable cybersecurity intelligence by leveraging by threat intelligence and security analytics.

Organizations have relied upon encryption to secure digital communications. SSL (Secure Socket Layer), TLS (Transport Layer Security), has been the preferred encryption protocol. Today, most customer network traffic is encrypted, with some estimating more than 90% of all digital traffic is encrypted. But encryption is a double-edged sword. On the positive side, encryption protects the customers’ most sensitive and critical data. At the same time, it blocks their ability to monitor and inspect network traffic, masking their ability to detect errant traffic patterns, bizarre behaviour and malicious threats.

Since its inception in 2002, Riverbed has helped the world’s largest organizations maximize the performance of their networks and applications so they can reach the full potential of their IT investments.
