IXIA has just released its 2018 security report.  In our increasingly digital and connected world, security is an ever-present challenge. Human ingenuity and creativity drive both the solutions we develop and the threats we face. For that reason, we must continue to push forward and implement solutions that are continuous and resilient, stress detection and response, and seek to shrink our attack surface and risk profile.  The analysis covers

• The shifting focus to cloud operations from cloud migration
• Strategies for ensuring security and compliance in the cloud
• How clouds are forcing changes in security best practices
• The evolving threat and risk resulting from cyber-crime
• How encryption is benefiting businesses, and also hackers

We analyze the impact of these trends on an organization's security architecture and policies. Download the 2018 Ixia Security Report to learn more.

With multi-million-dollar security breaches continuing to make headlines, businesses continue to invest in advanced security defenses—next-generation firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (NGFW and NGIPS), data leak prevention (DLP), distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation, and others. But along with the obvious challenge of having to manage the growing complexity, deploying multiple security elements inline can introduce new vulnerabilities and put availability at risk.
