17:20 Purpose Built Tools For Cyber Security Monitoring

  • Cyber security monitoring requires very specific tools, many of the tools available on the market today are simply not fit for purpose
  • A new approach is required to monitor modern high speed networks – particularly cellular networks that have, until now, been a black spot
  • Endace has developed a purpose built multi-function cyber security platform from the ground up specifically to meet the needs of CERT teams across the world
  • In the presentation we’ll take the platform apart, explore the layers within it and help delegates understand how the right tools can radically improve their visibility into today’s (and tomorrow’s) networks
  • At the end delegates will have a detailed understanding of the key features that they should be looking for when evaluating cyber security monitoring platforms
