KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia., <\/strong>February 26,\u00a02020\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, today announced Breach Defense<\/a>, a security operations (SecOps) platform designed to improve operational security effectiveness. An integral element of the new platform is the Threat Simulator<\/a> breach and attack simulation solution which enables network and security operations teams to measure the effectiveness of operational security by safely simulating the latest attacks and exploits on live networks.<\/p>\n

Security operations teams are faced with an increasingly complex network environment that is continuously under attack by a flood of cyber threats generated inside and outside of their organizations. According to a recent Keysight Security Operations Effectiveness<\/a><\/em> survey:<\/p>\n

– Good security tools don\u2019t always protect as expected:<\/strong> 50% of survey respondents stated they found their security solution was not working as expected after a breach had occurred.<\/p>\n

– Most organizations don\u2019t verify their security is working as it should: <\/strong>Only 35% of respondents have test-based evidence to prove their security products are configured and working correctly.<\/p>\n

– Most organizations recognize the value of security testing:<\/strong> 86% of respondents stated they would value a solution that finds and helps to remediate vulnerabilities in a company\u2019s security posture.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the best security products can’t keep you safe unless they are properly configured,\u201d said Doug Close, senior vice president of cybersecurity at IT solutions provider Sayers. \u201cBeing able to automatically simulate attacks, detect security gaps and receive detailed recommendations gives customers a powerful advantage both for bridging gaps and improving day-to-day security operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAn organization can be safe one day and vulnerable the next. Testing security capabilities at one point in time provides limited visibility to an organization\u2019s ongoing security posture,\u201d said Paula Musich, research director, security and risk management at\u00a0market research firm Enterprise Management Associates. \u201cAt its heart, security is both a people and processes issue. By testing defenses on a regular basis using attack simulation, security operations teams can stay on top of changes that can turn good security hygiene into an exploitable vulnerability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Threat Simulator Delivers Confidence that Security Tools are Protecting as Intended<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keysight\u2019s Threat Simulator solution provides enterprise security operations teams a method for testing security tools to determine their effectiveness in protecting the organization. It provides a continuous, automated security assessment of end-to-end production network security infrastructures, enabling organizations to quickly spot gaps and environment drift of security configurations, which is typically the result of someone in IT or a related group making a change without any malicious intent, while a patented recommendation engine provides clear remediation steps.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s network and security teams just don\u2019t know how effective their security solutions are on a continuous basis,\u201d said Scott Register, vice president, security solutions, Keysight Network Applications & Security Group (formerly Ixia Solutions Group). \u201cSecurity breaches aren\u2019t always caused by a lack of capable products \u2014 often they are due to misconfigurations or a lack of security skills. Probing for coverage gaps has never been an easy task on a live network. Threat Simulator helps security operations teams find those gaps and gain actionable insight into how to close those gaps and improve their security posture.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Breach Defense Suite — ThreatARMOR<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to Threat Simulator, Keysight\u2019s Breach Defense SecOps platform includes ThreatARMOR<\/a>, a threat intelligence gateway. Complementing an existing security infrastructure, ThreatARMOR reduces attack surface by blocking up to 80% of malicious traffic at the source\u2014decreasing the number of security information and event management (SIEM) alerts. ThreatARMOR can: block traffic from known bad IP addresses at line-rate speeds; block malicious IP addresses manually or automatically from SIEM tools; identify and stop infected internal devices from communicating with known botnet C&C servers; block traffic by geography; and block unused IP space \/ unassigned IP addresses and hijacked domains from a network.<\/p>\n
