Cisco Security and NetQuest
How NetQuest and Cisco Security work together
NetQuest provides a high-scale, high-capacity 100G Network Flow Sensor for Cisco Secure Network Analytics that delivers always-on network traffic intelligence and definitive evidence to proactively identify, investigate, and respond to network security issues.
NetQuest OMX is a specialized FPGA-based appliance purpose-built to deliver multi-terabit-scale, wire-speed advanced packet processing services and metadata creation for high-performance security and monitoring environments. Its software-defined architecture enables feature flexibility with multiple operational modes enabled on the same hardware across high-density 10G, 40G, 100G and 400G network links.
Monitoring solutions from NetQuest are deployment-proven across thousands of network segments in enterprise, carrier, government, and defense agency networks across the globe, empowering security operations and threat intelligence teams with high-scale visibility and actionable traffic intelligence.
Product Integrations
Secure Network Analytics: The NetQuest 100G Flow Sensor seamlessly integrates into the Cisco Secure Network Analytics (Stealthwatch) architecture enabling cost-effective, high-scale network visibility that provides a complete and accurate record of network activity. The Flow Sensor can be deployed alongside Cisco 10G and 40G Flow Sensors enabling security teams to extend Cisco Secure Network Analytics visibility end-to-end with consistent, granular, and accurate metrics for all network segments.
The NetQuest Flow Sensor is ideal for network segments where the switching and routing infrastructure can’t generate NetFlow or when it is desirable to off-load intensive NetFlow processing impacts from performance-sensitive routers and switches. To meet diverse monitoring requirements, optional advanced services, such as wire-speed packet-flow optimization and delivery for packet-based tools, and application-level and encrypted metadata are available from the same sensor – enabling the security team to leverage sensor investments, eliminate redundant tools and accelerate ROI.
Together, the NetQuest 100G Flow Sensor and Cisco Secure Network Analytics empowers the security team to extend security surveillance across more of the network for uncompromised network intelligence and definitive evidence that accelerates threat hunting activities and speeds identifying, investigating, and responding to network security issues.
