Keysight Technologies has unveiled its latest advancement in cybersecurity: the AI Insight Broker, an enhanced Network Packet Broker (NPB) designed to bolster security operations through artificial intelligence (AI).
As organisations grapple with the complexities of cyber threats, rapid threat detection and incident response are paramount. The AI Insight Broker aims to empower enterprise IT and security operations (SecOps) teams by integrating AI and machine learning (ML) capabilities into their security frameworks. This integration allows for more effective monitoring and troubleshooting of performance issues, significantly enhancing the ability to detect and mitigate cyber threats.
The AI Insight Broker operates both at the network edge and within data centres, offering significant benefits in terms of storage and cost efficiency. By running AI-driven performance and security monitoring software, it provides real-time enrichment of network and cloud data, enabling organisations to achieve critical insights from hyper-scale data lakes. This capability not only optimises data processing volumes but also accelerates analytics, essential for timely decision-making in the face of potential threats.
One standout feature of the AI Insight Broker is its ability to support Keysight’s newly developed AI Stack. This stack enhances security analysis through anomaly detection, dynamic application signature identification, and predictive threat analysis. By applying AI earlier in the monitoring process, organisations can troubleshoot performance issues proactively, thereby reducing the risk of cyber incidents.
Moreover, the system is designed with scalability in mind. CISOs can configure the AI Insight Broker to seamlessly integrate with on-demand activation of the AI Stack and partner applications, allowing for tailored visibility and monitoring capabilities that meet specific organisational needs.
In addition to improving security posture, the AI Insight Broker offers substantial cost savings. By leveraging AI for data analysis and volume reduction, organisations can significantly decrease their cloud service expenses. This reduction leads to lower computing requirements, allowing CISOs to allocate resources more effectively while maintaining robust security measures.
As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, the introduction of AI-driven solutions like Keysight’s AI Insight Broker marks a pivotal moment for CISOs. With enhanced visibility, accelerated analytics, and cost savings, this innovative approach not only addresses current security challenges but also positions organisations to adapt to future threats effectively. For CISOs, embracing such advancements is crucial in maintaining a resilient cybersecurity framework.
