Network Packet Brokers

Go beyond “observability”

Take the right action faster.

“Seeing” what’s happening in your network isn’t enough. Vision network packet and brokers (NPBs) filter and send each monitoring tool the exact data it needs to analyze and detect threats so your team can respond faster. 

The cornerstone of a modern visibility fabric, Vision NPBs filter out extraneous data — duplicate packets, unwanted headers, and other info your tools don’t need to see — to optimize tool performance and add rich metadata to speed investigations.

Reliable data for fast resolution.

  • Find what matters faster
  • Make the right decisions
  • Reduce IT and security cycles
  • Extend the value of new and existing tools
  • Illuminate blind spots where attackers love to hide

“Do we need a packet broker?”

Yes, if you’d like better, faster monitoring and security operations:

  • Enable complete observability across every network and cloud
  • Aggregate and filter traffic from visibility TAPs or SPAN ports so you can avoid gnarly 1:1 connections between access points and analysis tools
  • Generate and add metadata
  • Load-balance delivery to multiple tools to boost utilization

Data drives ROI on tool investments. 

A Keysight Visibility platform ensures your monitoring and security operations run efficiently and scale to deliver maximum value from every tool investment – and in turn networks, applications, virtualization, automation, and compliance.  

“What about AI?”

Keysight leads the evolution of visibility with our network packet brokers. Applying AI earlier in the monitoring process—and at the network edge or cloud — speeds detection, adds predictive insight, and improves tool and cloud utilization.

Decrypt once. Analyze at will.

Offload processing-intensive SSL / TLS decryption to a Vision packet broker running SecureStack so you never miss a clue and don’t burden multiple security tools de-/re-encrypting data.
