Solving Critical Network Security Problems

I wanted to try something fun for our new joint solution with Corelight. We all know joint solutions aren't the most exciting to read, right? But in our defense, we need them for a technology alliance to move forward. We need them to provide insight into the relationships; how we’re going to work together in a data center and what’s the value proposition. To liven things up Garland Technology decided to create a short, easy to digest, and entertaining video explaining what challenges we solve together. 


Corelight
and Garland Technology address three different use cases in our recent joint solution brief. A simple perimeter deployment using a Garland Copper Network TAP and  Corelight AP 200 Sensor, a colocation deployment that scales multi-network environments, and a deployment for public cloud. 


Simple Perimeter Deployment


For network security monitoring and DNS visibility, the perimeter deployment gives a fast and affordable way to capture DNS traffic in the first use case. Garland Technology’s Copper TAP provides complete network visibility by passing and capturing all live wire data to active, inline security devices. Corelight’s AP 200 Sensor then transforms the captured traffic into protocol comprehensive logs.

Colocation Deployment


In the second use case, managing remote sensors and inline devices is made easy with the Corelight and Garland multi-network deployment. The scalable design allows 100% network visibility with Garland’s SelectTAP Fiber Modular Chassis tapping multiple links, sending traffic through the PacketMAX Advanced Aggregator for aggregation and deduplication. The traffic is then transmitted to the Corelight sensors.

Deployment in the Public Cloud


In the third and final use case, traffic capture takes place in a public cloud environment via a Nubeva Prism. The traffic is transmitted to Garland and then streamed to a Corelight Sensor.

Together, Corelight and Garland Technology solve critical problems for security teams. They allow visibility to the network perimeter, providing a fast and affordable way to capture DNS traffic for comprehensive insights into malicious DNS activity.
