How Do You Know if You are Being Hacked?
Fred Phillips
Thinking your network is secure and knowing your network is secure are not the same things . Knowing
requires onging assessment of your monitoring techniques, whereas thinking is the belief that the last
security patch was good enough to hold it together . Does thinking mean your network is safe? No, it just
means you have not detected the latest hack against it . In this lecture / demo we’ll examine some of
the common network attacks and how intelligent your NetScout products are at recognizing them . The
techniques we’ll cover will get you thinking about how well you know your network, and the monitoring
practices you can put in place to make it more secure .
