Quotes from the Pros:
"The reality is that the networks are encrypted and threats are actually happening in those environments. We need to be able to detect threats inside of encrypted traffic. It's not really scalable to do inline decryption on everything. That's what the ETA solution was designed to do--[answer] how do we detect threats without decrypting traffic?" - Matt Robertson, Principal Technical Marketing Engineer, Cisco
"Every security architect I deal with is always saying, 'How do I turn something into an actionable event?'. That is what I really think ETA inside of Stealthwatch does...it allows us to turn all this data into actionable events." - Darrin Miller, Distinguished Technical Marketing Engineer, Cisco
Show Notes
How ETA works: 3 Major Components
1. Netflow Enhancements to carry additional markers to aid in malicious traffic detection
2. Cisco Stealthwatch Enterprise - Collector, aggregator, and analyzer of network telemetry (Netflow data)
3. Cloud-hosted analytics engine. Multi-layer machine learning engine that leverages the global risk map and correlates with your organization and how it interacts with those risks.
