ADVANCED TRAFFIC INTELLIGENCE
SSL/TLS Decryption, Data Masking, Packet Deduplication
Modern network monitoring and analytics do not only rely on packets. Security and NPM solutions need a complete visibility of the flow context. The pre-treatment layer must understand this context to offer the best-in-class level of traffic optimization.
The new generation of X3-Series Network Packet Brokers enables full visibility over packets and flows, as well as complex advanced processing for extended visibility. The X3-Series are the most versatile Network Packet Brokers, with both simple and very advanced features.

X3-Series Highlights
SSL/TLS Decryption
The X3-Series supports in-line and out-of-band SSL/TLS traffic decryption. In in-line mode, the X3-Series decrypts and re-encrypts traffic. This allows connected tools to see decrypted data before it is re-encrypted and sent back into the network. Out-of-band decryption means the X3-Series passively decrypts a mirrored or tapped copy of the traffic.
Data Masking
Decrypted traffic can expose confidential data to network engineers and analysts, resulting in security or privacy implications. The X3-Series can obfuscate sensitive data to comply with regulations and prevent data leakages. Data masking enables complete visibility into decrypted data without the risk of exposing sensitive data.
With TAPs and mirror ports at multiple points inside the network, the same network data may be captured multiple times, causing duplicate packets inside the monitoring system.
Sending unnecessary duplicate packets to analysis and security tools significantly impacts their performance. The X3-Series can dynamically discard duplicated packets before they are sent out.
Thanks to the large time window for packet comparison and extensive configurability of the deduplication feature, the X3-Series can mitigate multiple sources of duplicate packets, like network design flaws or switch SPAN ports.
NetFlow is an efficient protocol for providing information about network traffic and utilization to analysis tools. X3-Series network packet brokers can act as flow exporters, processing and sending flow data to flow collectors.
Implementing NetFlow on devices like routers and switches can impact their performance. Instead, setting up X3-Series packet brokers as flow exporters allows such devices to focus their processing power on their primary functions.
