When Its New 100Gb Network Didn’t Support NetFlow, Clemson Took Action
“To protect the university from cyberthreats, we need to know our network — and Gigamon — provides the visibility we need to know what’s traversing our network. Our board of directors and executive staff are prioritizing security, and they understand how challenging it is for my team to do our jobs without adequate network visibility.”
Challenges
- After a 100Gb speed upgrade, Clemson University needed an alternative approach to generating NetFlow data for its security tools when the new networking equipment no longer supported the format.
Benefits
- Maintain security after 100Gb network upgrade
- Increase NetFlow from 30,000 flows/second to 70,000 flows/second
- Optimize existing security stack
- Increase visibility by over 75 percent
- Reduce false positives by over 60 percent
