As a vital part of our national and corporate welfare, new network security solutions must be rapidly evaluated and deployed to reduce the time-to-protection against cyber-threats, accelerate technology adoption, and lower cost of operations.

POCs Are Key to Defending Against New Cyber Attacks

The Proof of Concept (POC) phase is a key step in assessing how security tools will protect in real-world conditions, without necessarily deploying on production network environments. The InfoSec teams' priority is to quickly and confidently validate and deploy the right layers of protection in time and eliminate uncertainties when moving security tools from POC to production datacenter environments.

POCs Need to be Systematic and Error-Free

Deploying an in-line security appliance in a mission critical network is fraught with danger by Network Operations, who fear the risk of network outage. Part of the VSS Network Packet Broker System, the Protector Series allows POCs to be conducted in a more systematic and error-free way for the InfoSec team to verify proper security protection without network outage or degradation.

VSS Protector Series Improves Quality of POCs

The VSS Protector Series uses innovative technology to allow a more comprehensive and realistic POC to take place in a much shorter time - or even execute multiple POCs at the same time with no disruption and minimal network change control. The VSS Protector Series allows in-line security tools to be easily taken in and out of line with no re-wiring, no re-configuration, and no network downtime.


POC for One or More Security Solutions
Benefits of Optimizing POCs With the VSS Protector Series
  • Safely validate multiple in-line security tools using live traffic

  • Reduce time by eliminating patching and re-patching requirements

  • Obtain 100% network visibility of the traffic data

  • Selectively aggregate and groom traffic going to security tools

  • Send only actionable, qualified traffic to each security tool
