AWS re:Invent 2022 - Assuring and securing AWS migrations with NETSCOUT visibility (PRT207)

Summary

Ray Krug from NETSCOUT and Josh Dean from AWS discuss the integration of NETSCOUT's deep packet inspection technology with AWS services to assist in network and application troubleshooting, as well as advanced network detection and response during AWS migrations.
NETSCOUT's technology provides visibility without borders, offering insights into both performance and security aspects of cloud migrations.
The shared responsibility model of AWS security is explained, emphasizing the customer's role in securing their cloud environment.
NETSCOUT's patented Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) technology is highlighted for its ability to interpret packets at scale, providing metadata for performance and security metrics.
The presentation covers how NETSCOUT's solutions can be used pre-migration, during migration, and post-migration to ensure successful cloud adoption and continuous optimization.
NETSCOUT's integration with AWS services like VPC Traffic Mirroring, Gateway Load Balancer, and Security Hub is discussed, showcasing how these services can be leveraged for packet acquisition and security event management.
The talk concludes with an overview of NETSCOUT's offerings in the AWS Marketplace, their migration and modernization competency, and the availability of a NETSCOUT T-shirt promotion at their booth.

NETSCOUT's visibility solutions are designed to complement existing AWS security and performance tools, not replace them, providing a more comprehensive view of the environment.
The use of deep packet inspection at scale is a key differentiator for NETSCOUT, as it allows for real-time analysis and interpretation of network traffic, which is crucial for both performance management and security threat detection.
The shared responsibility model in cloud security underscores the importance of third-party solutions like NETSCOUT in helping customers secure their cloud environments.
NETSCOUT's ASI technology is versatile and can be applied to various IT and network problems, making it suitable for complex and distributed network environments.
The integration of NETSCOUT with AWS services like VPC Traffic Mirroring and Security Hub demonstrates the collaborative approach between AWS and its partners to enhance cloud service offerings.
The presentation emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and optimization post-migration, highlighting the dynamic nature of cloud environments and the need for ongoing vigilance in performance and security.
NETSCOUT's approach to exporting metadata for customer use in their own analytics and machine learning applications shows a trend towards customizable and flexible security solutions that can adapt to specific business needs.
