Today’s organizations are under constant attack from a variety of cyber threats. To defend against these threats, organizations need to understand the weaknesses in their networks that can be exploited. In this article, we will discuss how to evaluate the vulnerability of network traffic using joint security and routing analysis.
In order to properly secure a network, admins must understand both the structure of the network as well as the types of traffic flowing through it. By understanding both, admins can more effectively secure their networks against attackers.
A joint security and routing analysis can help admins identify vulnerabilities in their network traffic. This type of analysis looks at both the structure of the network and the types of traffic flowing through it. By understanding both, admins can more effectively secure their networks against attackers.
There are a few different ways to perform a joint security and routing analysis. One way is to use a tool that combines security and routing data, such as NetFlow Analyzer by SolarWinds®. This tool can help you analyze your network traffic and identify any potential vulnerabilities.
Another way to perform a joint security and routing analysis is to use two separate tools, one for security and one for routing. This approach can be more time-consuming, but it may be necessary if you don’t have access to a tool that combines both data sets.
Once you have your data, you need to start looking for patterns that could indicate a vulnerability. Some common patterns to look for include:
-Unusual port usage: attacker may be trying to access sensitive data or services on non-standard ports
-Anomalous communication: attacker may be communicating with known malicious IP addresses or domains
-Data exfiltration: attacker may be trying to steal sensitive data from your network
If you see any of these patterns in your data, it’s important to investigate further. You may need to take additional steps to secure your network against these types of attacks.
