The company's goal is to ensure smooth service delivery and spend less time in infrastructure management and more in threat investigation.
The Challenge
Mnemonic, a Norway-based company, provides 24/7 monitoring services from European based SOCs staffed with incident response teams. At the core of the Mnemonic’s solution is their proprietary platform, Argus. Argus is used to deliver its Managed Defense service that is designed to rapidly detect, analyze and respond to security threats on a large scale. Argus provides the advanced threat prevention ecosystem needed to see the big threat picture in real-time and protect customers against advanced persistent threats, zero days and targeted attacks. Any managed security service depends on on-going view of the customer’s network and the efficient functioning on the underlying security monitoring infrastructure. Employee time must be also spent efficiently, ideally mostly focused on higher-value activities such as threat investigation and mitigation, rather than infrastructure management. Mnemonic serves large enterprises and the SMB market. For enterprises with large and complex networks, ensuring consistent and enterprise-wide packet flow visibility is a challenge.
The Solution
Mnemonic's approach integrates packet flow management at the onset of the customer engagement. This insures deep visibility into the customer’s network, enhancing both customer’s network security and Mnemonic’s value proposition. The Mnemonic team evaluated several network monitoring switches, and opted for the NETSCOUT nGenius Packet Flow Switch (PFS) series, specifically nGenius 2204 packet flow switch or nGenius 4204 packet flow switch models, depending on customer requirement. The appliances are a part of the infrastructure that the company recommends for on-site deployment, alongside passive security devices, such as IDS (intrusion detection system) and SEIM (security event and incident management). The appliances aggregate traffic from multiple network segments and forwards copies of the traffic to the security devices for inspection. nGenuis PFS performs loadbalancing, filtering and speed conversion, delivering the right packet flows, at the right time and in the form that the security devices require.

Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
