Case Study: World's Largest Network Service Provider achieves data leak prevention and 30% fewer security alerts with Keysight ThreatARMOR

Service Provider Secures Network, Blocks Threats, and Boosts Efficiency

World’s Largest Network Service Provider faced growing threats to network reliability and data confidentiality and needed to boost security and tool efficiency without significant appliance upgrades. Working with Keysight, the provider evaluated Ixia solutions including the ThreatARMOR appliance (with the Application and Threat Intelligence subscription) and planned Vision ONE packet brokers with the ATIP processor to stop known malicious traffic, block geolocated threats, and reduce inspection load on existing inline devices.

Keysight deployed ThreatARMOR first in passive mode and within hours it flagged and helped stop an outbound data leakage from a supposedly decommissioned server, proving immediate value and low false-positive risk via detailed “rap sheets.” With blocking enabled and later ATIP-based filtering, the customer reduced security alerts by up to 30%, expects a 15–30% cut in traffic sent to inline appliances, avoided near-term device upgrades, and benefited from a 15-minute plug-and-play deployment that streamlined ongoing threat intelligence updates.
