1. IXIA + FIREEYE SECURITY BATTLECARD
SCALABLE HIGH AVAILABILITY PROTECTION FROM CYBER ATTACKS
Leverage the power of FireEye for protecting against cyber attacks by providing it all the data it needs
Scale to increase inspection bandwidth and protect networks of any size
Deploy FireEye In-line with high availability
WHY FIREEYE?
FireEye provides threat protection across the all stages of a ‘kill chain’ to identify more zero-day attacks
FireEye’s unique approach detects malware and then monitors its source in their MVX environment so the threat can be removed completely once it is identified
FireEye needs full access to packet data to identify & stop malware

WHY COMBINE IXIA & FIREEYE?
FireEye NX, FX, PX and EX appliances require access to 100% packet data for inspection
Missed packets mean missed events within the kill chain cycle for incomplete analysis
Ixia provides FireEye the full packet visibility needed to maximize your security protection

DEPLOYMENT CHALLENGES
Reliably deploying tools in-line – without adding a single point of failure
Speed mismatches – monitoring 10G/40G/100G networks with 1G/10G tools
Too many locations in network to secure – than ports are available on your security tools
Too many tools and not enough Tap/SPAN ports - to connect all your different tools
Oversubscribing security tools - with data they do not need to see
Supports both Active Intercept deployments (in-line) and Passive intercept deployments (out of band)

JOINT VALUE PROPOSITION
Maximize real-time threat protection without sacrificing network performance
Boost IT productivity - Ixia’s GUI allows teams to work 5x faster than CLI based alternative
Maximize existing investments by getting FE the data it needs to see
Improve network uptime and availability by 5x or better
Add additional NX appliances with load balancing
Scale to higher bandwidth inspection
Expand FireEye
security footprint to include FX, EX and PX appliances
Use the packet broker to add other monitoring tools, like NPM, APM or Packet Capture

2. THE IXIA and FIREEYE ADVANTAGE
Elevator Pitch
FireEye’sThreat Prevention Platform provides real-time, dynamic threat protection across the different stages of an attack life cycle. To do this, FireEye appliances need access to network packet data to analyze.
Ixia complements FireEye by providing the full packet visibility it needs to protect your network. Ixia maximizes the value of your FireEye investment, provides scalability to secure networks of any size, and provides fail safe inline deployments.
Target Market & Purchase Triggers
New customers who are evaluating FireEye
Customers who are upgrading their networks to higher speeds or expanding their FireEye deployment
Security teams and network architects
Qualifying Questions
Are you upgrading links or data centers to 10G speeds or higher? How do you plan to monitor these higher speed environments?
Do your existing inline monitoring and security tools represent single points of failure?
How do you stop malware hidden within SSL encryption from gaining access to your network?
Does network traffic continue to flow when you upgrade or replace inline tools?
Do you have 100% visibility across your network?
Key Ixia Differentiators
Lossless packet delivery to FireEye so security threats are never missed
Load balance up to eight FireEye appliances to monitor 40G and beyond
External bypass switches eliminates single point of failure to increase resiliency
Full High Availability provides network redundancy at the highest level
Easy to deploy - FireEye in-line deployment is integrated into Ixia GUI
Channel Partner Value
FireEye requires packet level visibility – Ixia does it best and is a proven FireEye partner. If it does not get the needed packets security events will be missed.
Combined solution is easier to sell – customers demand a scalable solution
Boost initial deal size by 20% - by including visibility products, approx. $50K-$300K
Increase pull-through business – Combining Ixia & FireEye drives more revenue on your line card
Bundling Ixia makes it easier to sell follow-on business– Ixia’s connectivity makes it easy to add more tools (security, APM, etc.) in the future
Subscription model – for ongoing revenue
Speed sales cycle - by showing & proving the value with on-line Ixia demos
