With new threats emerging every day, IT organizations need to frequently upgrade or introduce new cybersecurity tools and technologies. The problem is that it can be very difficult to set up realistic tests that show how technologies will perform underreal-world conditions.
To run a proof of concept on a single tool, security administrators can spend weeks rerouting traffic, changing firewall rules and reconfiguring servers and network devices. If they cut any corners or make any mistakes, it can skew the test results, with potentially disastrous consequences for security and network performance. Organizations can end up with tools that don’t scale to meet their needs or that can’t deliver intended feature benefits when network traffic spikes.
