Business Problem

A clear operational picture involves understanding traffic patterns, resulting from use of routers, servers, and applications. Without this understanding of the normal baseline, network security can be compromised and valuable network resources misused. 

Who is Affected

All companies, critical network infrastructures, carriers and governement agencies can be affected by a lack of situational awareness and can put their organizations at risk of a cyber attack or misuse of resources. 

Solution

Continuous monitoring and alerts that warn of baseline deviations through real time traffic intelligence helps operators maintain situational awareness. 

True situational awareness includes looking at network traffic from Layer 2 through Layer 7. Full packet capture will pick up relevant data through Layer 7, the application layer. Netflow will capture data but not at the applications layer. 

NarusInsight Solution for Cyber Protection, through its intelligent capture technology captures and through its logic layer, analyzes both packet and flow data. Through NarusInsight's patented analytics, operators are informed of baseline deviations. Other rules sets allow operators to look at traffic in diverse ways to determine if there is a DNS security risk, zero day attack, Trojan, worm, cross-site scripting or other browser attack.
