Gartner Highlights Narus in Network Forensics Report
NarusInsight’s Unique Real-Time Traffic Intelligence Capabilities Increase its Value as Network Forensics Solution
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- May 10, 2010 —Narus, Inc., the leader in real-time traffic intelligence for protecting governments, service providers and enterprises against cyber threats and the risks of doing business in cyber space, today announced it has been included in Gartner’s “Network Forensics Market” research note. Written by noted security analysts John Pescatore and Lawrence Orans, the report defines the growing network forensics market, outlines the current players and provides key criteria for evaluating network forensics products. Narus, because of its NarusInsight Solution for Cyber Protection, was cited as a key player in the industry. The NarusInsight platform is more than just forensics: The multifunctional solution sets itself apart from competitors with its real-time capabilities, an ability to provide a three-dimensional view of the traffic in space and time, and an ability to put captured data in context
Specifically, the report emphasized the importance of support for full packet capture and storage, reconstruction and replay of flows and events, analysis tools, and reporting capabilities – all of which are found in NarusInsight, with the unique capability of scalable real-time performance. Based on real-time traffic intelligence and analytics technologies, NarusInsight spans the breadth of functionality and features associated with siloed solutions, and combines those capabilities with the ability to correlate it all in real time. This unique competency helps put captured data in context.
“Indeed, Gartner’s Network Forensics Market report provides a critical step in beginning to define the network forensics market, and we are excited to be recognized as one of a handful of companies in this up-and-coming segment of the cyber industry,” said Greg Oslan, president and CEO, Narus. “We’re pleased to be recognized as a key player in the cyber marketplace. Network forensics is a key component of a cyber solution and one that we are proud to play a role in. It is part of the total cyber solution, which might include deep packet inspection, security event management, visualization, storage, firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems and much more. Without real-time capabilities to put traffic in context across the network at scale, only a part of the problem is addressed. Narus’ solution provides the real-time traffic intelligence to fill the void.”
