Network Monitoring

In today’s corporate environment, protecting a company’s intellectual property and confidential information is more important than ever. Obtaining a complete and lossless record of your network’s traffic is the best way to deny rogue devices access to your network. With a network monitoring service you can monitor traffic for unsecured access points and lock them out. You can identify the context around common firewall alerts such as IDS and IPS. Recording the actual traffic that visited the web site, database, or other critical system through network monitoring will make it easier to collect evidence for forensics analysis and make it possible to prevent similar security breaches in the future.

A complete record of network traffic will simplify compliance with not only the government, but with self-imposed ‘e-discovery’ regulations. You can also demonstrate compliance for common mandates like HIPAA, SOX, and FISMA. ISPs, VoIP and Broadband suppliers can comply with Lawful intercept requests and deliver law enforcement agencies specific data as outlined in the warrant. The network’s performance can even see improvement after analyzing historic network traffic and identify poor performing network segments. This allows IT to indentify traffic patterns for ways to improve performance in a shorter time than ever.
