What is the value of continuous deep packet capture and active network forensics?
Today, network analysis tools are plentiful, but all rely on a sampling of data. You either analyze a sampling of data and hope to find the root cause of a problem, or you have to know what to look for while you are analyzing the active traffic. Too often, you don’t know what to look for until after the traffic has already passed through your network. Having a complete record of your network traffic allows you to perform filtering, network analysis and forensics to uncover the root cause of a problem. Network forensics gives you a complete record of your network traffic and enables your network analysis and forensics tools to deliver an accurate report, not a guess derived from a mere sampling of data.
