GigaStor™ Security Forensics

Use the Network Instruments® GigaStor to solve security problems. Because the GigaStor acts like a security camera it records every action occurring on the network. If a breach is suspected, the GigaStor compares the breach to thousands of network attacks and anomalies with “Snort style” IDS functionality. Once identified, the GigaStor provides drill-down analysis to determine the source and time of the occurrence.

Security Forensics benefits:

  • View security and access violations in context of all network activity
  • Validate and provide evidence for compliancy and security issues
  • Go back in time and find the source of zero-day violations
  • Break down the silos of various IT department factions (troubleshooting and security) by delivering data to both
  • Reconstruct network communications, files, web pages (including images), instant messaging texts, e-mails, and VoIP calls

Security Forensics is available with every GigaStor appliance.
