Niksun Netdetector Security

NetDetector is a non-intrusive network security monitoring product that (when deployed as part of your data communications infrastructure) inspects traffic flows, detects the activities of intruders, sets alarms, makes continuous copies of data from the network, and analyzes every packet in the network in real-time at production network traffic rates. NetDetector also allows for the easy replay of all network activity at the application layer, e.g., Web activity and for easy analysis by security or law enforcement agencies.

NetDetector is a software module built on NIKSUN’s core high performance data capture, analysis and storage platform. The software module recognizes anomalous network activity that may be the result of illegal network intrusion. Upon the identification of such activity it begins to archive traffic data and alert the system administrator via console, SNMP alarms, e-mail, pager, etc. Optionally, it can stream archived data to a designated host over a high-speed data link.
