Many companies and organizations rely heavily on digital assets that must be protected from unauthorized access or dispersion. The costs of data leakage are widely known and include not only loss of value, intellectual property and customers, but also government sanctions and fines for noncompliance to data privacy regulations.

A network monitoring service offers the best chance to capture specific network traffic to verify that only authorized employees are accessing servers or other important systems. When the source of data leaks are identified quickly, it is much easier to stem the loss of data. A complete historical record ensures that every action taken on your network is recorded and stored so you can replay events to watch how network breaches, slow hacks, and network slowdowns occur. This ability to see what is being viewed, who viewed it, and when it was accessed provides business owners with invaluable protection.

In today’s 10Gb environment, polling or sampling strategies are simply too incomplete for Network monitoring. Capturing 100% of your network’s traffic allows business owners to be more effective at pinpointing vulnerable portions of their network. With complete evidentiary proof of policy abuse it is also much easier to enforce corporate policies because you know who accessed what information.
