Overview

Security breaches resulting in the loss of sensitive confidential information are a regular occurrence as organizations struggle to compete with today's sophisticated attackers. The question today is not whether your network will be breached... but when. The need to respond to advanced threats quickly has never been greater. To address this problem, organizations need end-to-end, holistic security that addresses the entire attack continuum - before, during, and after an attack.

Security professionals can speed incident response in several ways. There are two main technologies that you can choose from to gain greater insight into your network activity - flow analysis and packet analysis. Both can help you troubleshoot security and network incidents and find out what is happening on a network. But oftentimes one is sacrificed for the other, usually because of budget concerns or a lack of resources.

Join this webinar to learn:

• More about each of these technologies and how they each approach forensic investigations
• How a layered approached to security can provide a much more holistic view of network activity
• How flow and packet analysis each can help provide context and insight to help facilitate incident response
