Narus Semantic Traffic Analysis

Captures detailed, protocol-specific data in addition to collecting standard data directly from the network using Narus Semantic Traffic AnalysisTM technology.

Extracts information directly off the wire Not a sniffer: session modeling and reconstruction Detailed visibility into user traffic Network transparent, nonintrusive
Vendor and protocol independent: IP standards based Highly tuned appliance: 300-500Kbps Network efficient: 95-99% data reduction Network transparent collection and semantic analysis of traffic
