- Data Retention and Logging: Captures network data and stores all or part of the data to large disk systems. For some applications data will be preprocessed on the fly, before the data is stored to disk.
- Intrusion Detection: Detects unwanted attempts to access, manipulate, and/or disable computer systems, through network attacks, e.g. crackers, viruses, Trojan horses and worms.
- Intrusion Prevention: Is in-line monitoring of network activities for malicious or unwanted behavior. Since the Intrusion Prevention Systems operate in-line, they can prevent network attacks by dropping malicious frames while still allowing all other traffic to pass.
Common for these applications is the need for Napatech Network Adapter features, such as:
- Line Speed Capture
- Frame Classification
- Programmable Filtering
