NextGen Infrastructure

Know Everything. Answer Anything. Move into the Next Generation of Network Security Monitoring.
NetWitness NextGen is the most comprehensive network security monitoring platform ever developed. It is the industry's first enterprise security monitoring platform that records everything on the network, re-using it multiple times to answer some of the most challenging questions facing organizations today: insider threats, data leakage, zero-day and targeted malware, I/T asset misuse, network anomalies, compliance, and network e-discovery.
The Historical Response
Typical security investments to date have focused on creating islands or layers of protection by installing point solutions that detect a specific problem, issue or threat. Your adversaries don’t think about security as a set of “issues” for which there are multiple answers – they think about how to use the network to get to your data. An effective approach requires organizations to stop deploying point solutions that create protection gaps and overlaps, and start thinking about security as a single requirement.
The Correct Solution – NetWitness NextGen™
Similar to real world adversaries, NetWitness NextGen views security problems as interrelated and multidimensional, and takes a “record once, reuse many times” approach to network monitoring by solving disparate business problems using a singular, core enterprise security platform and extensible application framework. With over ten years of development invested in the patented technology, and proven experience with some of the most demanding customers across all market sectors, the NetWitness NextGen platform offers a powerful application framework, a distributed infrastructure, and real-time data fusion of global threat intelligence that scales to meet any requirement.
