WHITE PAPER: NETWORK FORENSICS: HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR DIGITAL INVESTIGATION

You need to be able to respond to current network attacks as well as to prevent future attacks. Three basic elements to a classic network forensics solution aid your ability: Data capture; Data discovery; and Data analysis.

As attackers move from splash to stealth, today's forensic analysis solutions should include a fourth basic element - Data record. Learn how augmenting the three basic elements with a solution such as the WildPackets Omnipliance Network Recorder - extends your ability to capture data and reduces the time to determine how an attack occurred. This paper covers three phases of digital investigation: separating network data, performing packet drill-down, and enumerating the data. Download today.
