Network Forensics: HR and Policy Compliance    

Customer Pain Point

You suspect that an employee is violating a company policy. Perhaps this person is harassing other employees on IM or leaking information to competitors through Webmail. Perhaps the person is accessing porn sites or running a file-sharing service on a company server. Or perhaps the person is sharing confidential customer information in violation of industry standards such as Gramm-Leach-Bliley or HIPAA.

  Results

  • Hours or even days of network traffic collected by a single system and stored in a common, searchable format.
  • Collect data from a specific user or server, or collect all data on a network segment for future inspection.
  • A single graphical interface provides access to terabytes of data.
  • Collect comprehensive data—anything that cross the network, whether email, IM, VoIP, FTP, HTML, or some other application or protocol.
  • High-level analysis tools eliminate the need for brute-force analysis from disparate data sources.

How Network Forensics Can Help Human Resource Compliance

Something wrong is happening on your network. Call it human nature or simply a few bad apples, but unless your organization is miraculously different from all others, someone is leaking information, someone else is dabbling in porn, and someone else is probably doing a handsome business on eBay—on one of your servers.

Your organization has policies about this—and your industry may have regulations that pertain, as well. You need to ensure these policies are complied with—or you need to collect evidence to take action when they’re not.

When you suspect something is wrong, do you have the means to conduct an investigation? How do you collect evidence—digital evidence—when there are so many channels of communication (email, Web mail, IM, etc.), and so many places to look on your network?

Time for network forensics.
