THE NEED FOR ACTIVE NETWORK FORENSICS
Neither small to large enterprises nor government institutions are immune to the threats that pervade today’s security landscape. Leakage of congressional documents, a half million credit card numbers hacked from a leading web host provider, and even a major security vendor falling victim to a website breach are just a few recent headlines that proclaim the costly network threats facing organizations of all types and sizes. Active network forensics makes all past and present network data instantly visible and allows perfect fidelity through replaying past traffic, enabling organizations to detect and understand the full source and scope of any security event so they can protect against further attacks.

In recent years security at America's airports has focused on such things as access control, dangerous cargo, screening, and other measures associated with activities near the airport terminal. Today there's a broader aspect of airport security that's gaining increased recognition, the perimeter around the airfield as well as airport buildings and other assets. Download our White Paper titled, "Airport Perimeter Security" written by Duwayne Anderson Chief Technologist at Fiber SenSys.
