In our daily lives, the internet occupies a large place, from the digital storage of our data to the fact that our communication takes place largely online, and most services have become completely online. In particular, this digitalization process, while providing great convenience for both individuals and organizations, also brings some risks. As a natural consequence of this situation, cyber-attacks are increasing. At this point, digital crimes come to the fore.
Digital crimes can be briefly defined as illegal activities using digital tools. Any kind of damage to systems can manifest itself in a wide range such as data theft, malware, DDOS.
Network forensics is a discipline that covers evidence collection, information acquisition, analysis and research processes after such digital crimes occur. Analyzing the traffic within the network and collecting evidence on how and by which method the attacks were carried out is just one of the important steps of this discipline. At this point, the phrase “The Network Doesn't Lie” is often used because the data passing through the network carries real-time and unalterable traces of the event. This data provides reliable information about when, how and by which IP address the attack was carried out. This way, threats can be controlled in a timely manner and network security can be ensured.
Key Features
Conduct Effective Investigations: With Network Forensics, you can detect various security incidents, improve your response processes and accurately assess the impact of each incident.
Recreate Attacks: You can recognize threats early by tracking suspicious activity before the attack, understand the attacker's methods by examining real-time data flow during the attack, and reveal the traces left on the system by detecting changes made after the attack.
Reduce MTTD/MTTR: To reduce detection and response time, you can speed up the process by using a single workspace that helps eliminate attacks and simplify investigations.
Replay Feature: You can review security incidents as they happen by replaying them on the timeline. With this feature, you can analyze the development process of attacks step by step and evaluate critical moments without overlooking them.
Why Network Forensics?
Manage Threat Data in One Place: Easily view specific metadata and activities on your network by creating custom dashboards.
Faster and More Effective Searches: Quickly make connections between alerts, flow data, and metadata to get the information you need instantly.
Advanced Threat Hunting: Detect anomalies and suspicious activity that existing security tools may miss.
In summary, network forensics is a powerful tool for understanding cyberattacks, minimizing their impact and ensuring network security of organizations with its in-depth analysis capabilities. By taking proactive measures against security threats, organizations can detect and prevent attacks in advance instead of only conducting post-incident investigations.
