“The flexibility offered by Network Forensics is that you can actually put the collector at a specific point in your network and we can pick up locations and provide tap points and give orders to tap the particular branch to detect the problem. Then the visualizer goes and analyses what was tapped. Hence it is a visualizer-collector model,” he explains.

“The collector collects the data on the tap points. The visualizer visualizes the data and gives a view on what has to be reconstructed. The visualizer can be installed anywhere in the world. It is based on an IP and network which becomes very effective for the CIOs,” he adds. “Here, the collector part of it will be the gateway and visualizer will run separate as a part of the enterprise model.”

Nair says that Network Forensics is a cost-effective tool. “It can be hosted for a period of time where it collects the data and helps enterprises in understanding the problem by giving the right kind of service. The same can be adopted on a permanent basis or on a yearly basis.”

Currently, Network Forensics is being tested in the beta phase in some companies. The product will be released very shortly.
