NetWitness NextGen is designed for enterprises to address concurrent problems of insider threat management, data leakage protection, compliance verification, network e-discovery, and designer malware and zero-day detection. Originally developed for the US Intelligence Community, NetWitness has evolved to provide enterprises with breakthrough methods of network content analysis and risk verification and determination. In the USA, NextGen network security products are in use by the largest government agencies, the top US banks, and many large international public sector and private organisations, and has been proven to reduce the time to problem identification and resolution, and to lower the overall cost, risk and business impact of security threats.
Based upon a dedicated and extensible full packet capture and session analysis infrastructure, NextGen performs both rules-based and interactive session analysis across the entire protocol stack, up to the application layer.
