See Every Packet, Understand Every Move.

Uncover hidden attack paths. Reconstruct every session. Respond with evidence.

The Challenge

Network Blind Spots Let Attackers Hide in Plain Sight.

Modern threats move laterally, live off the land, and blend with legitimate traffic. Without deep network forensics, security teams see fragments instead of the full story, leading to longer dwell times, incomplete investigations, and repeated breaches.

Security teams struggle with:

75%

Reduction in incident response time reported by organizations using comprehensive network forensics.

The Solution

NetWitness Approach to Network Forensics

NetWitness delivers forensic-grade network visibility with full packet capture, deep session reconstruction and unified analytics, enabling rapid detection, investigation and response across hybrid environments.

Comprehensive Packet Capture & Metadata

Capture rich network data at scale while extracting detailed metadata without performance impact. Supports full packet capture for critical segments, enabling complete visibility into east-west, north-south and cloud traffic.

Advanced Session Reconstruction

Rebuild full attacker sessions (including files, commands, and communications) for forensic replay. Analyze protocols, behaviors and anomalies in context.

Behavioral & Threat Intelligence-Driven Analysis

Combine network forensics with behavioral analytics, machine learning, and threat intelligence to surface hidden threats like C2 communications, data exfiltration and living-off-the-land tactics.

Seamless Investigation & Pivoting

Pivot instantly across network, endpoint, log and cloud data on a single platform. Timeline views, correlation and historical search accelerate root cause analysis and scope assessment.

Evidence-Grade Compliance & Response

Maintain chain of custody for investigations. Generate detailed reports for audits, legal proceedings and post-incident remediation.
