Network Security and Monitoring
RSA NetWitness® Network
RSA NetWitness Network provides real-time visibility into all your network traffic—on premises, in the cloud and across virtual infrastructure. It allows you to:
- Detect emerging, targeted and unknown threats as they traverse your network
- Monitor the timing and movement of attackers across your network
- Reconstruct entire network sessions to support forensic investigations
Network Security and RSA NetWitness Network
RSA NetWitness Network plays an essential role in network security and network monitoring. Since today’s advanced, targeted threats are designed to evade traditional, perimeter-based network security tools like firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems, network security monitoring tools like RSA NetWitness Network can help your organization rapidly detect these threats BEFORE they lead to a data breach or otherwise disrupt your business.
Unlike other network security monitoring tools, RSA NetWitness Network provides real-time visibility into all of your network traffic—east-west, north-south, in the cloud and across virtual infrastructure—eliminating blind spots. To make it easier for analysts to rapidly detect legitimate, high-risk threats in all of this network data, RSA NetWitness Network parses network data at capture time into sessionized metadata and enriches it with threat intelligence and contextual information about your business.

Evolution of SIEM: Why It’s Critical to Move Beyond Logs
The RSA NetWitness Platform evolved SIEM is the only threat detection and response platform that can correlate security data across logs, packets, endpoints and netflow.
Features
Patented Parsing and Indexing Technology
Dynamically parses and enriches network data at capture time, creating sessionized metadata that dramatically accelerates alerting and analysis.
Robust Forensics Capabilities
Combines deep inspection of hundreds of protocols with a powerful, integrated tool kit for forensic investigations.
Decryption Support
Encrypted traffic is no match for RSA NetWitness Network, which provides native decryption support and integrates with third parties to provide additional support for decryption.
Benefits
Alleviates Analysts’ Alert Fatigue
Enriches network data with threat intelligence and contextual information about your business so that your analysts can quickly identify high-priority threats and reduce false positives.
Eases Management of Network Data
Pervasive visibility facilitates administration and analysis of data across distributed and virtual environments, enabling rapid detection, investigation, reporting and management of all network data.
Trusted Technology
RSA NetWitness Network received the Common Criteria certification for product security and is certified for U.S. Department of Defense Information Network UC APL.
Comprehensive Network Monitoring
Monitors all data from any network, including virtual networks, as well as packets from public clouds such as AWS. Because it enriches packet data at capture time, RSA NetWitness Network provides the immediate, deep network visibility required to accelerate detection, investigation and forensics.
Simplifies Threat Detection and Investigation
Hunt for threats without ever having to look at a PCAP again. RSA NetWitness Network offers intuitive data visualizations and nodal diagrams—in addition to a complete set of automated detection, investigation and forensics tools—to transform every analyst into an experienced threat hunter.
“The RSA NetWitness Platform enables the experts in our cyber defense center to really understand the true nature, scope and impact of an incident so they can then take immediate, targeted action.”
RSA NetWitness Network is an integral part of the RSA NetWitness Platform evolved SIEM. In addition to RSA NetWitness Network, the RSA NetWitness Platform evolved SIEM consists of RSA NetWitness Logs, RSA NetWitness Endpoint, RSA NetWitness UEBA and RSA NetWitness Orchestrator. Together, these solutions deliver the industry’s most complete visibility across logs, network and endpoint data, helping to expose the full scope of attacks and make security analysts more efficient and effective through automation and advanced analytics.
