Riverbed Security Solution (Flowtraq)

FlowTraq is a network security and forensic tool that accelerates incident triage and detects anomalies that are typical of hacker behavior. FlowTraq provides network security analytics based on the ubiquity of NetFlow. Security analysts can detect a complete range of network anomalies, including simple traffic threshold alerts, deviations from baselines, and DDoS events. FlowTraq helps customers:

• Recognize DDoS and brute force password attacks in real time.
• Defend the network from malicious botnets.
• Protect sensitive information from outside intruders.
• Improve forensics recall with full-fidelity NetFlow data.

The solution powers the Riverbed NetProfiler Advanced Security Module, designed to transform network data into security intelligence, providing visibility and forensics for broad threat detection, investigation, and mitigation. By capturing and storing all network flow and packet data across your enterprise, it delivers insights to detect and investigate advanced persistent threats that bypass typical preventative measures, as well as those that originate inside the network.
