Seek Observability in Selecting Network Security Analytics Solutions by David Monahan Awake Security

Packets are the lifeblood of the network and most daily computer operations. In virtually every transaction and operation, we leave a network footprint. Only in the case of a local system login accessing applications and data that are locally resident on that system do we not leave a network trace. If we use the Internet, log in via a domain or realm, access a SaaS or other cloud services, or use network-attached storage, we leave a network trace. Because the network is the tie that binds business, leveraging network-focused security analytics is a critical part of security monitoring and response for all connected businesses.
