Computer Forensics/Data Capture

 

Computer Forensics/Data Capture Deployment Case
Computer forensics is a branch of forensic science pertaining to legal evidence found on computers and computer networks. Computer forensics are used in many applications, such as analyzing computer systems belonging to a defendant in a legal case, to recover data after a hardware or software failure or to analyze a computer system after a break-in to determine how the attack occurred.

Why do you need to use an access technology solution with your Computer Forensics/Data Capture tool?
Gaining access to 100% of network traffic is essential for successful forensics research. SPAN ports may not provide 100% of network traffic if they are over-subscribed or they may not be available for use when necessary. It may also be necessary to monitor multiple network segments simultaneously and aggregate the data to your forensics tools or to replicate the data to more than one network tool at the same time.

Network Critical solutions for connecting Computer Forensics/Data Capture
The problems associated with installing a computer forensics/data capture tool can all be solved by implementing a Network Critical access solution into your network infrastructure. Breakout TAPs provide easy single segment monitoring while Aggregating and Regenerating TAPs allow for the combination for different network segments as well as the ability to copy your network traffic to several monitoring tools at the same time.
