You are counting on lots of security measures to keep your network safe. The truth is that these measures can still have secret passages that bad people can use to sneak around without being noticed. You can have things like firewalls and special software, on your computers to watch for problems and still not catch people moving around inside your network taking data slowly or doing weird things that are not supposed to happen because these things do not always look like the problems you are expecting.
This is a problem because bad people know about it and they use it to their advantage: they can hide in your network for a long time collect important files and take your data without setting off any alarms, which is what you would expect to happen when someone is doing something wrong.
This is not a problem with the tools we use it is a problem with being able to see what is going on. When you cannot see what your network is doing and how it is working you cannot figure out what problems to fix how to fix them.
The answer to this problem is network behavior monitoring.
Network behavior monitoring is a way to always watch your network and see what is happening. It looks at all the traffic on your network. Helps you find things that are not normal, like why someone is doing something and what they are trying to do with network behavior monitoring. NBM does not replace the controls you already have in place. Instead it helps them by showing you what is really going on with your protocols, ports, clouds and on-prem segments.This means you can find problems faster and respond to them with confidence when you use NBM. NBM is really good at helping you see what is happening with your protocols, ports, clouds and, on-prem segments.
