Advantage, Network Metadata: How to Enhance Efficiency in Incident Investigations Without PCAP

From the outside, all packets look the same. For a longtime network security teams have relied on using packet captures (PCAPs) as the go-to approach for incident investigation. Yet as many security teams will tell you, PCAP can be slow, labor intensive and inefficient.
 Consider metadata as a viable alternative. Read the new technology brief and discover how to enhance investigation efficiency without using PCAP by leveraging the advantages of metadata capture Since the early days of networking, capturing direct copies
 of snippets of data from the flow of network traffic has been
 the go-to approach to collect data for incident investigation.
