Investigator

Investigator is based upon more than 10 years of development and deployment experience in some of the most demanding and complex customer environments.
NetWitness® Investigator is the award-winning interactive threat analysis application of the NetWitness enterprise network monitoring platform. Investigator provides security operations staff, auditors, and fraud and forensics investigators the power to perform unprecedented free-form contextual analysis of raw network data captured and reconstructed by the NetWitness enterprise security platform.
With its groundbreaking user interface and unprecedented analytics, Investigator lets you see your network traffic in a new way. Unlike packet analysis products products which display network traffic in the context of confusing network nomenclature, Investigator uses a lexicon of nouns, verbs and adjectives – characteristics of the actual application and logic layer protocols parsed by NetWitness during session reconstruction.
Both novice and expert users can use Investigator to pivot terabytes of network traffic easily to dive deeply into the context and content of network sessions in real-time -- making threat analysis that once took days, take only minutes. It is this intersection of network metrics, rich application flow, and content information that differentiates NetWitness® products from any other capability on the market today.
In addition to the rich data Investigator receives from the NetWitness infrastructure, Investigator Enterprise can locally capture live traffic and process packet files from virtually any existing network collection device for quick and easy analysis. And by integrating NetWitness Investigator Enterprise with NetWitness® Live, you also have real-time fusion with multi-source threat intelligence.
