NetFort LANGuardian is software that enables visibility and analysis of your network traffic. Using advanced deep packet inspection techniques, LANGuardian gives you a unique level of visibility into everything that's happening on your network, including user activity, file and database monitoring, intrusion detection, bandwidth usage, and Internet access.
Here are some examples of the details LANGuardian can extract from network traffic:
- Actual web pages accessed
- Traffic volumes
- Files read and deleted
- Mail header fields
- Security events
- Database queries
LANGuardian integrates with Windows and Active Directory, so you get reports that contain real user names instead of IP addresses. And because it works by analysing network traffic, there are no clients or agents to install, and there is no performance impact on the network.
LANGuardian creates a database of historical traffic data that you can use for advanced network troubleshooting and to meet your auditing and compliance requirements. It gathers all its information from the raw traffic or flow data in your network – it requires no custom hardware, there are no clients or agents to install, and there is no impact on network performance.
LANGuardian can also be closely integrated with SolarWinds Orion extending the "single pane of glass" to view network performance and security issues.
