When choosing NTA solutions, look for features that enhance visibility, accuracy, and security. Consider:
DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) capabilities
Real-time analytics and alerts
Scalability options
Integration with existing systems
User-friendly reporting tools
DPI capabilities allow for granular insights into data flows, helping to identify threats hidden within encrypted traffic. Real-time analytics and alerts are critical for detecting anomalies quickly, ensuring rapid incident response. As networks grow, scalability is essential to handle increased data without compromising performance or security.
Integration with existing systems streamlines workflows, minimizing disruptions and maximizing tool effectiveness. This ensures the NTA solution works harmoniously with other security measures in place. User-friendly reporting tools enable easier interpretation of complex data, helping teams make informed decisions swiftly. These aspects together form the backbone of an effective NTA solution, balancing advanced technical features with operational needs for comprehensive protection.

Modern Security Operations teams have access to vast amounts of data, but this has not translated into greater effectiveness. The goal of NTA is to not only eliminate blind spots with unprecedented visibility, but to also cut through the noise of alerts with high-fidelity behavioral analytics.
In addition, it should dramatically reduces the time required to take action, from days to seconds, through automated investigations. To achieve these goals, NTA takes advantage of new machine learning and network traffic analytics technology. At its core, NTA which should be powered by an open, programmable, and extensible real-time streaming analytics platform and cloud-based behavioral analytics for full layer-7 visibility.
NTA shave Analytics and Investigation platform for the enterprise.
NTA real-time analytics and machine learning to every network transaction to cut through the noise and deliver concrete answers
Much like SIEM, NTA turned logs into operational insights, NTA turns network data into real-time situational intelligence
NTA technology is often used by Security and IT Ops teams to support key initiatives like Security, App Service Delivery, and IT Modernization

It depends what your environment is. We have very good experiences with two solutions. When you're using Cisco Networking, their Stealthwatch solution (also part of their EA, a full NBA/ADS* solution) does a very good job and gets more and more integrated in their Networking, Security and Admission Control solutions. When you are looking for a less expensive solution, we have very good experiences with Flowmon, a spin off from the University of Brno (Tsjech Republic) and a very mature NBA/ADS* solution as well. In NL Flowmon is successfully in use by education, healthcare, finance and transportation.

Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) offers in-depth visibility into network operations, helping identify patterns, anomalies, and potential security threats. It assists IT professionals in optimizing network performance and enhancing security measures by analyzing data traffic. Network Traffic Analysis tools are essential in monitoring and analyzing network data to detect performance issues and security threats. They collect and analyze data packets traversing the network to provide insights on...
