Network Traffic Analyzer
Your network security expert that inspects traffic patterns, detects anomalies, and identifies protocol vulnerabilities.
What is Network Traffic Analyzer?
The Network Traffic Analyzer is a specialized agent that performs deep packet inspection and network traffic analysis. It identifies suspicious patterns, protocol vulnerabilities, unencrypted communications, and potential data exfiltration—providing visibility into what's happening on your network.
Problems It Solves
Blind to Network-Level Attacks
Application security scans miss network-level attacks: man-in-the-middle, DNS spoofing, ARP poisoning, and traffic interception. You need visibility into actual network behavior.
Unencrypted Data in Transit
Applications may transmit sensitive data over unencrypted channels (HTTP, plain TCP), exposing credentials, API keys, and user data to interception.
Data Exfiltration Goes Undetected
Attackers exfiltrate data through covert channels, DNS tunneling, or unusual traffic patterns. Without traffic analysis, these attacks remain invisible.
Protocol Implementation Flaws
Custom protocols and API implementations often have security flaws: missing authentication, weak encryption, or improper session handling that only appear at the network level.
How Network Traffic Analyzer Works
Deep Packet Inspection
Analyzes network packets at multiple protocol layers (L2-L7). Identifies protocol violations, malformed packets, and suspicious traffic patterns.
Encryption & TLS Analysis
Detects unencrypted communications, weak TLS configurations, certificate validation issues, and downgrade attacks. Ensures data is properly encrypted in transit.
Anomaly Detection
Baselines normal traffic patterns and identifies anomalies: unusual data volumes, unexpected destinations, irregular connection patterns that indicate attacks or data exfiltration.
Protocol Security Testing
Tests custom protocols and APIs for security flaws: authentication bypass, session hijacking, replay attacks, and protocol-level injection vulnerabilities.
User Benefits
Network Visibility
See exactly what data your application sends and receives. Identify unencrypted communications and suspicious traffic patterns.
Prevent Data Leaks
Detect data exfiltration attempts through covert channels, DNS tunneling, or unusual outbound connections before data leaves your network.
Protocol Security
Validate that custom protocols and APIs implement proper encryption, authentication, and session management.
Compliance Evidence
Prove data is encrypted in transit for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOC2 compliance requirements.
Attack Detection
Identify man-in-the-middle attacks, DNS spoofing, and other network-level attacks in real-time.
API Security
Discover undocumented APIs, shadow APIs, and API endpoints transmitting sensitive data without proper encryption.
Real-World Use Cases
Unencrypted API Discovery
Detected internal microservices communicating over HTTP, transmitting user PII in plaintext. Migrated to mTLS, preventing potential data exposure.
Data Exfiltration Detection
Identified unusual DNS queries with high entropy—DNS tunneling exfiltrating customer data. Blocked the attack and patched the compromised service.
Third-Party Integration Security
Discovered a third-party analytics service receiving full user sessions without encryption. Removed the integration, preventing GDPR violation.
