"Analyzing Web Traffic"

Understanding corporate Website traffic helps to detect potential threats. Consider the following as you answer this Week’s Discussion Question:

• Your CIO has asked you to research Network Forensic Analysis Tools (NFAT). Describe the purpose of NFAT as you understand it, and how these tools can assist with an investigation. Compare and contrast your favorite NFAT tools and make a recommendation as to which tool you think would be best. Make sure to justify your answers with facts and provide links to useful resources that would help solidify your answers.
• After reading a few of your classmates’ postings, reply to the ones from which you learned something new or to which you have something to add. Remember to get in early and post often.

Additional post option: How often would you analyze network traffic, and why?
