The complexity and volume of today’s network traffic continually challenges the collection and ingest of high volumes of network traffic to extract critical intelligence.

This Technical White Paper from NetQuest examines these challenges and outlines practicable approaches to intelligently identify and deliver only relevant and monitorable traffic to the Suricata Sensor to optimize capacity, streamline analysis, and extend historical forensics capacity. Optimizing traffic can reduce instrumentation costs and remove the barriers to expanding visibility for critical observation points, such as East-West network links.
