Description: Network traffic analysis is the process of monitoring and examining the data flowing through a computer network. This analysis allows for the identification of behavioral patterns, detection of anomalies, and evaluation of network performance. In the context of cybersecurity, it involves the use of various techniques and tools to assess and enhance the security of the network. Network traffic analysis is crucial for identifying potential security breaches, ensuring compliance, and optimizing network performance. By using advanced tools such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), teams can gain a clear view of activities on the network. This process not only helps prevent attacks but also enables a quick and effective response to security incidents, thereby ensuring the integrity and availability of data and services on the network.
