Description: Traffic Scanning is the process of analyzing network traffic to identify potential threats or anomalies. This analysis is carried out by inspecting data packets circulating through a network, allowing system administrators to detect unusual patterns that may indicate a cyber attack, such as a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. Traffic scanning tools can classify traffic into different categories, such as legitimate and malicious traffic, and can provide valuable information about the source and destination of the data. This process is fundamental to network security, as it enables a rapid response to incidents and helps maintain the integrity and availability of online services. Additionally, traffic scanning can be part of a broader security management strategy that includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other protective technologies. In an environment where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, traffic scanning has become an essential tool for organizations seeking to protect their digital assets and ensure business continuity.
