That the security industry is cripplingly understaffed is not a new revelation. Since 2015, the number of organizations reporting a “problematic shortage” increases year over year, with 53% of organizations reporting this gap in 2018-2019. This is a pervasive, global problem and one that shows no signs of slowing as the cybersecurity sector grows and plays an ever more important role in day-to-day business functions. What does represent a new revelation is that in many cases, the answer to this skills shortage is already on the payroll.

Your business networks generate a ton of data every day. That data can be analyzed to provide insights into how your network is operating or to find security threats. Network traffic analysis (NTA) solutions allow network administrators to collect data on the traffic that flows through a network. These tools are typically used for identifying performance problems and/or for discovering security problems. An NTA solution is no doubt useful, but it can be difficult to determine the best network traffic analysis solutions for your enterprise.
