It automatically analyzes and aggregates log and flow data from different devices, endpoints, and apps across the network. Moreover, it has single alerts to speed incident analysis and remediation.

Network insights

Network Insights gives deep visibility through real-time network traffic analysis. It analyzes network data to uncover an attacker’s footprints and expose hidden security threats in many scenarios before they damage the organization. Network Insights can detect phishing e-mails, malware, data exfiltration, lateral movement, DNS abuse, and compliance gaps.
