NetWitness® Decoder is the cornerstone of the NetWitness NextGen™ infrastructure and the key component of an enterprise-wide network data recording solution. Decoder is a real-time, distributed, highly configurable network recording appliance that enables users to collect, filter, and analyze full network traffic in an infinite number of dimensions.

Unlike every other network recording or monitoring products on the market, Decoder fully reassembles and globally normalizes traffic at every layer for full session analysis. The patented Decoder represents a breakthrough in network traffic monitoring that dynamically builds a complete taxonomy of data across all layers and applications, including full packets. Decoder creates a definitive foundation of Total Network Knowledge™ that can be mined in real-time by the NetWitness® Investigator Enterprise and Informer applications. NetWitness Decoder now also includes NetWitness® Live, which provides you with access to multi-source threat intelligence. For more advanced applications, users can leverage NextGen’s available API/SDK to build more organizational-specific applications which utilize Decoder and the NextGen infrastructure. Decoder represents the intersection of network metrics, rich application flow and content information that differentiates NetWitness® products from any other capabilities on the market.

Now Available in a Portable Version!
