About NetWitness

NetWitness is a cybersecurity software platform from RSA that provides identity intelligence, authentication, access, and governance solutions. It combines a Unified Identity Platform, support to meet the highest cybersecurity standards, and secure help desk features against social engineering, so organizations can defend themselves against cyber threats effectively. RSA is trusted by the world's leading organizations to secure their operations. NetWitness offers comprehensive visibility into network traffic and user behavior, enabling security teams to detect and respond to threats swiftly. Key capabilities: unified identity management incident response threat detection user analytics security monitoring Best for: organizations that need reliable security measures against cyber threats.

NetWitness is a powerful and comprehensive cybersecurity platform designed to provide organizations with deep visibility, advanced threat detection, and streamlined incident response across complex IT environments, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. At its core, NetWitness excels in Network Detection and Response (NDR) by leveraging full-packet capture, metadata analysis, and behavioral analytics to identify both known and unknown threats in real time, significantly reducing dwell time and potential damage. Its forensic-grade investigation tools enable security analysts to reconstruct entire attack sequences through session reconstruction and protocol analysis, offering unparalleled insight into threat actors’ tactics, techniques, and procedures. This granular visibility extends beyond network traffic, as NetWitness integrates Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities to monitor endpoint activity, catch evasive malware, and stop attacks that bypass traditional antivirus solutions. Furthermore, the platform incorporates Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) functions, aggregating and correlating logs from diverse sources to enhance detection accuracy and support compliance needs.
