NetWitness, a vendor of networking threat-analysis software, is offering a free version of its NetWitness Investigator package by download, the company said Monday. NetWitness Investigator is different from most other network-scanning software in that it uses forensic tools to examine applications and changes on content on the network, as well as attacks coming from outside the network, said Amit Yoran, NetWitness’ chairman and CEO.
The software package gives users detailed analyses of malicious activity on their networks, he said. NetWitness releases free version of security software | InfoWorld | News | 2008-11-17 | By Grant Gross, IDG News Service
