With the ability to monitor, alert and forensically reconstruct network traffic data, nChronos takes on today's increasing cyber-crime and cyber-attack security breaches.

One of the biggest issues emerging in 2013 is the ever increasing corporate risk from cyber-crime and cyber-attacks. The threat of cyber-crime and cyber-attacks has grown so rapidly that even the general public is familiar with terms like: cyber-crime, cyber-attacks, cyber weapons, cyber espionage, cyber warfare and hactivism.
Recent reports have found that the net loss due to cyber-crime now outweighs the global narcotics trade! "Today, cyber-crime costs more than $1.0 trillion to society, with billions of dollars being stolen from small, medium and large-sized enterprises, identity of millions of individuals compromised, and several governments across the world have already been targets of cyber-warfare." ("Cyber Security: A Global Strategic Business Report" by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.). The rapid growth of cyber threats on business IT infrastructure has made organizations more vulnerable than ever. In today's complex IT and networking environment with growing cyber threats, corporate executives are finding it challenging to protect their organizations and reduce security risk.
Cybersecurity involves protecting that infrastructure by preventing, detecting, and responding to cyber incidents. Unlike physical threats that prompt immediate action-like stop, drop, and roll in the event of a fire-cyber threats are often difficult to identify and comprehend. Among these dangers are viruses erasing entire systems, intruders breaking into systems and altering files, intruders using your computer or device to attack others, or intruders stealing confidential information. Colasoft's nChronos network forensic analysis software is a powerful weapon every business should have to monitor and defend against Cyber Crime and Cyber Attacks.
The only way to truly monitor your network against cyber-crime is to install an application like Colasoft's nChronos which is capable of monitoring ALL network data at the packet level 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With the ability to decode protocols in 7 layers, nChronos network analysts can analyze every aspect and layer of their network to identify and spot abnormal network communication activities.
nChronos is a Cyber Crime Prevention and Forensic Data Recorder appliance designed for monitoring medium and large corporate installations. nChronos connects to your company's core router or switch and monitors all network traffic, emails and chat sessions inbound and outbound. nChronos provides the ability to monitor abnormal traffic and alert upon detection of "Suspicious Conversations". Only when network engineers monitor network activities of the entire network at the packet level are they able to identify abnormal network activities and protect their companies from cyber-crime and cyber-attacks.
nChronos not only alerts you of an attack, it records ALL Packet data. This ability to record all network packet data provides you with the ability to "rewind" and "replay" the actual network activity as it occurred. Companies have video cameras to monitor who physically enters their business afterhours, now with nChronos you can monitor and record data activity in a similar manner. The time has come where theft of company assets and intellectual property from data streams and network activity is the greater threat. nChronos has placed itself as an effective monitor and deterrent of cyber-crime. With a relatively minor investment, nChronos can provide insight and deep packet analysis of all network activity.
