In a recent survey conducted by the vendor of more than 200 people belonging to organizations of at least 1,000 network nodes, Solera Networks found that their technology remains relatively unfamiliar. While 92% said capturing and recording all network traffic is important to network forensic capabilities, only 28% said they were very familiar with network forensic solutions. In this interview, Shillingford says the technology is ready for prime time.
