Abstract

Annual global IP traffic is expected to reach 3.3 zettabytes per year by 2021. It is more crucial than ever that organizations understand the mission activity on their network and the threats to that activity to achieve network situational awareness. Tim Shimeall and Timur Snoke examine the role of the network traffic analyst in capturing and evaluating this data - a job critical to defenders of large-scale organizational networks.
