Acterna Adds Lawful Intercept and Intrusion Detection to Analyzer

Acterna has added lawful intercept and intrusion detection functionality to its DA-3600 Data Network Analyzer. The analyzer, which was designed for law enforcement, defense and security agencies, is capable of operating on Ethernet and Packet-over-SONET/SDH data networks and supports rates up to 2.5 Gbps. With the new capabilities, Acterna's DA-3600 is able to intercept and forward packet streams based on parameters defined by the user. It has the capacity to analyze up to 160K IP flows and delivers flexible filtering capabilities by IP addresses and keywords. These new capabilities allow the monitoring and interception of data traffic such as email, web and chat. More specifically, the analyzer can search and filter all traffic for keywords suspected to be associated with a threat to security. When a keyword is identified, the DA-3600 will automatically begin to monitor those users and forward their traffic to a collection device for forensic analysis.
