In the rapidly evolving landscape of cyber threats, network security has never been more crucial. With the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks escalating, organizations are under constant pressure to safeguard their networks. According to Sophos' The State of Ransomware 2023 report, 66% of organizations were hit by ransomware in 2023, and this trend is only going to keep growing with time. Additionally, Top10VPN estimates that VPN-related vulnerabilities increased by 47% in 2023. These statistics highlight the urgent need for robust network security solutions.

Traditional Network Monitoring: A Growing Inadequacy

Historically, network monitoring solutions have focused on tracking performance metrics, bandwidth usage, and basic security alerts. While these tools have been effective to an extent, the current cyberthreat landscape demands more advanced capabilities. Traditional monitoring is often reactive, identifying issues after they occur, which is no longer sufficient. As cyberthreats become more complex, there's a clear need for proactive, comprehensive security measures.
