Implementing Full Packet Capture

Full Packet Capture (FPC) provides a network defender an after-the-fact investigative capability that other security tools cannot provide. Uses include capturing malware samples, network exploits and determining if data exfiltration has occurred. Full packet captures are a valuable troubleshooting tool for operations and security teams alike. Successful implementation requires an understanding of organization-specific requirements, capacity planning, and delivery of unaltered network traffic to the packet capture system.
