Determined to be 'a solid product that not only provides good log analysis,

       it has the forensic chops to get the investigative job done.'



    MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J., July 23 /EMWNews/ -- NIKSUN(R), the leading

provider of real-time network performance monitoring, security

surveillance, forensic analysis, and compliance solutions, announced today

that SC Magazine has selected the award winning NetDetector(R) solution for

their esteemed "Best Buy" award. The product was top-rated in all six

categories: Features, Ease of Use, Performance, Documentation, Support, and

Value for the Money.



    Reviewers commended NIKSUN NetDetector's design as an appliance that

not only has the ability to do network forensics and incident analysis but

also praised the onboard intrusion detection and network surveillance

systems. The review states, "Beyond analysis deep within the packet, this

product can also reconstruct applications, such as web-browsers and even

chat and web-based email."



    SC Magazine's reviewers were surprised by how easy it is to install and

begin using NetDetector. Initial configuration can be done by either

connecting a monitor and keyboard to the appliance itself or through a

HyperTerminal connection. After running through the simple set-up wizard to

set IP addresses and gateways, the review notes that, "The Java-based web

GUI is easy and intuitive to navigate and we were looking at data in no

time."



    More highlights of SC Magazine's review:



    -- On the appliance's performance: "This product is a solid performer.

It sits off of a hub, the span port of a switch or a network tap so it sees

all network traffic and is able to record anything that goes in or out of

the enterprise."



    -- On network analysis: "When doing network analysis, we found drilling

down into the many graphs to be an easy task, and finding the exact data

was quick and efficient."



    In summary, SC Magazine's reviewers stated that, "The combination of

analysis capability and application reconstruction, along with simple

intuitiveness, makes the NIKSUN NetDetector a solid asset to almost any

organization." As for weaknesses, the reviewers could not find any, and the

final verdict was, "A solid product that not only provides good log

analysis, it has the forensics chops to get the investigative job done. Our

Best Buy."
