Abstract

We know how to use metrology to discover functional problems on networks and how to measure error rate to detect active or passive abnormal behaviour items. We can even use it to observe the network use and to detect abnormal consumption of resources. This led us to develop a flow analyses application to secure networks. Built around a relational database system, filled by metrology platform and supporting multi-criteria sort queries, NetSEC allows analysis of unusual traffic in order to find its roots. A user-friendly web interface allows the use of the NetSEC application close to final users.
