Correct bad network behavior to bolster application experience

2023-12-18 05:30

Network behavior analysis helps secure and optimize the performance of the network upon which applications run and does so through a specialized form of network monitoring.

"NBA helps in enhancing network safety by watching traffic and observing unusual activity and departures of a network operation," says Techopedia.

This monitoring spots performance issues that can be solved with network fixes or upgrades, as well as anomalous behavior that could indicate a cyber incursion that not only degrades application performance but can also cripple operations.

The biggest user experience crusher is when the network or application is down or crippled into non-usability.

Unlike antivirus/anti-malware, network behavior analysis does not depend upon signatures of known exploits to detect attacks, but tracks and analyzes actual network behavior to find abnormal actions that are an early warning of attack.

Network behavior analysis learns a lot from the network telemetry data produced by routers, switches and countless other network devices.
