Compare E-Detective to Firewall, IDS, IPS and UTM systems, what are the major differences between them?
E-Detective does not interfere or affect the normal network activities or condition. It does not stop any services or block usage of the network. It uses sniffer technology to sniff packets from mirror port of a switch or hub and decode, reconstruct the Internet raw data and display them in original format (real and exact content). It is a system to archive all Internet activities of the entire network (Internet Recorder) and able to trace back every evidence of confidential information loss through the Internet (protect from Internal sobotage). While Firewall, Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Intrusion Protection System (IPS) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) systems can create policies, rules and limit or block access to some services and applications (protect from outside attack). Therefore, E-Detective is not a Firewall, IDS, IPS or UTM system.
