Increasing network complexity, growing obfuscation techniques, and exploding multimedia traffic volumes are bringing a host of next-generation problems from zero-day exploits, targeted malware and Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), to service level disruptions and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance issues. On a granular level, the nature and frequency of cyber attacks are fundamentally changing the cyber security landscape.

In today's evolving IT environment, the single biggest challenge in solving these problems is gaining actionable insight on the dizzying array of unknowns associated with each security attack or performance issue. Deeply committed to the passion of helping organizations and governments solve these problems, a company from Princeton, NJ named NIKSUN has developed a revolutionary approach of analyzing network traffic to essentially record everything and know anything traversing the network.

Founded in 1997 by Dr. Parag Pruthi, his visionary leadership and focus on innovation has guided NIKSUN from start-up to revolutionizing the network monitoring industry. Based on his doctoral research to model high variability phenomenon in networking, Dr. Pruthi along with notable colleagues developed the idea.

The company develops a highly scalable array of real time and forensics-based cybersecurity and network performance management solutions for government & intelligence agencies, service providers, financial services companies, and large enterprises such as retailers and manufacturers. NIKSUN's award-winning appliances deliver unprecedented flexibility and packet capture power. The company's patented real-time analysis and recording technology is the industry's most comprehensive solution for secure and reliable network infrastructure and services, providing the power to instantly "Know the Unknown."
