Traffic Replication and PCAP Support
Use Prisma Access to save and download PCAP files for forensics and analysis.
You need to examine your traffic using industry-specific or
privately-developed monitoring and threat tools in your organization and
those tools require PCAPs for additional content inspection, threat
monitoring, and troubleshooting.
After an intrusion attempt or the detection of a new zero-day threat, you
need to preserve and collect PCAPs for forensic analysis both before and
after the attempt. After you analyze the PCAPs and determine the root cause
of the intrusion event, you could then create a new policy or implement a
new security posture.
- Your organization needs to download and archive PCAPs for a specific period of
time and retrieve as needed for legal or compliance requirements.
- Your organization requires PCAPs for network-level troubleshooting (for example,
your networking team requires data at a packet level to debug application
performance or other network issues).
To accomplish these objectives, you can enable traffic replication which uses the
Prisma Access cloud to replicate traffic and encrypt PCAP files using your
organization's encryption certificates.
