NIKSUN’s solutions are based on a holistic view of the problem areas. Typically, many security and network issues are dealt with in a disparate manner by disjointed teams. In most medium- to large-scale businesses, a typical incident affecting a business is addressed separately by the “networking”, “security”, "compliance", and “client and application” teams without real coordination between these teams. The lack of coordination is not due to the lack of desire to cooperate, but rather due to the lack of a single integrated solution, which can be leveraged by the various teams. Therefore, each team uses their own tools relevant to their domain and usually the problem goes unresolved for significantly longer periods of time than necessary.

NIKSUN’s approach to handling of such incidents is quite different. Recognizing the fact that different business units require different “information” and “intelligence” for their day-to-day operations, but each of the business units in reality leverage the same source of “information”, NIKSUN has developed a very different integrated holistic approach.

By developing a scalable data warehouse which is an intelligent repository of information serving the needs of various organizations, NIKSUN’s solutions address the first fundamental requirement, namely a common information source ensuring consistency of information between different business units. This common information source also serves as a “knowledge repository” which serves as a common knowledge base within the organization allowing for intelligent solutions to be developed over time.

In addition, this model ensures that organizations continue to minimize their total cost of ownership. On top of this knowledge data warehouse, NIKSUN has developed specific data mining applications which are specifically designed to leverage the common knowledge repository and provide specific solutions for various business requirements. For example, NIKSUN’s NetDetector 2005 solution is a special data mining application suitable for security surveillance, detection , forensics and various other security related applications. Similarly, NetVCR 2005 is a data mining application suitable for network performance, quality of service, service level management, troubleshooting, etc. In addition, NIKSUN’s enterprise solutions allow organizations to easily correlate and aggregate information for an enterprise wide view.

Having developed highly responsive remediation solutions leveraging the wealth of knowledge in the NIKSUN knowledge base, NIKSUN's solutions have now evolved proactive solutions for its customers. These proactive solutions allow organizations to build effective triage solutions and to leverage the knowledge base to develop effective prevention solutions for various business applications such as: security, compliance, network and service performance, optimization , Multicast , etc.

To simplify problem resolution further, organizations can also leverage NIKSUN's expert solutions to help reduce the time taken to analyze and solve complex security , compliance and network issues.
NIKSUN continues to invest heavily in future technologies allowing organizations to leverage its investments over long periods of time. This holistic scalable and integrated approach has already allowed many organizations to fundamentally change the way they function. The NIKSUN solution ultimately provides a significantly higher degree of satisfaction for the end customer while reducing overall operational costs.

Compliance Solution

Recent events in politics and business have raised awareness surrounding the issues of privacy, fraud, liability, and corporate accountability -- to the point where we have entered an age of increased audit and regulation. The threat is aggressive enforcement and stiff penalties have forced diligent companies to adopt a proactive stance on monitoring their own networks for violations.
NIKSUN's powerful surveillance, data warehousing, and data-mining solutions provide the ultimate safety net for ensuring compliance. Throughout the year, analysts can monitor for network activity related to fraud, information leakage, and inappropriate use. NIKSUN's storage, hashed export, and reconstruction capabilities can be applied for data retention and audit evidence. In short, NIKSUN's solutions can provide an early warning against non-compliance, solid proof of compliance during an audit, and data evidence when needed for self-regulated and federally regulated companies.
