NetFort LANGuardian is software for investigating and monitoring activity on your network. Use it for network forensics, security, troubleshooting bandwidth issues, and keeping track of Web activity and Windows file share activity. Unlike other packet capture products, LANGuardian is a software-only solution that can be deployed as a VMware virtual appliance or installed on a dedicated physical machine. It's based on network traffic so there are no agents or clients to install. LANGuardian is easy to use and has no impact on performance. Watch our 3-minute intro video and be amazed at what you can find out from your network traffic. More
