There are three different ways of looking at network monitoring. One is what every IT team does, they have tools for network, switch, and server monitoring. Deep packet inspection uses capabilities from smart switches to monitor the traffic content that passes through the switch with a security focus. Lastly there is device monitoring going down to the IP address at the edge of the plant. IntraVUE^® is not switch/network monitoring, and is not deep packet inspection. It is a tool built for documentation and monitoring of edge device connections, helping customers maintain real-time documentation and providing information on real-time risks common to automation system environments.
