clipboard"></span></h1><p>Network traffic monitoring is an increasingly significant security gap for organizations today. As a security practitioner looking to minimize your attack surface, you need to know of the types of network data traversing your network and how much of that data is moving: two critical areas that could indicate malicious activity in your environment.</p><p>If you subscribe to one or more Rapid7 products, you have already deployed Insight Agents, Collectors, Scan Engines, or a combination of the three to monitor your assets for vulnerabilities and user behavior. While these components are responsible for collecting data on your assets, they do not account for network traffic, which is the data moving between your assets. To provide the network traffic visibility that you need, Rapid7 offers the <a href="/sensor/insight-network-sensor-requirements">Insight Network Sensor</a> with multiple deployment options, including the <a href="/sensor/network-sensor-for-aws-requirements">Network Sensor for AWS</a>.</p><div class="block-callout info"><h3 id="Enhanced-Network-Traffic-Analysis" class="block-callout__title">Enhanced Network Traffic Analysis<span class="copy-btn" title="Copy link to clipboard"></span></h3><p>Enhanced Network Traffic Analysis (ENTA) is an Ultimate package feature, previously available as an add-on module. ENTA generates network flow data which provides your team with a constant feed of what assets are connecting to and what network protocols they are using. For more information on using this data with InsightIDR, visit the <a href="/insightidr/network-traffic-analysis">Network Traffic Analysis page</a>.</p></div><h2 id="network-sensors">Network Sensors<span class="copy-btn" title="Copy link to clipboard"></span></h2><p>The Insight Network Sensor allows you to monitor, capture, and assess the end-to-end network traffic moving throughout your physical and virtual environment.
