In either case, by adding RUA to the 3D Sensor, you can immediately identify the
user who is logged into the host that is running the rogue operating system or
launching the internal attack.
Figure 4 On the internal network
Selected models of the 3D Sensor offer multiple sensing ports on an adapter card.
You can use the multi-port 3D Sensors in either of two ways:
• to recombine the separate connections from a network tap
• to capture and evaluate traffic from different networks
IMPORTANT! Although each port is capable of receiving the full throughput for
which the sensor is rated, the total traffic on the 3D Sensor cannot exceed its
bandwidth rating without some packet loss.
Deploying a multi-port 3D Sensor with a network tap is a straightforward process.
The following illustration shows a network tap installed on a high-traffic network
segment.
