Chapter 8: Visualization
Application Control
To help solve application problems, network visualization evaluates communication
flows and packets in depth to pinpoint the application being used. Network visualization
automatically discovers and records the user and application identities in real time
without changing how users interact with systems and applications. It reports this
information to OmniVista SafeGuard Manager, which offers a simple and accurate
method of audit and control.
