NSFOCUS Recognized in Forrester’s Network Analysis and Visibility Solutions Landscape
Santa Clara, Calif. – May 28, 2025 – In a significant development for the cybersecurity landscape, global research and advisory firm Forrester has released its latest report, The Network Analysis and Visibility (NAV) Solutions Landscape, Q2 2025. This comprehensive analysis delves into market dynamics, technology trends, and product capabilities within the NAV sector, and NSFOCUS has once again earned its place among the notable vendors.
Understanding NAV Solutions
Forrester defines NAV solutions as passive security deployments that analyze real-time network traffic to detect threats. These solutions utilize both signature- and behavior-based approaches to establish asset relationships, extract metadata, capture packets, and integrate with other security controls for effective threat remediation and network forensics. The importance of NAV solutions cannot be overstated; they enable organizations to visualize network status, detect complex intrusions using AI and machine learning, and accelerate response times through automated orchestration with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Network Detection and Response (NDR), and next-generation firewalls.
NSFOCUS: A Leader in NAV Solutions
According to the Forrester report, NSFOCUS stands out as a notable vendor in the NAV space, offering a range of solutions that cater to various sectors, including financial services, government, and telecommunications. The company has adapted to the exponential growth of data and the increasing demand for real-time network analysis by developing innovative solutions like MagicFlow (MF).
MagicFlow: A Game-Changer in Network Analysis
MagicFlow is a robust solution designed to enhance network visibility and threat detection. With core capabilities in abnormal traffic analysis, directional traffic tracing, and comprehensive traffic visibility, MF leverages big data, threat intelligence, and machine learning. This powerful tool enables global traffic visualization and integrates seamlessly with the NSFOCUS Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA), providing an end-to-end detection and analysis experience.
One of the standout features of MagicFlow is its retrospective analysis capability, which helps users uncover malicious activities and refine detection rules. This functionality allows organizations to visualize attack paths, optimize their networks, and attribute attacks more effectively.
ISOP-NDR: The Flagship Network Detection and Response Platform
NSFOCUS’s flagship product, ISOP-NDR, offers full traffic retention and deep analysis capabilities, enhanced by automated response mechanisms. This platform supports advanced threat detection, including zero-day vulnerabilities, covert attacks, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Additionally, ISOP-NDR facilitates red-team/blue-team drills, allowing organizations to assess their defenses without disrupting business operations.
With the integration of AI and machine learning enhancements, ISOP-NDR effectively manages false positives while delivering high-fidelity, actionable results. These intelligent algorithms continuously learn from network behavior, enabling rapid threat detection and adaptive responses. This empowers security teams to prioritize genuine threats with greater accuracy and speed, ultimately reducing alert fatigue and streamlining incident response.
Competitive Advantages of NSFOCUS NAV Solutions
Compared to other products in the market, NSFOCUS’s NAV-related offerings exhibit leading advantages in core functions such as APT detection, abnormal traffic analysis, real-time threat handling, and attack attribution. The company aims to provide comprehensive and intelligent cybersecurity solutions that facilitate real-time responses. To date, NSFOCUS’s NAV products have been successfully implemented across various sectors, including government, finance, telecommunications, enterprise, and education, helping organizations evolve to next-generation cybersecurity architectures and effectively address challenges posed by the development of 5G.
Conclusion
The recognition of NSFOCUS in Forrester’s NAV Solutions Landscape underscores the company’s commitment to advancing cybersecurity solutions. As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, the importance of robust network analysis and visibility solutions cannot be overstated. NSFOCUS continues to lead the charge in providing innovative tools that empower organizations to enhance their cybersecurity posture and prepare for the future.
