NetWitness Corporation has announced the availability of its product portfolio in cloud-based offerings.

The network security company said there is an increasing need for IT organisations to regain control by placing greater importance on comprehensive network monitoring.

NetWitness chief security officer Eddie Schwartz said, "With virtualization and cloud computing, the IT organisation’s loss of ‘command and control’ requires security teams to place greater emphasis on comprehensive network monitoring, precise and real-time threat detection, and actionable intelligence."

With its cloud based offerings, NetWitness said it is offering deployment facility to enterprise customers.

Schwartz said, "The introduction of cloud-based offerings of our infrastructure and analytic applications provides deployment flexibility to enterprise customers by delivering the detailed visibility they need into advanced threats and sophisticated attacks, previously only available with our appliances."
