Network traffic analysis examines communication patterns to detect malicious activity: command-and-control communication, data exfiltration, lateral movement, and reconnaissance. Testing evaluates: does your monitoring detect common C2 protocols? Can it identify data exfiltration through encrypted channels? Does it alert on internal scanning or lateral movement? And are network monitoring blind spots documented and accepted?
