Why should we monitor the network conversation?

In a network group, especially for the company, enterprise, school, bank, NSA, etc, the confidential information is very very important, and may very dangerous if they are divulged.

And also, for a company/enterprise boss, he can get the information of what his staff are talking about via internet, no matter they are using MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk, ICQ, AIM…or Email Webmail…at any time.

Under this situation, we need a network monitor/packet sniffer, not only to monitor the network conversation, but also to guarantee our network security for prevent it from dangerous beforehand.

Conclusion:
For every organization, institution, company, enterprise…etc, the confidential information is very important that are never allowed to be leaked out.


Except the traditional File Encryption, Video Surveillance, what can we do if we are in a huge network? Under this situation, a powerful packet sniffer/network analyzer is quite a good right-hand.
