Operation and Maintenance: NBA products are designed to
be operated and maintained through consoles, which typically
have very similar capabilities to the consoles for network-based
IDPSs. A key difference is that NBA8 consoles usually offer
visualization tools that can display the flow of attacks through
an organization’s networks. These tools can show a user which
hosts were affected by an attack, the sequence of hosts that an
attack passed through, and the first host to be involved in the
attack. Some NBA products also offer command-line interfaces.
