On August 15, 2012, Saudi Arabia’s national oil and gas company, Aramco, suffered a debilitating cyberattack. More than 30,000 computers were rendered inoperable by the Shamoon virus.

Napatech’s intelligent adapter forms a key part of this response by ensuring that network monitoring and security appliances have the full capacity to monitor, detect and halt potential attacks.
