METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECORDING NETWORK TRAFFIC AND PREDICTING POTENTIAL SECURITY EVENTS

Recording network traffic is disclosed. Data associated with a network flow are monitored. If it is determined that the data associated with the network flow satisfy a first criterion based at least in part on a prediction value that reflects a likelihood that the network flow will result in a security event, the data associated with the network flow are begun to be recorded even though a second criterion corresponding to the security event has not been satisfied.
