torrent_usage_detection

Explanation

The torrent_usage_detection NDM was developed by the Netography Threat Research team to detect instances of torrent file sharing on a network.

What to Look For

To examine the results of the torrent_usage_detection NDM event, security personnel should look for evidence of torrent file sharing activity on the network, such as abnormal spikes in network traffic or large amounts of data being transferred to and from specific endpoints. They should also examine endpoint devices for the presence of torrent client software or other tools commonly used for sharing files via torrent networks. If evidence of torrent file sharing is found, appropriate remediation steps should be taken to prevent further unauthorized activity and ensure the security of the network and its data.
