NETWORK PERFORMANCE & SECURITY MONITORING SOLUTION
Collect, visualize, analyze and report on data from every network conversation and digital transaction
Your network is your business. When a security or performance issue arises, the network is your source of truth. Harness its infrastructure to gain security and performance insight to protect and enable your business.
Plixer Core collects, analyzes, visualizes, and reportson data from every network conversation and digital transaction to deliver security and network intelligence. It provides the insight and historical data needed to manage and optimize business operations while reducing risk by detecting and remediating incidents. Unlike competing solutions that require the addition of many expensive and proprietary appliances, Plixer’s implementation collects data that is exported directly from the existing infrastructure (switches, routers, firewalls, packet brokers, etc.). This differentiated approach is frictionless, eases implementation, reduces complexity, and improves ROI.
Plixer Core is available as both physical and virtual appliances.
Security benefits
Reduce security risks
As a security professional, risk reduction is job one. The decades-long strategy of deploying security products, purchased in the name of prevention, has failed us. Attacks are inevitable. Today, the greatest risk reduction comes from a focus on forensic data and improving time-to-resolution after a breach occurs. Support faster time-to-resolution Faster time-to-resolution is accomplished through a faster time-to-know. Remediation can only occur after root cause has been established, and rich contextual data is the enabler. Plixer Core gathers flows and metadata from across your entire network infrastructure, providing the visualization and reporting of the forensic details you need for faster time-to-resolution.
Deliver contextual forensics
Access to high volumes of disparate data does not lead to faster response. In fact, it can have the opposite effect. The best context and response come from the correlation of network-related metadata gathered from firewalls, switches, routers, and distributed probes, all stitched together into a single database. Plixer Core correlates events and maps alarms to the MITRE ATT&CK® for quick understanding of security incidents.
Proactive thresholds and alarming
IoT, BYOD, and the explosion of virtual machines have all created an unmanageable threat surface. Monitoring network traffic is a highly effective way to identify indicators of compromise. Proactive thresholds, alerting, and open RESTful APIs enable rapid and dynamic event response. Plixer Core provides realtime detection of DDoS attacks, whether the attack is volumetric-, application-, or protocol-based.
Endpoint Analytics
Built into the Plixer Core platform is Endpoint Analytics, which gives IT, network, and security operations teams deep visibility and tight control over network endpoints (PCs, mobile devices, VMs, IoT endpoints, etc.). Gain real-time insights into device identity, location, and behavioral data, as well as the ability to identify and respond to threats automatically. This helps organizations track assets,strengthen security and compliance, and mitigate risk.
Network benefits
Enrich data context of network traffic
Better context is achieved by correlating traffic flows and metadata collected from all corners of the network into a single database. Plixer Core offers rapid filtering and reporting from this rich data to deliver deep insight, allowing you to answer the questions: who, what, where, when, why, and how.
Increase efficiency and reduce cost
Plixer Core offers the industry’s fastest and most accurate reporting, delivering visibility into bandwidth, application, and user utilization (including the WAN and SD-WAN). When users complain, but your SNMP tool’s lights are all green, what do you do? You turn to Plixer Core to protect customer satisfaction, productivity, and revenue.
Monitor network and application performance
Network/application optimization and root cause analysis require true end-to-end visibility. Plixer Core delivers by collecting, visualizing, and reporting on data that extend all the way from the user through to the cloud. It also provides real-time detection of DDoS attacks, minimizing disruption and loss of revenue.
Achieve fast reporting and massive scale
Plixer Core’s hierarchical design with streamlined and efficient data collection allows you to start small and easily scale to multi-millions of flows per second. Although the network is always blamed, fast and accurate reporting allows the network team to identify root cause and, as is often the case, deliver proof of network innocence.
