Progress enhances Flowmon ADS 12.2 with AI-powered contextual threat event…
Progress, the well-respected provider of application development and infrastructure software, has announced the latest release of its network anomaly detection system, Progress Flowmon ADS with significant updates. Flowmon ADS 12.2 harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to provide an advanced holistic view of detected security events. These enhancements empower cybersecurity professionals to pinpoint significant events, prioritise them with context, guide efficient decision-making, and respond swiftly.
IT teams frequently face the challenge of managing substantial volumes of security events and alerts. Without comprehensive network detection capabilities or enough data to inform decisions, organisations become susceptible to attacks. Flowmon ADS 12.2 provides IT professionals with rapid, automated access to an extensive array of meaningful security insights. By applying sophisticated intelligence and context, malicious behaviours can be identified quickly, along with attacks against critical applications, data breaches, and various threat indicators.
New data views within Flowmon ADS 12.2 correlate detected events throughout the entire IT ecosystem—on-premises, cloud, and hybrid—providing crucial information about the devices with the highest threat score. This feature allows IT professionals to track changes in severity across various types of detected events and the most significant detected threats. Furthermore, Flowmon ADS acts as an always-on, AI-powered cybersecurity analyst, distilling and summarising only the essential events and findings. It offers a contextualised understanding of incidents and substantial insights into any security situation.
The latest enhancements to Flowmon ADS include an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) events visualisation & analysis browser update. It presents signature-based events in a unified user interface along with behaviour-based events, including drill-downs, event evidence, dashboards, and reports. The Analysis page in Flowmon ADS now prioritises insights according to the level of severity and features expanded network intelligence to help users map IP addresses to SaaS applications and platforms. Moreover, it has introduced a functionality for the detection of specific applications usage which simplifies the detection of unapproved SaaS apps and potentially dangerous applications, such as unapproved VPN software.
Commenting on the advancement, Sundar Subramanian, EVP & GM, Infrastructure Management, Progress, said, ‘Flowmon’s AI-powered contextual threat event analysis represents a giant leap forward in the battle against ever-evolving threats. By cutting through the noise and providing a cohesive understanding of the threat landscape, organisations have the necessary tools to stay ahead of cyber threats, mitigate risks, and safeguard their critical assets.’
Driven by an intelligent detection engine, Flowmon ADS applies behaviour analysis algorithms to detect anomalies hidden within network traffic. It immediately and automatically uncovers malicious behaviours, attacks against mission-critical applications, data breaches, and other indicators of compromise. These capabilities led Flowmon to win gold in the Network Detection and Response category of the 2023 Globee Cybersecurity Awards and be named a Technology Leader by Quadrant Knowledge Solutions in the SPARK Matrix: Network Detection and Response (NDR) report.
