Endace partnership with Plixer delivers enhanced deep-dive security forensics
June 2016 by Marc Jacob
Endace announced a partnership with Plixer, a security analytics company. The partnership provides integration between Plixer’s Scrutinizer™, flow-based analysis solutions, and EndaceProbe™ high-performance Network Recorders to improve the ability for SecOps and NetOps teams to investigate network security and performance issues faster and more accurately.
Using Flow-based data, Scrutinizer delivers deep insight into user, application and network device behavior and improves real-time situational awareness for SecOps and NetOps teams. Scrutinizer’s built-in Flow Analytics™ performs behavioral analysis on collected flows to identify suspicious behavior on the network.
EndaceProbes, deployed across the network, capture and record a 100% accurate record of network traffic, providing a full, packet-level back-in-time history of network activity that is a perfect complement to Scrutinizer’s flow based monitoring and alerting.
Integration between EndaceProbes and Scrutinizer allows users to pivot from an event of interest in the Scrutinizer UI directly to the related packets recorded on EndaceProbes. Packets of interest can be retrieved from the EndaceProbes seamlessly from within the Scrutinizer user interface, allowing immediate, packet-level examination using Wireshark, EndacePackets or other packet-level analysis tools.
