Infrastructure Management

Just like many companies in these trying times, we too have asked many of our employees to work from home to protect their health. As a consequence of this decision, our network traffic characteristics have changed dramatically. This change comes with a variety of associated operational and security challenges.

You may have recently come across indicators of compromise (IoC), such as malicious IP addresses, which you can use to validate whether you have been affected or not. For example, a national cyber security agency can approach you to validate specific IoCs in your environment and report back to them. Flowmon can help you with this. You can simply do a retrospective analysis and proactive real-time monitoring to detect the occurrence of such IoCs.

Having or not having an encrypted traffic analysis feature in your network monitoring system makes a huge difference.
