Flowmon Technical Features
Instant Threat Detection
Kemp Flowmon features over 40 detection methods and more than 200 algorithms to pick up subtle changes in network traffic and expose the malicious activity of unknown and insider threats operating in the network including encrypted traffic. In addition to signatureless detection, it leverages the signature-based Suricata IDS and MISP threat intelligence feeds.
High Scalability & Long-term Storage
Small business or global distributed architectures – the scalability is limitless and always cost-effective with long-term storage access so you can benefit from weeks of historical traffic data storage without alteration to your pricing plan.
Future-Proof Technology
Business growth, the rise of traffic encryption, and the adoption of hybrid environments place challenges for NDR tools in terms of scalability, flexibility, and budgetary constraints. Flowmon is flow-based (NetFlow/IPFIX), which makes it well-equipped to cope with these challenges with zero impediment and deliver futureproof, cross-environment security that scales easily while remaining cost-efficient.
