Infrastructure Management

Regardless of where you work in IT you’ll be familiar with the problem of alert fatigue and dealing with the endless streams of telemetry, alerts and notifications. While it’s often the background to daily tasks this is never more visible than when dealing with a time sensitive incident such as a critical outage or a security breach. In this post we’re going to look at how Flowmon Anomaly Detection System (ADS) can help you quickly and accurately identify essential details of a security breach that cuts through the noise and allows you to respond to the incident and mitigate the root cause with confidence.

Network Detection & Response (NDR) is a key element that provides an additional level of security across the company wide network through detection of threats that bypass traditional security measures and materialize in the company’s digital environment. Progress Flowmon ADS (Anomaly Detection System) is a typical representative of an NDR system that combines various detection techniques to ensure that malicious activity is recognized and flagged as a security incident.

In the previous “Flowmon and WhatsUp Gold: Discover application experience issues through single pane of glass” blog post we have demonstrated how IT Infrastructure Monitoring (WhatsUp Gold) and Network Performance Monitoring & Diagnostics (Flowmon) work seamlessly together to report on application performance, user experience and infrastructure status. The goal is to support IT professionals with valuable insight into performance degradation issues enabling quick recovery and restoration of requested service levels.
