It’s a question we hear often - how to use Flowmon to block an attack? Flowmon is not an inline appliance to stand in the path of inbound traffic, so we partner with 3rd party vendors who supply equipment like firewalls or unified security gateways.

Progress Flowmon 12.4 addresses the challenges in understanding the need for faster and more efficient data analysis. At Progress, our primary focus is to provide accurate and thorough network data insights to our customers. As our customers' networks grow, the volume of telemetry data expands exponentially. This growth, while beneficial, brings with it the challenge of increasingly longer search times through vast amounts of data. Progress Flowmon 12.4 has implemented IP Indexing, as identifying the activity of an IP address on a network is one of the most common Flowmon use cases for network administrators and cybersecurity teams.  Additional details of what’s new and improved in 12.4 are available on the Flowmon release blog.

Our development teams continue to improve Progress Flowmon. The latest update takes the core Flowmon product to version 12.4, and our Anomaly Detection System (ADS) becomes release 12.4. For Flowmon 12.4, we want to highlight its newest capability: IP Indexing.

In today’s rapidly evolving cyberthreat landscape, organizations require network detection solutions that help identify and mitigate threats before significant damage is done. Among the options available on the Network Detection and Response (NDR) market, Progress Flowmon Anomaly Detection System (ADS) stands out for its unparalleled ability to detect threats throughout every stage of an attack.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is seemingly everywhere in today’s tech landscape. The hype cycle is in full flow, especially regarding the use of large language models (LLM) for generative AI like OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude. Indeed, many tech companies are determined to add LLM into products where it sometimes seems tacked on. One use case where machine learning solutions, including LLMs and other AI techniques, are providing invaluable assistance to humans, is in cybersecurity defense.
