Endpoint protection has long been fundamental to cybersecurity. But in today’s evolving and expanding digital landscape, with endpoints spanning a wide variety of devices, is traditional endpoint security enough? The ongoing frequency of successful cyberattacks suggests not. Cloud proliferation, remote work and expanding system access add to the challenge. Can you truly trust users to keep their devices secure amidst this shifting landscape? And can augmenting endpoint security with additional tools, like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, enable reliable detection of threats? According to attack data and experience, your cybersecurity stack may require something extra. And that something is Network Detection and Response (NDR).

From the perspective of network administrator and operator, the fundamental requirements for network applications are the same regardless of the environment they are running in. They need to have their network communication fast, reliable and secure. To meet these requirements, we need to have relevant data about the application traffic. For this purpose, the flow data from Progress Flowmon Probes fits greatly with a slight difference in comparison to the flows generated in a standard network. It is necessary to correlate the flow data with particular network applications or services running in Kubernetes (k8s). For this purpose, we use k8s metadata rather than relying on IP addresses, as pods are regularly created and destroyed meaning that the traffic for a specific application can be made up of many different IPs in a short period of time. It's also likely that the same IP address will be associated with multiple applications in a limited period of time.

Progress was awarded an honorary certificate for Workforce Culture, while Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer Dr. Shirley Knowles received the Mosaic Award.

Progress ranked alongside 13 other evaluated vendors in the Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Platforms by Gartner.

In honor of International Women’s Day, Progress will open the application process for two Women in STEM scholarships on Friday, March 8.
