Endace partnership with Plixer delivers enhanced deep-dive security forensics
Integration between Plixer ‘s Scrutinizer and EndaceProbe network recorders lets analysts pivot from alerts direct to
recorded packets for forensic analysis of security events
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — June 08, 2016 — Endace, a world leader in high-speed network monitoring and recording technology, today announced a partnership with
Plixer, a leading security analytics company. The partnership provides integration between Plixer’s Scrutinizer™, flow-based analysis solutions, and EndaceProbe™ high-performance Network Recorders to improve the ability for SecOps and NetOps teams to investigate network security
and performance issues faster and more accurately.
Using Flow-based data, Scrutinizer delivers deep insight into user, application and network device behavior and improves
real-time situational awareness for SecOps and NetOps teams. Scrutinizer’s built-in Flow Analytics™ performs behavioral
analysis on collected flows to identify suspicious behavior on the network.
EndaceProbes, deployed across the network, capture and record a 100% accurate record of network traffic, providing a
full, packet-level back-in-time history of network activity that is a perfect complement to Scrutinizer’s flow based
monitoring and alerting.
“The ability to pivot from high-level security alerts directly to a detailed forensic examination of packet-level data
is critical to enabling SecOps and NetOps teams to see exactly what’s happening in real-time and allowing them to
respond to events quickly,” says Endace CEO, Stuart Wilson.
Integration between EndaceProbes and Scrutinizer allows users to pivot from an event of interest in the Scrutinizer UI
directly to the related packets recorded on EndaceProbes. Packets of interest can be retrieved from the EndaceProbes
seamlessly from within the Scrutinizer user interface, allowing immediate, packet-level examination using Wireshark,
EndacePackets or other packet-level analysis tools.
“The combination of intelligent flow analysis and alerting and immediate access to a detailed back-in-time traffic
history delivers unparalleled visibility into network activity,” says Scott Brown, director of sales, Plixer. “This
integration optimizes the workflow for SecOps and NetOps teams, enabling faster, more accurate analysis, improved
response times and reduced resolution times for network security and performance issues.”
