Singapore – Progress, a software development firm, has recently announced the latest updates to its network observability platform with AI-powered detection for cyberthreats and anomalies and fast access to actionable insights. This solution, called Progress Flowmon, is designed for greater network and application performance across hybrid cloud ecosystems.
With the recent update, the platform boosts IP search efficiency by ten times, introducing advanced IP address indexing that allows network administrators to quickly track network activities tied to specific IP addresses. This enhancement significantly shortens the time for data analysis and troubleshooting, ensuring strong protection and superior network performance.
“For many IT teams, retrospective analysis while hunting for threats amidst growing volumes of telemetry data can be time-consuming, especially in large and complex networks. In the ever-shifting terrain of cybersecurity, the urgency to resolve network performance and security issues rapidly—within moments—is paramount,” said Sundar Subramanian, EVP and general manager, infrastructure management at Progress.
“With the addition of IP Address Indexing in Flowmon, IT professionals can perform near-immediate searches to process IP address data swiftly, gaining critical insights essential for quick troubleshooting of their networks,” he further shared.
Additional features also encompass enhanced usability and streamlined workflows, allowing Flowmon to set IP Conversation as the standard selection for the most important statistics, delivering instant insights into network interactions.
Meanwhile, the analysis chart has also been updated to allow selectively switching network performance monitoring metrics on or off for a more customised and relevant view of data. Improvements to the monitoring centre, dashboards, and reports now include new application icons for external IP addresses and enhanced visibility for denied IP addresses flagged by Flowmon ADS blacklists.
Furthermore, the update will introduce flexible event reporting via Syslog messages over TCP, ensuring precise and dependable event notifications to specific IP addresses. This enhancement speeds up data processing and issue identification.
John Yang, vice president for Asia Pacific and Japan at Progress, said, “With the growing number of cyberthreats globally, including in the Asia Pacific and Japan region, coupled with the increasing volume of data on the networks, businesses want the right tools in place to be able to resolve any cybersecurity and network issues immediately.”
“The introduction of IP address indexing in Flowmon enables IT teams to track activities in the network and accelerate the search of threats in the network tied to a particular IP address. This provides businesses and IT teams with confidence that their network is well guarded, he concluded.
