Elastiflow: Observing the hazards within network data flows

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Elastiflow offers a specialized NetSecOps analytics solution that enriches real-time network data for users of security and observability platforms, providing context for internal risky behaviors and external threat exposures.

Most SIEM platforms and observability data pipelines were built to ingest logs, metrics, and traces emanating from servers and application components. Such system events are very useful to track, but there’s even more ground truth available within the millions of packets a second flowing over networks. 

However, making something useful out of a flood of network data isn’t easy for teams already dealing with alert fatigue, and search efforts still need to respect regulatory requirements and micro-segmentation policies. 

Elastiflow normalizes voluminous netflow data, applying metadata on the fly to provide global risk heatmaps as well as pinpointing local port and suspect traffic sources to provide detailed insights for NetSecOps teams. Enriched data also feeds real-time data streams and analytics dashboards for non-network experts who may be concerned with the overall enterprise risk landscape and network health.
