What it is
Progress Flowmon is a network and security monitoring platform for detecting threats and examining network and application performance. Flowmon ADS applies behavior analysis to traffic to expose malicious activity, attacks, data breaches, and indicators of compromise, including in encrypted traffic. Network operations tools cover visibility, troubleshooting, capacity planning, dashboards, reports, root-cause analysis, and SLA measurement. Supported flow formats include NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow, jFlow, cflowd, NetStream, and RFC formats, plus cloud-native FlowLogs from Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. Flowmon integrates with network access control, authentication, firewall, and incident-response tools, and provides a documented REST API. Collector and Probe can run as virtual, cloud, or hardware appliances, with hybrid deployment available. Progress describes scaling from small and midsize businesses to large enterprises. A free, expert-guided 30-day Proof of Concept precedes final sizing and pricing through Progress’s partner network.
