Enhanced Network Monitoring with Progress Flowmon

Ensuring that networks and the applications they enable are performing as well as they should is a full-time and challenging task for system administrators. We've all encountered scenarios in which end-users complain that an application is slow. Then the network team says it's not their problem, and the development team (or third-party application vendor) also says it's not their problem either.

Kemp Flowmon ADS and Check Point Integration: Automated incident detection and response

We have recently published a script for the integration of the Anomaly Detection System (ADS) with a Check Point firewall. This ensures automated threat detection and response where attackers are blocked from accessing the network resources and causing even further harm. The previous integration with Fortinet describes a way of stopping the attacker at the perimeter. The following use case is largely the same, except with a Check Point firewall instead.

What to Look for in a Network Traffic Visibility Solution

As company infrastructures now sprawl across several different environments, additional tools need to be added to the portfolio. But adhering to the traditional approach of focusing on individual devices, their health, performance, and availability, only aggravates its downsides; i.e. visibility blind spots, tool disparity, and therewith connected “swivel-chair” management. The problem calls for increased network traffic visibility that does not come at the cost of extra work.

User Identity Awareness with LoadMaster ESP and Flowmon

In one of the previous blog posts from the load balancing education series, we discussed the Edge Security Pack functionality to provide an additional layer of security in front of an application workload to ensure that only properly authenticated users can interact with the application. In this role, the LoadMaster acts as a gateway for the application and handles user authentication through a third-party identity provider such as Microsoft Active Directory.
