Google Cloud Operations, formerly known as Stackdriver, is relatively new to the observability space. That being said, its position in the GCP ecosystem makes the platform a serious contender. Let’s explore some of the key ways in which Google Cloud Operations differs from Coralogix, a strong full-stack observability platform and leader in providing in-stream log analysis for logs, metrics, tracing and security data.
In this article, we explained the benefits of combining signature-based detection by Suricata IDS with behavior-based detection by Flowmon ADS. Now, let’s talk about how to enable this feature using Flowmon Probe and Flowmon ADS.
Network detection tools utilize one of two prominent approaches for threat detection: AI-driven behavior-based methods capable of identifying early indicators of compromise, and signature-based ones, which flag known attacks and common CVEs. While these systems operate on distinct principles, their combination forms more robust defense mechanism, helps to consolidate tools, provides richer threat context and improves compliance.
