Improvements to the Progress Flowmon product family continue, and we are pleased to announce the release of Flowmon 13.1. The latest 13.1 release builds on the strong foundations we laid in Flowmon 13. Headline enhancements include a rebuilt visualization layer, automated investigation workflows and a set of AI-assisted capabilities in the Flowmon Anomaly Detection System (ADS). And the Flowmon team is eager to share how your team can utilize these new capabilities.

Numerous best practices help to deliver robust cybersecurity. Adopting these will involve combining many of the technologies already outlined in the previous entry.

A newly analyzed threat, Chrysalis, is a sophisticated backdoor attributed to the Chinese APT group Lotus Blossom. The malware employs advanced evasion techniques including heavy obfuscation, API hashing, dynamic DNS resolution, custom encryption and stealthy C2 communication disguised as legitimate traffic.

Cybersecurity refers to the processes and technology used to protect information technology networks, data, people, servers, endpoint devices and other IT-related systems from cyberattacks. The need for this protection has never been greater. All organizations (in both private and public sectors) now exist in a threat landscape that allows attacks against their IT infrastructure.

Log management and Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions are closely related but offer different layers of visibility. Rather than overlapping, they complement each other, together providing a connected view of what’s happening in your environment. How exactly? Let’s take a closer look.

At Progress, we continue to develop and enhance the Progress Flowmon product family. The latest update brings the core Flowmon product to release 13.0, and it includes remarkable performance improvements, strengthened security and expanded protocol support. Full details of what’s new and improved in the latest release are available on the Flowmon product page. In this blog, we’re excited to highlight the newest features and improvements to the Flowmon solution.

We recently delivered a webinar titled IT/OT Convergence: Proactive Threat Detection for Industrial Control Systems (also available via Brighttalk).
