Intrusion detection offered as cloud package by Metaflows
Network security monitoring startup MetaFlows launched a new Software-as-a-Service product that can be installed on low-cost hardware to monitor network traffic flow, detect possible intrusions and analyse event logs.
The MetaFlows Security System (MSS) is composed of local software agents that can run on inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware and a cloud-based service where the results are stored.
The local MSS sensors capture network events and transmit the corresponding data to the company's cloud system where they get analysed and sorted by priority. Customers can inspect the results using a secure web interface. The sensors can be deployed as standalone appliances or they can be installed on the customer's existing hardware using a Linux-based software package that contains proprietary and open source technology.
