Scalable log collection
Collect event and flow information from hundreds of third-party devices, including intrusion prevention systems (IPS), switches, routers, servers, workstations, identity and authentication systems, vulnerability assessment scanners, and more.
Instant access to data
Preserve and store all details of parsed and correlated events in a highly indexed database for fast retrieval and analysis.
System-wide threat detection
Correlate events collected by other distributed receivers to detect larger incidents.
Flexible deployment options
Make highly distributed deployment easier and more cost effective with virtual appliances.
