In
the enterprise, slow time is the new downtime, and performance and security
issues are now existential threats. Even as enterprises demand more speed,
scale, and functionality, IT has lacked the visibility it needs to ensure
consistent performance and security. With ExtraHop 7.0, organizations can
accelerate remediation of performance and security issues by visually
identifying and investigating anomalous behavior; answer audit and compliance
questions via visual representations of device communications and dependencies;
monitor PFS-encrypted traffic at scale so that organizations don’t have to
choose between security and visibility; and easily share relevant data and
insights across multiple teams.

New features in ExtraHop 7.0 include:
- Live activity maps: With
live activity maps, ExtraHop delivers a complete 360 degree visualization
of the entire IT environment, from on-premises to the cloud. Moving beyond
static block diagrams or simple network topology maps, live activity maps
enables IT
operations and security teams to accelerate investigations by exploring a
visual map of all device and application communications, including
real-time and historical views. Users can zero in on incidents and
anomalies by filtering or excluding devices, and drill down into the
transaction records with one click. Live activity maps also support
business-critical initiatives like cloud migration, datacenter
consolidation, and regulatory compliance. - ExtraHop Decryption Suite: ExtraHop
now extends SSL decryption capabilities to support PFS, the emerging
standard for privacy and security encryption. With
first-to-market PFS decryption capability, security teams can implement
best-in-class security and compliance measures without compromising
critical visibility for network and IT operations teams. - Addy security anomalies: ExtraHop Addy now automatically detects and alerts on
more types of suspicious behavior, including network scans, data
exfiltration, and unusual file server access. - Anomaly-initiated workflows: ExtraHop Addy’s machine learning detects and alerts on
performance and security anomalies automatically, leveraging ExtraHop Open
Data Stream technology to enable rapid incident response and remediation.
With anomaly-initiated workflows, users can automate the response to
alerts for specific events in ServiceNow, Cisco
Tetration, and other third-party systems. - Click here to learn about

“In most organizations, IT operations and security
operations operate as two distinct units. The objectives of these two units are
often distinct, so the alignment of processes to include network forensics as
part of the security incident response is critical,” wrote Gartner analysts Sanjit
Ganguli and Lawrence Orans in their November 16, 2016 report titled “Network
Performance Monitoring Tools Can Play a Critical Role in Responding to Security
Breaches.”
