Encrypted packet metadata vs. flow/IPFIX metadata

Pages 7 Pages

In an era where encryption obscures over 90% of internet and 80% of enterprise traffic—making packet payloads inaccessible without costly decryption—Plixer leverages flow/IPFIX metadata as a superior, encryption-agnostic alternative for threat detection at the network layer. It extracts rich behavioral insights from headers like source/destination, ports, protocols, and volumes, enabling security teams to baseline normals, spot anomalies, and uncover sophisticated attacks swiftly without decryption overhead, delivering efficient visibility and faster response across encrypted environments.
