Stealthwatch Customer Testimonial

We particularly like the user association with the stitched and deduplicated flows. Secondly, we like the long term storage capability of the flow data, that allows us to perform back-tracing analysis.

Stealthwatch Provides Insight into Security Threats

Stealthwatch gives great insight into security threats. I have not run across another product like it that is able to combine security with network visibility.

Network Administrator, Medium Enterprise Computer Software Company

Stealthwatch Accelerates Incident Response

The design and implementation of the solution fits perfectly within my firm. The ability to use both deep packet inspection and netflow in order to monitor performance helps us respond quickly to events on the network. The platform is very stable and the ability to keep data for a year is absolutely critical when we are trying to research an event.

IT Manager, Large Enterprise Professional Services Company

We compared Stealthwatch to other vendors in our selection process. We decided that Stealthwatch provided more value per dollar than the other vendors. Stealthwatch’s user interface makes it easy to investigate problems on the network.

Stealthwatch Makes Sense of Security Data for Cisco

Stealthwatch works well with Cisco netflow in order to give us a holistic picture of the network. It is practical to use for a very small security team to get a handle on what is happening on a large network because it allows us to group and build out profiles which actively reduces the amount of raw analysis.

Stealthwatch for Network Troubleshooting

Drilling down into the traffic flows has helped for our network team to reduce the amount of time it takes to troubleshoot an issue.

IT Manager, Educational Institution

Stealthwatch enables us to check on a network security policy’s effectiveness by helping us see what kinds of traffic have traversed the network.

Security Officer, Medium Enterprise Banking Company

Stealthwatch has helped our organization tremendously with regards to the visibility of user traffic. It also helps us determine whether an infected host is contacting a C&C host or various external hosts. Additionally, it has provided our organization with indicator alarms, which were non-existent prior to implementing Stealthwatch.

Senior IT Architect, S&P 500 Insurance Company

Stealthwatch makes identifying a DDoS or DoS attack fairly easy. It allows us to interact with other systems for automated mitigation.

Security Officer, Educational Institution

We were able to increase our visibility in all of our remote offices by adding a single flow sensor to each location. We can now monitor network performance and security events using one platform. We typically use Stealthwatch to remediate events generated both from within Stealthwatch and from our IDS. The ability to search a name or IP address enables us to identify and locate the source of an issue very quickly.

IT Manager, Large Enterprise Professional Services Company

Stealthwatch has allowed us to profit from existing flows (which were used for network administration in a security context) while also reducing staff requirements. A few problems we’ve had have been staff numbers, adding new capabilities, and reducing incident response times without loading staff.

Engineer, Federal Government

Stealthwatch for Network Visibility

Stealthwatch provides visibility into the activity in the soft chewy center, which we didn’t previously have.

IT Director, Non Profit

Stealthwatch Secures the Pan AM Games

With over 150,000 user (BYOD) devices connected to the network during the Toronto2015 PANAM Games we relied heavily on Stealthwatch to help us understand what was happening on the network and where the threats were coming from. It helped us in many instances make the decision whether to simply notify a user or disconnect them from the network. As with any multi-sport game or large event that is broadcast live, time and high availability are critical.
