Overview

At Armor we provide security value, data accessibility, visualizations, and dashboarding for your flow collection requirements. We are able to provide insights into packet count, quantity of data, and security rules which are specific to flow format collection. In addition, the Armor Anywhere Log and Data Management platform is able to store and search native source format logging while processing SIEM events into supported netflow formats.

Many flow collection and ingestion techniques exist and could be supported by the Armor platform, please speak to sales if you don't see your platform below.
