FlowTraq by ProQSys Adds New Threat Intelligence Service to Improve Network Security Threat Detection and Alerting
Major upgrades in performance and usability speed up FlowTraq for network security professionals.
ProQSys, provider of scalable network security software for enterprise environments, today announces the
availability of the latest version of FlowTraq, its flagship product. With significantly enhanced threat detection
capabilities, version Q2/13 provides IT security and network managers with more flexibility and power to spot
deviating behaviors. It also provides automatic alerts to suspected network threats, while major upgrades in
performance and usability enable FlowTraq to take full advantage of modern multi-core architectures to evaluate
deviant behaviors in networks of any size.

FlowTraq is optimized to work in large network and multi-tenant Managed Service Provider (MSP) environments
to detect sophisticated threats through Behavioral Anomaly Detection. It uses behavioral analytics to alert IT
administrators to data leaks, compromises, spammers, botnets, worms, and DDoS attacks. FlowTraq monitors
network performance and bandwidth consumption, catalogs applications in use, and detects problematic changes
in network activity. Designed to complement and improve existing network security operations, it can be deployed
stand-alone or in a cluster, enabling it to offer its forensically accurate analytics at any bandwidth level.
“Security professionals would prefer to fully understand what happened in the time leading up to a data breach,
even if such scenario is discovered after the fact. With FlowTraq they gain this forensic insight, regardless of the
size of their network,” said Vince Berk, ProQSys. “With the latest release we further bolstered our threat detection
capabilities to help customers cope with the complexities of defending their networks, and protecting against
attacks that are increasingly more sophisticated and harder to detect.”
The technical enhancements to the latest version of FlowTraq are designed to empower both security
professionals and managed security service providers with a more detailed view of the potential network threats.
These enhancements include:
NBI Threat Management – The web interface now contains a convenient way to exploit the power of the
FlowTraq Network Behavioral Intelligence toolkit. It allows users to manage behavioral anomaly detectors, which
integrate with all modern SIEM systems, for one or more users. This allows security professionals to build
powerful detectors faster, and detect new and unknown threats sooner.
New Anomaly Detectors – A suite of behavioral anomaly detectors can baseline quantities such as session
counts, byte and packet volumes, etc. on any entity (host, service endpoint, autonomous system, etc.) for any
traffic or object. In addition, a powerful blacklist detector provides alerts on any new communications on the
network with systems on the blacklist making FlowTraq the most flexible traffic security tool in the industry.
Threat Intelligence Service – This service combines several respected sources of threat information into a list
that is constantly updated and refreshed. FlowTraq will now always be aware of the newest dangers threatening
your information infrastructure.
Security professionals can maximize the use of hardware to improve processing speed because of FlowTraq’s
complete auto-configurability, which has been optimized to make maximum use of modern multi-core
architectures. Combined with FlowTraq clustering users have virtually unlimited flow analysis capabilities, and
extended full forensic recall to customers with the highest bandwidth networks.
As part of the company’s commitment to provide the most scalable cloud platform for flow analysis, all APIs are
available publicly. A complete JSON API allows developers to build their own network traffic analysis solution on
top of the FlowTraq platform. Berk notes, “We understand that users do not always learn about the newest and
most sophisticated attacks right away. Therefore we enhanced FlowTraq to allow customers to customize and
personalize their Network Behavior Interface (NBI) detection capabilities.”
