Plixer One employs a suite of security measures to protect data and enhance network integrity:
Deep Network Visibility and Anomaly Detection: The platform offers extensive visibility into network traffic and user behaviors, enabling the detection of anomalies that may signal potential breaches. By analyzing NetFlow/IPFIX data, Plixer One identifies unusual patterns, such as unexpected data access or outbound traffic spikes, which are indicative of security incidents.
Advanced Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence: Plixer One integrates machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to analyze network behavior. This proactive approach facilitates the early detection of threats, allowing for swift responses to mitigate potential damage. The platform's AI capabilities enable it to predict and identify security incidents before they escalate. Plixer
User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA): The platform utilizes UEBA to monitor and analyze user behavior, detecting anomalies that may indicate compromised accounts or insider threats. By establishing baselines for normal activity, Plixer One can alert administrators to deviations that warrant investigation.
Encrypted Traffic Analysis (ETA): Plixer One analyzes encrypted traffic patterns to identify potential threats without the need for decryption. This ensures that malicious activities concealed within encrypted data streams are detected, maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information.
Secure Data Handling and Encryption: Plixer prioritizes the protection of personal information by encrypting data during transfer, striving to prevent unauthorized access. Access to personal information is restricted to selected personnel and contractors via password-protected secure servers. Additionally, Plixer's sites are secured using industry-standard TLS, ensuring that all forms submitted are transferred over a secure connection.
