Apache Spot (Incubating)

Apache Spot is an open source software tool that is specifically designed to extract valuable insights from both flow and packet analysis.

This solution enables enterprises and service providers to better understand their computing environments by offering clear visibility into service delivery. Moreover, it helps identify potential security threats or attacks that could arise among resources operating at cloud scale.

Overview: With the arrival of big data platforms, security organizations can now make informed, data-driven decisions about how to protect their assets. Records of network traffic, captured as network flows, are frequently stored and analyzed for network management purposes. Organizations can leverage this same information to understand the pathways through which corporate information travels. By considering additional context such as common attacks and critical protocols relevant to the organization, the security team can create a strategy that applies the appropriate level of protection to each channel. Apache Spot offers tools that enhance companies’ ability to identify suspicious connections and detect previously unseen attacks through flow and packet analysis technologies.
