Flowmon 12.2 Anomaly Detection System (ADS) offers new capabilities to manage the growing volume of security incidents with speed and accuracy
THE Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS), a provider of application development and infrastructure software, announces the latest version of its network anomaly detection system, the Progress® Flowmon® ADS. Flowmon ADS 12.2 harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to provide an advanced, complete view of detected security incidents, empowering cybersecurity professionals to identify those that matter, prioritize them with context, and guide better decision-making. efficient and respond quickly to identified risks.

“One of the most significant obstacles facing IT teams is the massive volume of security events and alerts, which leaves professionals struggling to extract actionable insights and prioritize their efforts effectively. Without adequate network detection capabilities or sufficient data to make decisions, organizations are more susceptible to attacks”, highlights Francisco Larez, vice president of Progress for Latin America and the Caribbean.
With the latest version of Flowmon ADS, IT professionals have quick and automatic access to an expanded range of security information. They can immediately apply sophisticated intelligence and context to identify malicious behavior, attacks against mission-critical applications, data breaches, and various indicators of compromise.
Contextual analysis of threat events addresses critical issues by examining the overall state of the network, identifying event trends and providing a complete overview. New data visualizations correlate events detected across the entire IT ecosystem (on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments), providing critical information about the most threatened devices, those with the greatest threat growth, changes in the severity of the most common incidents, and /or what are the most significant detected threats.
Flowmon ADS serves as an always-on, AI-powered cybersecurity analyst capable of identifying and summarizing the most important events and findings, providing a contextualized understanding of incidents and key insights into the dynamics of any security situation. Additionally, Flowmon ADS 12.2 offers:
- Browser updates for viewing and analyzing Intrusion Detection System (IDS) events: Signature-based events (which display patterns that correspond to known cyberattacks) are presented in a unified user interface alongside behavior-based events, including breakdowns, event evidence, dashboards, and reports.
- AI-assisted analysis and threat classification summary: The Flowmon ADS analytics page now provides summary information with actionable insights prioritized by severity level.
- Mapping applications and platforms to IP addresses: Expanded network intelligence helps users map IP addresses to SaaS applications and platforms.
- Detection of the use of specific applications: This new functionality simplifies the detection of unapproved SaaS applications and potentially dangerous ones, such as rogue VPN software.
“Flowmon’s AI-powered contextual threat event analysis represents a breakthrough in the battle against evolving threats,” said Sundar Subramanian, EVP and GM for infrastructure management at Progress. “By eliminating information overload and providing a cohesive understanding of the threat landscape, organizations have the tools they need to stay ahead of cyber threats, mitigate risk, and protect their critical assets.”
With an intelligent detection engine, Flowmon ADS applies behavior analysis algorithms to detect hidden anomalies in network traffic and instantly and automatically expose malicious behavior, attacks against mission-critical applications, data breaches, and other indicators of compromise. For this reason, Flowmon won gold in the “Network Detection and Response” category at the 2023 edition of the Globee® Cybersecurity Awards and was named technology leader in the “SPARK Matrix™: Network Detection and Response (NDR)” report, prepared by Quadrant Knowledge Solutions. Flowmon ADS 12.2 is now available. For more information access www.flowmon.com.
