ExtraHop
Network detection and response platform providing real-time visibility and threat detection.
About
ExtraHop operates as a leading network detection and response (NDR) platform that delivers comprehensive visibility into network traffic and security threats. The company's cloud-native and on-premises solutions serve enterprises seeking advanced threat detection capabilities beyond traditional perimeter security tools.
The platform captures and analyzes network communications in real-time using wire data analytics and machine learning algorithms. ExtraHop Reveal(x) provides automated threat detection, investigation workflows, and response capabilities across hybrid cloud environments. The solution decrypts and inspects encrypted traffic without requiring agents or network modifications.
Key technical capabilities include behavioral analytics that establish baseline network patterns and identify anomalous activities. The platform integrates threat intelligence feeds and custom detection rules to identify advanced persistent threats, insider threats, and lateral movement patterns. ExtraHop's approach focuses on detecting threats that bypass endpoint security and perimeter defenses.
Enterprise security teams utilize ExtraHop for incident response, threat hunting, and compliance monitoring across complex network infrastructures. The platform supports multi-cloud deployments and provides visibility into east-west traffic between cloud workloads. Security operations centers leverage the solution's automated investigation features to reduce mean time to detection and response.
ExtraHop distinguishes itself through its emphasis on network-based detection rather than endpoint-focused approaches. The platform's ability to provide retrospective analysis allows security teams to investigate historical network activities and understand attack timelines. This capability proves particularly valuable for forensic investigations and compliance requirements.
The solution integrates with existing security information and event management (SIEM) systems, security orchestration platforms, and threat intelligence services. ExtraHop's APIs enable custom integrations and automated response workflows within established security operations frameworks.
Organizations across healthcare, financial services, government, and technology sectors deploy ExtraHop to enhance their network security posture. The platform addresses the growing need for visibility into encrypted traffic and cloud-native application communications that traditional security tools often miss.
