About Plixer
Elevating IT Operations to ensure the power of the network
Today, the IT infrastructure is essential to all aspects of business operations for organizations and enterprises of all sizes, both large and small. Our ability to connect with customers, deliver products and services, collaborate across different business functions, drive innovation, and engage with the community heavily relies on the processes, applications, and practices supported by a wide array of connected components within a hybrid network environment. As the digital ecosystem becomes increasingly complex, it is crucial to ensure comprehensive visibility so that networks can meet expectations and support business success.
Plixer empowers network and cyber security professionals by ensuring deep observability into the state of the network. This includes understanding network traffic— where it’s going, why it’s traveling there, and identifying potential risks and areas of great concern— as well as offering controls to optimize a global ecosystem.
We expose every aspect of your network infrastructure and defend it too
