Uncover Network Blind Spots with Plixer One 

In Part 2, we examined how network blind spots arise in today’s increasingly complex IT environments.

Now, in this final part, we’ll discuss how Plixer One is purpose-built to eliminate those blind spots.

Doing something about blind spots doesn’t have to be a challenge.  Plixer One makes it easy to analyze the data between certain segments in a network that seem “hidden” to your monitoring tool. Plixer One is a purpose-built network observability platform designed to eliminate blind spots and provide IT network and security teams with real-time, actionable insights to plan, predict, and maintain the secure, high-performing network infrastructure the mission requires.  With Plixer One, IT can take steps to unveil blind spots today and as the network expands and changes tomorrow.  

Here is how Plixer One ensures blind spots are revealed. 

Collects Data from every point in the network 

Plixer One brings the entirety of the network into view, ingesting data from the rich set of devices, systems, and components underpinning the evolvingly complex network infrastructure – across all switches, routers, load balancers, network hubs, nodes, servers, access points, security solutions, and SD-WAN. It ingests over one million data flows per second amassed from more places in the network than any other tool on the market. With Plixer One, IT teams can effectively gather and correlate insights from network flow logs of even small systems without coordination issues or common challenges of directing, requesting, and achieving collective tasks amidst complicated shared data ownership. 

Provides Multi-faceted Network Monitoring from a single view 

Plixer One is a single source of network truth, offering total observability of all traffic from multiple perspectives to ensure zero blind spots. The approach surfaces issues deep in the network and enhances your understanding of the state of the network more efficiently and without affecting service quality. With a “single pane of glass,” Plixer One enables Network Operations (NetOps) and Security Operations (SecOps) teams to know more – observing traffic, assessing the network’s health and overall security posture for every connection, digital interaction, and exchange across the infrastructure. The unmatched visibility saves time in getting to the root cause of network outages, congestion, and threats that affect data, applications, services, and the network itself.  It is the only tool that ensures advanced monitoring across all network elements, within and connecting to virtualized environments, campuses, data centers, and more for comprehensive network oversight without the need to pivot between multiple monitoring tools. 

Ensures Real-Time Traffic Analysis and Visualization 

Plixer enables IT to automatically perform in-depth analysis of network data using comprehensive traffic analytics and advanced AI in real-time. In milliseconds, IT can see and understand discrete changes in traffic partners, and activities that may jeopardize performance or security. It immediately surfaces traffic bottlenecks and anomalies and ensures a thorough understanding of causality, data flows, network behavior, and attacks underway. Further, IT teams can easily visualize data flows across hybrid and multi-cloud environments using Plixer One or their preferred SIEM or reporting tool, ensuring that all transactions—regardless of origin or destination—are in full view with indicators of hidden issues and concerning network performance, as it happens.  

Leverages the power of AI to identify Network Anomalies 

Plixer One leverages advanced machine learning and AI algorithms to analyze network behavior and detect anomalies that could indicate security risks or performance degradation. Automated anomaly detection enables IT teams to receive alerts about unusual patterns, such as unexpected traffic spikes or changes in data flow, helping them investigate and address issues before they escalate. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and reduces the potential for undetected security incidents. 

Integrated Security and Compliance Support 

Plixer One supports security and compliance efforts by providing IT and security teams with the tools needed to monitor traffic, detect suspicious traffic and behavior on the network, and maintain audit trails. Plixer simplifies efforts to validate security controls, fill the gaps in protection, and ensure compliance with regulatory and industry standards. Detailed reporting and customizable dashboards allow organizations to document network activities and demonstrate compliance with standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. 

Conclusion 

Network blind spots pose significant risks for today’s complex, distributed networks, potentially impacting performance, security, and compliance. To safeguard operations, reduce vulnerabilities, and enhance network efficiency, organizations need more than basic visibility—they need comprehensive network observability. With Plixer One, businesses can gain the full-spectrum visibility required to monitor data flows, detect anomalies, and respond proactively to threats across their entire network, from on-premises systems to cloud environments and remote endpoints.
