About Scrutinizer

Scrutinizer is a network monitoring and analysis appliance that collects, interprets, and contextualizes data from every digital exchange to deliver network intelligence and security reports. The system consolidates network metadata from existing infrastructure into a unified database through dynamic correlation, scaling to process millions of flows per second via an intuitive web interface.

  • Operational efficiency - Reduces NetOps and SecOps complexity with actionable insights from raw flow data via context-aware visualizations and real-time updates that quickly identify root causes.

  • Comprehensive monitoring - Delivers accurate statistics covering bandwidth, application, and user utilization with proactive thresholds, alerts, and DDoS attack detection.

  • Intelligent analysis - Leverages AI-backed ML Engine capabilities for threat and anomaly detection with open RESTful APIs for streamlined event response.

  • Advanced integration - Seamlessly combines with other Plixer products to provide targeted functionality for specific environments.
