Network Flow Monitoring
In the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, businesses must stay ahead of potential threats. A network traffic monitor is an essential tool for detecting and preventing cyber attacks, such as malware, data breaches, and unauthorised access. By analysing network traffic in real-time, businesses can identify and address these threats before they cause significant damage.
FoxTech’s network traffic monitoring solution offers seamless integration with your existing networking stack and real-time analysis, ensuring that your network remains secure and your operations stay uninterrupted.
What Is a Network Traffic Monitor?
By continuously monitoring traffic patterns in real-time, it becomes possible to identify abnormalities that may indicate cyber threats, such as malware, unauthorised access attempts, or network vulnerabilities.
As part of FoxTech’s managed services, our analysts actively monitor network traffic, detecting potential threats early and investigating suspicious activity on your behalf. This proactive approach helps maintain a secure IT environment and ensures the reliability of your network infrastructure.
FoxTech’s monitoring tools provide IT managers and decision-makers with actionable insights, ensuring that security concerns are swiftly identified and addressed without placing the burden on internal teams.
Why Is a Network Traffic Monitor Important?
The value of a network traffic monitor extends far beyond simply tracking data flow. Here are some of the key benefits of using a network traffic monitoring solution:
Detecting Threats Early
By monitoring traffic in real-time, a network traffic monitor can identify suspicious activities such as unusual data transfers, failed login attempts, or malware infections. These early alerts give your security team the chance to take action before a threat can escalate.
Enhancing Network Security and Performance
Network traffic monitoring not only detects potential security threats but also provides a valuable record of network activity. Keeping detailed logs of network connections such as which devices
have connected and what communications have taken place is crucial for investigating security incidents and minimising their impact.
These records serve as a vital audit trail, helping organisations trace suspicious activity, respond effectively to cyber incidents, and even investigate potential insider threats. By maintaining comprehensive visibility over network traffic, businesses can strengthen their security posture and improve incident response capabilities.
Proactive Risk Management
With real-time alerts and traffic analysis, businesses can proactively manage network risks. By detecting vulnerabilities early, network traffic monitoring reduces the risk of cyberattacks and helps prevent costly security breaches.

Data Collection
FoxTech’s network traffic monitoring begins by collecting data from several key sources:
Network Devices & Firewalls: By integrating with network devices, we can gather flow data using Syslog protocols delivered securely via IPSec VPN.
AWS VPC Flow Logs: Our platform collects data from cloud services like Amazon Web Services to monitor activity in virtual private clouds.
Cisco Umbrella Logs: We integrate DNS, proxy, and firewall logs from Cisco Umbrella to provide a unified view of network activity. DNS traffic can also be collected using the FoxTech DEFEND DNS protective DNS service.
Threat Detection
Using the power of FoxTech DEFEND, we employ advanced analytics and threat intelligence to detect abnormal network activity. This includes monitoring traffic patterns, spotting connections to known botnet command and control servers, and identifying risks such as unauthorised access attempts or malware infections. The platform uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to continuously improve its detection capabilities.
