Delivering cost effective visibility into virtual environments:

The adoption of virtualized servers in IT infrastructures is becoming widespread in all industries and there are many benefits of virtualization including improved use of networked systems, cost reduction, and simplified management. Virtualization, however, presents additional challenges when implementing strong security controls, such as being able to monitor the traffic traversing virtual environments, that cannot be addressed with traditional monitoring technologies.

Visibility is key to securing any network, including virtual environments. QRadar's VFlow delivers advanced security intelligence in virtual environments by providing application layer visibility of all virtual network traffic. In concert, QRadar, Q1 Labs flagship security management solution, and VFlow provide organizations with an easy to use, cost effective, security management solution for securing a virtual network.

QRadar VFlow features:

• Improved visibility of industry leading virtual technology
• VFlow provides layer 7 visibility for VMware ESX and ESxi virtual environments; enables the profiling of over 900 applications out-of-the-box

Cost effective application layer monitoring:

• VFlow runs as virtual host software on the virtual server, not requiring additional hardware
• Vflow can analyze port mirrored traffic for a physical network switch which helps bridge the gap between the physical and virtual realm

Efficient virtual network monitoring:

• Provides network and application visibility in both existing and emerging virtual networks
