ExtraHop Makes its Security Status Official with Reveal(x)

ExtraHop rolled out its first pure-play security product, Reveal(x). The new product builds on the company's earlier performance management software that uses machine learning to provide real-time insights into network behavior. It analyzes wire data that ExtraHop picks up, and automatically discovers, classifies, and prioritizes all devices, clients, and applications on the network. Reveal(x) then uses machine learning to produce insights and detect anomalies. Relying on log data, which is self-reported, "has historically been a challenge" to security analysts, said Matt Cauthorn, VP of security at ExtraHop.
