Cybersecurity professionals and organizations in search of a security monitoring platform to detect and respond to network threats

About Malcolm

Malcolm is an open source security monitoring platform designed to help security professionals collect, process, and analyze network data for threat detection and incident response. It integrates multiple powerful tools to gather and visualize network traffic, log data, and security alerts. Malcolm’s user-friendly interface allows security analysts to easily investigate potential threats by providing detailed insights into network activity. It is designed for scalability, offering flexible deployment options across various environments, from small businesses to large enterprises. Malcolm’s modular design ensures users can customize the platform to suit their specific security requirements, while its integration with other observability tools ensures comprehensive monitoring. While Malcolm is great for general-purpose network traffic analysis, its creators see a particular need in the community for tools providing insight into protocols used in industrial control systems (ICS).

Core Network Insight
Core Network Insight
Instead of monitoring specific assets or the network itself, these security solutions constantly watch network traffic, creating a picture of what normal traffic patterns look like. With a baseline developed, NTA tools can then flag traffic abnormalities as possible security threats. Though there are multiple approaches to this, NTA tools should have some degree of analysis of anomalies to determine whether it’s a harmless abnormality, or a true threat. With network traffic monitoring, Network Insight observes device behavior in real time. It is continually capturing and correlating evidence using multiple detection engines to arrive at a verdict of "suspected" or "infected." The Case Analyzer, a context aware network traffic analysis and threat intelligence engine, confirms the infection, and a series of risk profilers assess and prioritize the infection based on the determined risk level.

GREYCORTEX Mendel
GREYCORTEX Mendel
Current network security tools leave networks vulnerable because of a lack of detection for advanced threats, lack of visibility, and a lack of integration. This means threats hide in the network, infected devices and misconfigurations go unnoticed, and analysts must switch between different platforms to stop attacks when they are finally detected. GREYCORTEX Mendel is an NDR (Network Detection and Response) solution for network security monitoring in IT and industrial (OT) networks. It combines advanced detection methods to analyze network traffic and alert you on any malicious activities, common and unknown advanced threats and network operational issues. It perfectly visualizes network communications at the user, device and application levels, enabling systems analysts and network administrators to quickly and efficiently resolve security and operational incidents.
