RESTON, Va. - Aug 8, 2017 - MantisNet, the leading provider of real-time cyber security monitoring and intelligence appliances, announced today the release of its Virtual Programmable Packet Engine (vPPE).
“A primary challenge in today's virtualized cloud environment is the need to continually monitor data real-time and make accurate decisions based on analytics provided by cyber security tools,” said Peter Dougherty, CEO of MantisNet. “We have solved this challenge by creating the vPPE to decode, extract and convert unstructured data into actionable intelligence to give your cyber security team a better solution based on real-time captured traffic.”
MantisNet's release of its vPPE introduces a better form of network traffic monitoring compared to traditional analytics tools that use data-at-rest and monitoring based on stale information instead of current, real-time data-in-motion. The vPPE is geared towards cloud and virtualized environments and gives SecOps, IT and DevOps teams a convenient and ideal way to deploy network sensors in a containerized and virtual environment.
Like most enterprise environments, compliance with regulatory standards is also a concern. MantisNet vPPE is compliant with main regulatory standards, including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FISMA, DFARS, GDPR, ISO 27001:2013 and GPG-13. The appliance is also compatible with a broad variety of protocols including GTP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP, and TLS. Real-time data is converted to metadata in JSON format that can then be sent to any cyber security analytic software.

MantisNet vPPE vs. Traditional Network Monitoring
Traditional network monitoring uses algorithms that set a baseline on data-at-rest. The challenge for cyber security is that this data is often outdated and doesn't provide an accurate picture of network traffic in real-time. MantisNet vPPE is an in-memory compute engine that provides programmable metadata for streaming real-time analytics on data-in-motion.
An enterprise can programmatically search and extract details from network traffic, payloads, and protocols and deliver more efficient serialized metadata that can then be sent for consumption in analytics software such as Splunk, SAS (ESP), Software AG (APAMA), SAP (HANA), and TIBCO. MantisNet's vPPE is easily deployed and configurable with common APIs and a broad set of tools.
