What type of incidents is Flowmon primarily used to identify?

Flowmon is primarily used to identify cybersecurity breaches in operational technology (OT) environments due to its specialized capabilities in monitoring network traffic and analyzing data flows. OT environments are critical as they integrate physical processes with networked systems, making them particularly vulnerable to cyber threats.

Flowmon’s technology focuses on deep packet inspection and behavioral analysis, allowing it to detect unusual patterns and anomalies that may indicate unauthorized access or attacks on these systems. This is crucial for safeguarding industrial control systems and other OT components that are integral to infrastructure and production processes.

While the other types of incidents are also serious concerns in the cybersecurity landscape, Flowmon's design and operational focus make it best suited for detecting incidents specific to OT environments. This specialized approach sets it apart from tools that might address physical breaches, malware infections, or social engineering, which typically require different detection mechanisms and considerations.
