About ExtraHop

ExtraHop sells RevealX, a platform that brings NDR, NPM, forensics, and IDS together. ExtraHop turns network traffic into real-time context for analysts and AI agents. RevealX combines NDR, network performance monitoring (NPM), intrusion detection (IDS), and network forensics in a single platform. NDR, short for network detection and response, is a category of cybersecurity solution that ingests and analyzes network traffic to detect suspicious activity and understand security risks and exposure.[1][2][3][4]

RevealX NDR is focused on cybersecurity, and RevealX NPM is focused on performance. RevealX NDR detects potential cyber threats across the attack surface, and RevealX NPM monitors potential network and application performance issues. The RevealX platform enables users to integrate modules for Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Packet Forensics with a scalable packet capture (PCAP) repository. IDS and Packet Forensics modules are add-on modules to the RevealX platform’s core NDR module and cannot be purchased as standalone products.[1][3]

IDS can be deployed and managed from the same RevealX NDR sensor. Sensors with restricted access receive health and rule updates through automated cloud updates. Packet Forensics provides packet-level visibility to investigate the severity and scope of activity in multi-cloud or hybrid networks.[5]

RevealX NDR can decrypt SSL/TLS (including TLS 1.3), NTLM, Kerberos, and SMBv3 network traffic. RevealX NDR decodes 90+ protocols, including SMBv3, Kerberos, Active Directory, and MSRPC. RevealX NDR combines real-time detection of the latest CVEs with continuous behavioral machine learning. ExtraHop creates structured records from raw network packets and transports those records to ExtraHop Cloud Services. RevealX uses ML models to baseline performance and behaviors and to spot anomalies, unexpected changes, and risks. RevealX sensors discover and profile every device, user, and application and analyze over 5,000 metrics. RevealX provides information on weak ciphers and expiring certificates, and offers manual triage or AI-powered Smart Triage.[3][7][8]

RevealX sensors receive network packets via port mirroring, physical and virtual network taps, SPANs, and aggregation switches. RevealX sensors are not in-line like a firewall. RevealX sensors passively ingest traffic at up to 100 Gbps. RevealX sensors range from virtual sensors for AWS, Azure, and GCP to physical sensors designed for full 100 Gbps line rate high-speed networks. The RevealX platform consists of sensors, recordstores, and a console for centralized management and unified data views. RevealX can be self-hosted or cloud delivered for use in public networks to air-gapped environments, with physical and virtual sensors available. RevealX NDR can be deployed in on-premises, remote, and cloud environments.[1][3][7]

RevealX NDR can be purchased directly from ExtraHop, through channel partners and distributors, or via listings on marketplaces such as the AWS Marketplace. RevealX NDR is available as a managed security service via partners such as Binary Defense. ExtraHop has integrations with vendors including CrowdStrike, Splunk, Netskope, AWS, Microsoft, and Gigamon. RevealX can use the CrowdStrike Falcon agent for push-button response from ExtraHop detections. RevealX was designed to combine with tools like EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and SASE. RevealX NDR data can be sent to data lakes.[3][7][8]

RevealX can discover unmanaged OT devices like PLCs, RTUs, and IEDs without installing agents. RevealX decodes 90+ protocols, including native DNP3 and Modbus, at speeds up to 100 Gbps. ExtraHop offers a credit-based system for professional services, including implementation assistance, training, integrations, support, and more.
