Expanding Network Security Together: LiveAction Acquires CounterFlow AI

We are thrilled to announce that LiveAction is acquiring CounterFlow AI to bring together the best Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics (NPMD) and cutting-edge Network Detection and Response (NDR) for enterprise customers!

This acquisition will enable LiveAction’s current and future end customers and channel partners with a unified network performance monitoring and diagnostics (NPMD) platform that incorporates encrypted traffic analysis for security incident detection and response. The combined platform will streamline previously siloed network operations (NetOps) and security operations (SecOps) workflows, using common data, platform integration and improved visualization to increase the speed and efficiency with which organizations manage network and security events.

The level of encrypted traffic analysis and actionable insight complements LiveAction’s existing monitoring capabilities and supports more effective network and security management. For instance, NetOps teams analyzing network or application performance issues can more easily access security intelligence to detect or rule out cyber-attacks as the root cause. Conversely, SecOps teams will have access to deeper network, device and application analytics that can improve threat detection, correlation, and response. Overall, the integrated solutions will enhance NetOps and SecOps teams’ productivity, efficacy, and speed when it comes to detecting and resolving incidents.

CounterFlow AI is a Network Detection and Response Vendor that has a highly differentiated approach to traffic analysis for encrypted traffic via their streaming machine learning engine and deep packet dynamics capabilities. Their customers benefit through enhanced visibility into network traffic, automated alert triage, threat intel integration, increase analyst effectiveness and reduced MTTR.
