ExtraHop is a cloud-native cybersecurity and network intelligence platform known for its RevealX solutions. It provides real-time network detection and response (NDR), network performance monitoring (NPM), intrusion detection (IDS), and packet forensics. It analyzes network traffic across on-premises, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments to help enterprises identify hidden threats, configuration errors, and performance bottlenecks.

How ExtraHop Works

  • Passive Ingestion: Hardware or virtual sensors collect traffic through SPAN ports, TAPs, and supported cloud mirroring services such as AWS VPC Traffic Mirroring and Azure vTAP.
  • Protocol Decoding: The platform processes network packets in real time and decodes supported protocols to generate structured network intelligence.
  • AI Analysis & Mapping: Machine learning analyzes network behavior, maps assets, assesses risks, and correlates suspicious activity.
  • Alerting & Forensics: SOC and NOC teams receive alerts and investigate suspicious activity using packet-level evidence.
