Netify Intelligence
Introduction
Maintaining a robust security posture requires complete visibility into the complex data flows that define modern connectivity. Effective network intelligence is the foundation of this visibility, enabling organizations to illuminate the blind spots created by encrypted tunnels, identify the risks posed by legacy protocols, and enforce critical access controls in real time.
By continuously monitoring the technical integrity of every connection, administrators can proactively detect shadow IT, prevent stealthy data exfiltration, and ensure that the infrastructure remains compliant and resilient against evolving cyber threats.
Intelligence Detections
Encrypted DNS Detection
While DoT, DoH, and DoQ are effective tools for securing DNS traffic against eavesdropping, they create a blind spot for security infrastructure. By tunneling DNS requests through TLS, HTTPS, or QUIC, these protocols can undermine internal access controls and make it difficult for organizations to manage cybersecurity risk.
Encryption Audit
Much like locking your front door with an outdated key, relying on legacy TLS versions and weak ciphers may seem secure but leaves you vulnerable to modern decryption attacks. For organizations, continuing to support these obsolete standards creates serious risks to data integrity, regulatory compliance (such as PCI DSS), and defense against Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.
VPN Detection
While VPN technology is a staple for secure remote access, its ability to encapsulate and encrypt traffic makes it a primary vector for stealthy data exfiltration. By tunneling sensitive information through an encrypted VPN session, an insider or malicious actor can move data off-site without triggering traditional firewall alerts.
Insecure Protocol Detection
Legacy protocols such as Telnet and SMBv1 lack the encryption required for modern data protection. These services transmit credentials in cleartext, making them primary targets for ransomware propagation and lateral movement.
Tor Detection
Much like consumer VPN services, Tor protects privacy and makes it possible to prevent unwanted third-party tracking of Internet activity. However, for businesses and other enviroments, Tor can pose a threat to security, compliance, and network access control.
Cryptocurrency Detection
Effectively managing cryptocurrency applications and protocols is essential for maintaining a secure network, as it prevents the unauthorized exploitation of hardware resources and eliminates the hidden shadow IT channels that attackers use for ransomware coordination and data exfiltration.
TLS Certificate Audit
Our suite of TLS certificate drivers provides a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy by rigorously auditing the technical integrity of every encrypted connection on the network. By simultaneously detecting expired certificates, hostname mismatches, self-signed signatures, and excessive validity periods, these drivers eliminate the primary blind spots associated with outdated or fraudulent encryption.
Unencrypted Credentials Detection
The real-time detection of clear-text credentials is essential for uncovering insecure applications and internal systems that lack modern TLS encryption, enabling administrators to address critical security gaps before malicious actors can exploit them.
