ExtraHop takes top security award

Johannesburg, 23 Sep 2019

The ability to rise above the noise created by increasingly complex hybrid network architectures, multi-stage attacks, siloed tools, and the sheer volume of traffic required for digital businesses is critical when searching for a network detection and response tool.

ExtraHop was selected earlier this month by TechTarget's SearchServerVirtualization.com as the Security category winner in the Best of VMworld 2019 U.S. Awards for this reason. The award recognises the industry-leading cloud-native network detection and response capabilities ExtraHop Reveal(x) delivers for the modern hybrid enterprise.

Commenting on the award at last week’s Gartner ITXPo in Cape Town, ExtraHop security expert Jamie Moles said: “Reveal(x) is the only product to decrypt SSL/TLS traffic in real-time, out of band, enabling improved security analyst productivity through automated discovery across the hybrid attack surface, full-spectrum detection, and one-click guided investigations for incident response.”

Local distributor Corr-Serve represents ExtraHop in South Africa and hosted the product on their exhibition stand at Gartner. “Bringing award-winning and cutting-edge solutions to the South African market is exciting,” says Corr-Serve’s Wade Gomes. “Network threat detection and response is a relatively new area and we’re happy to be able to offer the latest technology in this regard.”

The latest award is one of many the company is racking up in the newly recognised category of network threat detection.

ExtraHop has been awarded "Best AI-based Solution for Cyber Security" from AI Breakthrough Awards Program, 2019 Fortress Cyber Security Awards for Software and Application Analytics, JMP Securities 2019 Elite 80 List, Cyber Security Excellence Awards, and Cyber Defense Magazine's InfoSec Awards – all this year.
