PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2024 / ELLIO, a provider of real-time, highly accurate intelligence for filtering of unwanted network traffic and cybernoise, and ntop, a provider of open-source and commercial high-speed traffic monitoring applications, have announced a partnership to enhance visibility into malicious traffic originating from opportunistic scans and attacks within the network traffic monitoring tool ntopng.
By integrating a highly accurate and real-time ELLIO: Feed, ntopng's users gain deeper insights into their network traffic through real-time information on sources of mass exploitation, botnet activity and opportunistic attacks, even before traditional rule-based detections are available.
In modern cybersecurity traffic analysis, the challenge is to anticipate problems before they happen. Blocklists are effective for blocking attackers, but they require high-quality, frequently updated data that is immune to False Positives.
"We've been using the ELLIO: Feed in live production, and it has proven highly effective at spotting threats. Compared to other security solutions such as IDSs, ELLIO doesn't require constant supervision and handles zero-day attacks better. Thus, we've partnered with ELLIO to bring their technology to the ntop user community," said Luca Deri, ntop founder
"Obtaining reliable and up-to-date information about mass exploits, botnets, and other widespread attacks is crucial for cybersecurity. These attacks easily disrupt normal network operations, affect service availability and performance, and overwhelm security teams," said Vlad Iliushin, CEO at ELLIO.

ELLIO: Feed improves visibility into malicious traffic originating from opportunistic scans and attacks within ntopng traffic monitoring tool
ELLIO: Feed is a threat list that is dynamically updated every minute and contains an average of up to 200,000 IP addresses currently associated with attackers, scans, and other malicious mass exploitation activities on the Internet. This database is constantly regenerated to ensure users have the most up-to-date information on emerging threats. ELLIO's threat feed is supported by a powerful combination of an extensive internet sensor network operated by ELLIO, advanced ML algorithms, and real-time data processing. This mechanism enables highly reliable and fully automated threat detection delivery.
ntopng is a network traffic monitoring tool that provides a web-based interface for real-time analysis and visualization of network usage. It helps users understand network performance, detect issues, and improve security by offering insights into traffic patterns, protocols, and active hosts.
