Financial Services

Your customers trust in you for secure transactions, accurate accounting, and locked-down data. Are you still banking on legacy monitoring to protect them? Today’s network teams need comprehensive, granular visibility across the entire infrastructure. They need the power to see the big picture, drill deep, discover vulnerabilities, and alert on any anomaly. Kentik gives you all that and more, so you can trust your network to safeguard your business.

“Kentik’s solution has given us a breakthrough level of visibility that puts us in far better control of the complex network and Internet traffic delivery factors that impact our service delivery.”
Scott Martin, VP Technical Operations, AppNexus
“
“Kentik gives us a level of visibility within our infrastructure that we just didn’t have before, and which we didn’t find in any other approach that we considered or evaluated.”
Steve Dejong, Network Architect
“
“The way Kentik displays and visualizes traffic and the intuitive UI make it easy for our teams to pick up anomalies and drill into investigations. Using Kentik’s built-in sharing tools, our security team can quickly direct our network team to what they’re looking at, and the network team can instantly view the same issue and data. With that kind of collaboration, the teams can more quickly triage and resolve both network and security incidents, which has led to an overall reduction in our mean-time-to-investigate (MTTI) and mean-time-to-resolve (MTTR).”
Lee Chieffalo, Senior Network Engineer, Viasat
“
“Our team is able to focus on the data, rather than focusing on trying to support the underlying components of our old system. Users are able to manipulate the data in ways that help them get to the data they are looking for.”
Senior IT Network Analyst, Global Financial Investment Management Firm

Solutions for Financial Services

Insights & Alerting

Today’s huge, enterprise networks carry gigabits or terabits of traffic. The volume of alerts and potential network problems continues to grow, false alarms mask real problems, and network teams struggle to keep pace. Kentik’s ML-based detection engine finds problems that might be missed with traditional tools and generates insights that help network teams prioritize issues by impact and importance.

Benefits:

Simplify monitoring with built-in, zero-configuration detection
Discover emerging network events before they affect customer experience
Triage and prioritize events to reduce resolution times (MTTR)

Network Troubleshooting

Resolving network problems and mysteries is challenging—especially with today’s complex networks that span both traditional and cloud infrastructure. Kentik’s distributed architecture keeps all the data that teams need to understand what’s happening on the network and why. Powerful visualizations and a modern UI allow teams to navigate to details quickly and easily.

Benefits:

Determine affected applications, services and users
Find root causes using guided troubleshooting steps
Minimize MTTR and business impact of network problems

Network Cost Analytics

As networks expand, costs for bandwidth and other network resources grow along with ever-increasing traffic volumes. However, predicting those costs has been difficult. Network managers must understand complex service provider billing models in addition to accurately measuring traffic volumes at hundreds or thousands of interfaces across the network. Kentik’s cost analytics workflow dramatically simplifies this task by combining provider billing models with real traffic measurements to produce dollars-and-cents figures that make cost prediction simple.

Benefits:

Understand the drivers of overall network spend
True up provider invoices and discover billing errors
Eliminate billing surprises with automatic cost forecasts

DDoS Defense

Kentik includes the industry’s most accurate detection of DDoS attacks and other anomalies such as large-scale data exfiltration. Multi-level thresholds escalate threats as they develop, and built-in integrations enable automated triggers for internal or third-party mitigation.

Benefits:

Detect and defend up to 50% more attacks* (TechValidate 2017 Customer Survey)
Eliminate false positives/negatives and decrease response time with automatic ML-based traffic profiling
Visualize attack characteristics and network impact
Trigger automatic mitigation actions including RTBH, Flowspec, and external mitigation hardware or services

WAN/SD-WAN

Gain deep insight into actual WAN / SD-WAN traffic delivery to optimize end-to-end performance, defend against DDoS attacks, and drive network automation. Learn more.

Benefits:

Improve user experience
Ensure success of new SD-WAN implementations

Hybrid/Multi-Cloud

Get a single-pane view of traffic flow across your entire app stack, regardless of whether components are deployed in one or more private, public, or hybrid clouds, or are provided across the Internet by CDNs or as API-accessible services. Zoom in for high-resolution details of individual flows, and out for holistic views of overall service health and user experience.

Benefits:

Understand service dependencies between new and old infrastructure
Plan and benchmark application migration projects
Plan capacity investment by seeing volume trends between on- and off-net service locations
