Core offering

NetFlow Logic sells the NetFlow Optimizer (NFO), a software platform that ingests, deduplicates, aggregates, and enriches network flow data (NetFlow v5/v9, IPFIX, sFlow, J-Flow) plus cloud flow logs (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle OCI) and infrastructure telemetry (SNMP, Model-Driven Telemetry) before delivering high-fidelity, context-rich events to SIEM and observability platforms. The product is modular, with add-on modules for SNMP monitoring (Basic and Pro tiers), DDoS detection, network conversation stitching, top traffic, and distributed deployment via NFO Central, and is licensed primarily through enterprise subscriptions with multi-year contracts.

Product overview

NetFlow Logic is a technology company providing the NetFlow Optimizer (NFO) as its core product — an intelligent data engine for network visibility that processes, enriches, and reduces massive volumes of network flow and telemetry data. NFO serves as a platform with a modular architecture: it ingests flow data (NetFlow v5/v9, IPFIX, sFlow, J-Flow, cloud flow logs) and infrastructure telemetry (SNMP, MDT) through a configurable pipeline of processing Modules, enriches data via the External Data Feeder (EDFN) with GeoIP, threat intelligence, cloud metadata, and user identity (Active Directory, Okta, Entra ID), and outputs high-fidelity intelligence to SIEM and analytics platforms. The product portfolio includes the core NetFlow Optimizer engine, SNMP Monitoring (offered in Basic and Pro tiers), over a dozen specialized processing Modules (Network Conversations, Top Traffic, DDoS Detector, SNMP Pro, SNMP Traps, Auto-discovery Reporter, TCP Health, DNS, CBQoS, Network Subnets, Cisco AnyConnect, Asset Access, Services Performance), native platform apps for Splunk, Sumo Logic, and Splunk ITSI, and the NFO Central distributed load balancing feature for clustered deployments. The company targets enterprise and government organizations seeking to reduce SIEM ingest costs by 80-90% while gaining actionable network intelligence.

Products and services

• NetFlow Optimizer (NFO) Core intelligent data engine that ingests, deduplicates, aggregates, and enriches massive volumes of network flow and telemetry data (NetFlow v5/v9, IPFIX, sFlow, J-Flow, cloud flow logs, SNMP, Model-Driven Telemetry) before delivery to SIEM and analytics platforms, reducing data volume by 80-90% while adding GeoIP, threat intelligence, cloud metadata, and user identity context. Processes 300K+ flows per second per instance with horizontal scalability. Sold via multi-year subscriptions to enterprise and government buyers.
• SNMP Monitoring (Basic and Pro) Zero-touch infrastructure telemetry add-on for NetFlow Optimizer that auto-discovers network devices, identifies vendor and role via sysObjectID, and applies correct SNMP OID profiles. SNMP Basic is included with the NFO license (SNMPv2c, manual device entry); SNMP Pro is a paid tier adding SNMPv3 AES-256C encryption, automated IP range scanning, multi-group device classification, user MIBs, and custom OID sets for vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, UPS, and printers.
• DDoS Detector Module Real-time DDoS detection module that classifies every incident into 31 specific attack types using six Analytical Experts and a Correlator. Produces confidence scores (0-100) with tiered alerting for high/medium/low confidence events and emits Abated status when traffic returns to normal. Designed for SOCs and NOCs operating large internet-facing networks.
• Splunk App for NetFlow Optimizer Native Splunk application and Technology Add-on (TA-netflow) that delivers security analytics dashboards, ITSI integration, network monitoring, and a dedicated DDoS Detector App for Splunk Enterprise, providing a turnkey consumption path for enriched flow data inside Splunk.
• Content Pack for Splunk ITSI Splunk ITSI content pack that integrates SNMP and NetFlow monitoring data into Splunk IT Service Intelligence for service-centric visibility, enabling correlation of network performance with business services.
• Sumo Logic App for NetFlow Optimizer Native Sumo Logic application that streams enriched flow data into Sumo Logic for cloud-native security analytics and compliance reporting.
• NFO Central Distributed deployment management feature (preview introduced in v2.12.0) that uses a dynamic load balancing algorithm to distribute incoming traffic across NFO cluster nodes based on real-time flow rate, automatically rebalancing when nodes join or leave the cluster. Targets enterprise customers operating distributed or highly scaled NFO deployments.
• Asset Access Monitor (Module 10014) Security module that monitors traffic to selected services (IP address, port, protocol) and matches communications against authorized peer lists expressed in CIDR notation, reporting unauthorized access attempts to the SIEM for audit and response.
• External Data Feeder for NFO (EDFN) Enrichment engine component that supplies threat feeds, GeoIP, user identity (Active Directory, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID), cloud metadata, and cloud flow log ingestion from AWS VPC, Azure NSG/VNet, Google VPC, and Oracle OCI to the NFO pipeline, enabling context-rich flow output.
