ExtraHop Reveal(x) Valuable Features

Jordan Swanson - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Security Assurance Engineer at School District of Lee County

Reveal X integrates seamlessly with CrowdStrike. If you see something sketchy on the network, you can quarantine devices through ExtraHop and it'll push to the CrowdStrike server.

It's a ton of data. CrowdStrike looks at anything that's on the machine and the network. Instead of having hard points on your network core switches with some antivirus on it or your firewall or rules at your internet service provider or things managing your cloud for access control, this lets you see actual traffic and it's a little bit more fluid in what you're allowed to see.

I like their dashboards. It has machine learning, and it has great analytics for security, network, and microservice performance.

Out of the box, with very little configuration, it does more than all the other tools. The features that other vendors promise to be available within six months to a year of purchase are already available in this product.

ExtraHop Reveal(x) is very easy to use and intuitive. ExtraHop Reveal(x) can pick up threats without any customization on the threat detection when none of my other tools can pick up. I've been told to make my other tools work how ExtraHop Reveal(x) works. I'm trying to get my SIEM to perform the way ExtraHop does out of the box.

For example, we're starting to ingest our DNS logs to be able to pick up on something that's called DNS tunneling. ExtraHop picks it up in the middle of it. My SIEM, however, didn't have the log. So, I have to work with the server team. It's been two-plus months trying to get those logs up and running, but I am still not there yet. The other tool I have didn't tell me for almost 24 hours.

ExtraHop was able to pick it up in the middle and detect there's DNS tunneling. ExtraHop Reveal(x) is one of the tools that works out of the box when it comes to threat hunting.

With ExtraHop Reveal(x), it gives me more visibility into the packets. It doesn't provide the entire packet capture, but it offers more information on how connections are made at the network layer. This can be helpful for detecting network attacks. Additionally, I really like the customizable dashboards and reports. The incident dashboard and alerts provide a good summary initially, and diving deeper into them gives more detailed information. It's also great for analyzing specific attacks and victim logs. The feature that tracks the full attack chain makes it easier to monitor the progress of attacks. Plus, it's connected to the Netria.com app, which I find useful for certain tasks.

We had useful information within the hour of deployment. The ability to trace back for historical analysis, as well as the behavioral analysis done with the security information, puts the user in a position to make an informed decision to mitigate the performance or security incidents. Regarding the security incidents, Reveal (x) is able to create incident cards that guide your teams through the incidents and gives you the option to delve into the transaction detail to potentially view payloads as well. The ability to integrate with various other solutions enables improvement in existing processes.
