Use Cases

01.

One tool for all monitoring

Sandfly's compatibility means one tool can watch all your Linux assets. Our built-in threat detection modules, and our active defense features like SSH key tracking, gives Sandfly extensive coverage.

02.

Embedded devices and appliances

Sandfly can run on notoriously difficult to monitor embedded devices and Linux-based appliances. Everything from the cloud to the edge can be secured.

03.

Air-gapped and sensitive networks

Sandfly does not send any data offsite for analysis by us or any other third-party. This means we work on isolated and air-gapped networks and sensitive telemetry data never leaves your control.

04.

Works with other EDR solutions

Sandfly's active threat hunting works with agent-based EDR systems and provides visibility where agents cannot go. Sandfly provides a unique and powerful second set of eyes to traditional EDR.

05.

Distribution agnostic

Sandfly is Linux distribution agnostic. If the system to be monitored runs Linux, chances are very high Sandfly can protect it with little risk.

06.

Critical infrastructure

Sandfly is trusted by critical infrastructure providers globally to protect their systems. We have a proven track-record of performance, stability, and safety in this role.
