By analyzing wire data at speeds up to 100 Gbps, Reveal(x) 360 transforms raw network packets into structured operational intelligence without agent overhead. Reveal(x) 360 features line-rate decryption of TLS 1.3 traffic, allowing security analysts to inspect encrypted communications where modern malware hides. Leveraging cloud-scale behavioral machine learning, the platform automatically detects ransomware staging, internal credential theft, and command-and-control beacons, triggering automated endpoint isolation via CrowdStrike Falcon.
