Discussing of LLM and Intelligent Monitoring at GRNOG 20
Earlier this week ntop attended the GRNOG 20, the annual meeting of Greek Network Operators. This has been a great place to discuss about network visibility in large networks, understand what are the problems network operators face with, and see what ntop can do in terms of visibility. ntop has been traditionally a company based on opens open source, and this has been the location where we have demonstrated how ntopng has been enhanced with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), ASN and infrastructure visibility. One of the main topics of the …

Introducing ntop SBOM (Software BOM)
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a formal, machine-readable inventory that lists every component, library, and dependency included within a software application. Think of it as a digital “ingredient label” that tells you exactly what went into building the software, which versions are running, and where each piece originated. Typically, it documents: SBOMs are increasingly becoming a legal requirement. For instance, governments and strict regulatory frameworks (e.g. the U.S. Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity and the EU Cyber Resilience Act) mandate that software vendors provide SBOMs to …

June 9th: Join us for the ntop AI Webinar
Artificial intelligence is now a mature technology that is changing everyday life. Observability and cybersecurity are not an exception. This webinar explains the ntop vision on using AI, what we have done, and what is the direction we have in mind. Main topics include: We’ll open with a short session on running LLMs locally — why it matters for ops teams, and how local open models like Qwen make this possible without sending your network data to third-party clouds. This is network intelligence that stays on your infrastructure and explains …

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Analysis
Modern digital security relies on public-key encryption (like RSA and ECC) to protect global data. The future arrival of a Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC) will completely break these mathematical foundations. To counter this, organizations must migrate to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) — new, math-based algorithms deployed via standard software that quantum computers cannot exploit. The PQC migration requires to protect data “at rest” (i.e. static data stored on physical drives, databases, cloud storage, or backups) and “in transit” (i.e. data transmitted on computer networks, including HTTPs and VPNs). In the latter case quantum …

May 21st: You’re invited to Observability and Large-Network Monitoring Webinar
Is your network a “black box,” or do you have the granular clarity needed to stay ahead of modern traffic demands? We are excited to announce an upcoming two-part webinar focused on the latest enhancements to nProbe and ntopng. These updates are designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in network monitoring, moving beyond simple statistics into the realm of true, high-fidelity observability. Here is what we will cover: Part 1: High-Resolution Observability Standard monitoring often misses the “micro-bursts” and transient issues that cause performance bottlenecks. We’ll demonstrate how our new enhancements …

Merging ntopng Asset Inventory with Wazuh
Wazuh is a free, open-source security platform that combines SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) capabilities. It is primarily used to monitor endpoints, cloud workloads, and containers to detect threats, ensure compliance, and respond to incidents in real-time. Integrating Wazuh with ntopng creates a powerful security layer by bridging the gap between host-based and network-based monitoring. The core value of this integration lies in comprehensive visibility. While Wazuh excels at monitoring what happens inside a machine, ntopng excels at monitoring what happens between machines. …

HowTo Enable Passkey in ntopng
Passkey authentication is a passwordless sign-in method that allows you to log in to websites and apps using the same way you unlock your device—such as a fingerprint, face scan, or a screen lock PIN. It is designed to replace traditional passwords entirely, offering a significantly more secure and faster experience. In ntopng, it can be enabled to implement a multi-factor authentication method. Passkey will only work if selected conditions are met: Similar to MFA, you can enable Passkey in the user’s configuration page. As Passkey is a kind of …

Observing nDPI from the Inside: Introducing USDT Tracepoints
by Ivan Nardi One of the recurring challenges when embedding the nDPI library into a production application is answering a deceptively simple question: what is nDPI actually doing right now? You know packets are coming in, flows are being classified, and risks are being flagged — but at what rate? With what latency? Are some protocols taking longer to classify than usual? Is that CPU spike caused by a wave of TLS flows, a flood of DNS queries, or something else entirely? Your application or monitoring backend probably already exports …
