ntopng 5.0 Is Out: Modern Traffic Monitoring for AIOps and Cybersecurity

ntopng was initially designed as a tool for realtime network traffic monitoring. The idea was to create a DPI-based tool able to report traffic statistics. Overtime we have added the ability to implement active monitoring checks, SNMP, and various other features. However there was a fundamental point that was missing: go beyond traffic reporting, moving towards traffic analysis. The current Grafana-like trend of having several large screens full of dashboards is the opposite of what we believe we should do. This approach requires network and security administrators to be trained …

Introducing ntopng for MacOS. Finally.

For a long time out MacOS users asked a native ntopng package. Even though we use MacOS and Linux to develop our tools, we didn’t consider important to revamp the MacOS installer (ntopng 1.x has a native MacOS installer) as there are solutions such as brew.sh that allow you to install packages. However such tools are not for all Mac users who not necessarily like to use the command line. Thus we have created a native package that installs in one click all the required components (e.g. Redis) needed by …
