caplon by Consistec is a network monitoring, detection, and response platform designed to provide visibility into IT, OT, SCADA, IoT, and VoIP infrastructures. It analyzes network traffic in real-time by performing lossless data capture at speeds exceeding 100 Gbit/s in environments such as 5G networks and data centers, utilizing FPGA-based hardware and nanosecond-accurate timestamps. The system combines deep packet inspection, machine learning, and both signature-based (IDS) and behavior-based (NDR) analysis to identify technical disruptions, performance degradation, anomalies, zero-day exploits, and known cyberattacks without requiring endpoint agents.
The platform consists of modular components for network recording, service monitoring, intrusion detection, and VoIP analysis. Its VoIP capabilities include monitoring call quality metrics like MOS and jitter via SIP and RTP stream analysis, alongside real-time telecommunications fraud prevention by tracking signaling protocols such as SIP, ISUP, and Diameter. For forensic and root-cause analysis, the system supports distributed tracing and drill-down diagnostics. Privacy protection is integrated through pseudonymization of sensitive personal and infrastructure data during recording and analysis, and the platform facilitates compliance with automated reporting and incident management features.
