Faddom is an agentless application discovery and dependency mapping (ADM) platform for hybrid IT infrastructures, including on-premises, cloud, and containerized deployments. Deployed as a virtual machine, the system passively analyzes network traffic to discover assets and their runtime dependencies without requiring endpoint agents, credentials, or firewall modifications. It generates and continuously updates real-time visual topology maps and an asset inventory, detailing interactions between servers and applications, including traffic flows, ports, and protocols. The platform can operate with all data contained within the host environment to support secure or isolated networks.
The platform's technical purpose is to provide infrastructure visibility to support IT operations, security, and strategic planning. Its capabilities are applied to cloud and data center migration planning, change impact analysis, resource optimization, and business continuity and disaster recovery planning. Security applications include microsegmentation planning, attack surface mapping, and identifying risks such as unauthorized communications. The system's data can enrich CMDBs, and it utilizes artificial intelligence for functions like traffic anomaly detection.
