Product Overview

IntellinX is a security monitoring application that captures user activity, including keystrokes and screen data, by 'sniffing' network traffic. 2, Websphere MQ, HTTP/HTTPS, and TCP/IP. The architecture consists of a network sniffer component, a data processing component, and a data storage component.

The network sniffer captures network traffic, the data processing component analyzes the traffic and extracts user activity data, and the data storage component stores the data for analysis and reporting. IntellinX runs on Microsoft Windows and UNIX platforms and monitors activity on z/OS, z/VM, and zVSE/VSEn systems. It requires a network infrastructure that allows it to 'sniff' network traffic.

This typically involves deploying it on a server connected to a network span or tap. The system components communicate through network protocols, and data is stored in a database for analysis and reporting. Alternatives include network monitoring tools and SIEM platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does IntellinX do?

IntellinX monitors user activity within applications, capturing keystrokes and screen data. It uses network sniffing to analyze traffic from protocols like TN3270, SNA LU0/LU6.2, Websphere MQ, HTTP/HTTPS, and TCP/IP. This allows organizations to gain visibility into user actions and potential security threats.

Is this a system, application, or tool?

IntellinX is a security monitoring application. It is designed to provide detailed insights into user behavior and data access patterns within an organization's network. It is not a system-level tool or a development framework, but rather a focused application for security and compliance monitoring.

What types of organizations use this?

Organizations that need to monitor user activity for security, compliance, or fraud prevention are good candidates for IntellinX. This includes financial institutions, healthcare providers, and government agencies. Companies of all sizes can benefit, but it is particularly useful for those with complex IT environments and sensitive data.

When should we consider IntellinX?

Consider IntellinX when you need to gain detailed visibility into user activity across various applications and protocols. This is especially important when dealing with sensitive data, regulatory compliance requirements, or a need to detect and prevent fraud. If you need to monitor mainframe and distributed systems, IntellinX can provide a unified view.

What are the alternatives to IntellinX?

Alternatives to IntellinX include network monitoring tools like Wireshark, intrusion detection systems (IDS) such as Snort, and security information and event management (SIEM) platforms like Splunk or QRadar. However, IntellinX specializes in capturing user-level activity, including keystrokes and screen data, which may not be available in other solutions.
