Product Overview

Luminet is a security monitoring solution that provides detailed insights into user activity within applications. 2, WebSphere MQ, HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP/IP. This allows organizations to track user interactions, detect potential security threats, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

The architecture of Luminet consists of several key components: the network sniffer, which captures network traffic; the data processing engine, which analyzes the captured data; the storage database, which stores the analyzed data; and the user interface, which provides access to the data. These components communicate using standard network protocols. Luminet integrates with existing security systems, such as SIEM platforms, by forwarding security events and logs.

It also integrates with user authentication systems to correlate network activity with user identities. The system supports authentication methods such as Active Directory, LDAP, and local user accounts. It uses role-based access control (RBAC) to manage user permissions.

Encryption is used to protect sensitive data in transit and at rest. Alternatives include IBM Security QRadar and Splunk, but Luminet distinguishes itself with its focus on application-level monitoring, including specific mainframe protocols.
