Which means, it’s up to the generalists, or Jacks and Jills-of-all-trades, to review data and make sense of it. How does one do this?

Flowmon is not a stand-alone system used in isolation. It is part of an ecosystem of monitoring and security tools used across the enterprise. Recently, we have introduced new integrations with Splunk and ServiceNow to simplify interoperability and enable IT and security teams to be more efficient.
