Kentik

Kentik is a network observability and traffic intelligence platform designed to ingest, enrich, and analyze vast volumes of network telemetry across public clouds, on-premises data centers, WAN backbones, and internet service provider networks. Built to eliminate network blind spots in complex hybrid environments, Kentik ingests massive telemetry streams including NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow, SNMP, cloud flow logs (AWS VPC, Azure, Google Cloud), BGP routing tables, and synthetic performance testing data into a distributed real-time big data engine. The platform enriches raw flow records with business context, application tags, geolocation metadata, threat intelligence feeds, and DNS details, allowing NetOps and SecOps teams to query billions of network transactions within sub-second response times. Kentik provides comprehensive traffic analysis, capacity planning, cost management for cloud egress transit, and automated anomaly detection that uncovers DDoS attacks, botnet traffic spikes, unauthorized data exfiltration paths, and BGP routing hijacks. The platform features Kentik Synthetics, enabling proactive testing of cloud service endpoints, SaaS applications, and network latencies before network degradation impacts end users. By offering AI-powered network insights, interactive topology mapping, and automated alerting integrations with Slack, PagerDuty, and ServiceNow, Kentik enables network engineers and enterprise security professionals to maintain optimal performance, bulletproof network security, and flawless connectivity across hybrid infrastructure.
