Deployment Architecture
Built for environments where data control
is non-negotiable
Government and DoD networks have requirements that most commercial
tools can’t meet. NFO was designed from the ground up for on-premises
deployment in high-security environments.
Sources
On-Premises Only
Software-only deployment on your own infrastructure. No cloud dependency, no SaaS component, no vendor-managed infrastructure in your data path.
Sources
Air-Gap Compatible
Operates fully in air-gapped and isolated network environments. No outbound internet connectivity required for core functionality.
Sources
Zero Data Egress
Network telemetry never leaves your environment. All processing, enrichment, and storage occurs within your own infrastructure boundary.
Sources
Linux & Windows
Runs on RHEL 7+, Rocky Linux 8+, and Windows Server 2019/2022/2025. No proprietary hardware or appliances required.
WHAT NFO DELIVERS
Full network intelligence — inside your perimeter
The same capabilities deployed at large commercial enterprises — flow processing, SNMP device monitoring, enrichment, and SIEM delivery — running entirely within your security boundary.
Network Traffic Analysis at Scale
Processes 300,000+ flows per second per instance from NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow, and J-Flow sources. Deduplicates, aggregates, and stitches flows before delivery — reducing SIEM ingest volume 80–90% while preserving full investigative fidelity.
Zero-Touch Device Discovery & SNMP Monitoring
Automatically discovers, classifies, and polls every network device across multi-vendor environments — routers, switches, firewalls, wireless controllers. No manual OID mapping, no spreadsheets. Self-heals as devices are added or replaced.
Threat Intelligence & Identity Enrichment
Enriches every flow with GeoIP location, threat reputation scores, and user identity from Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID — so analysts investigate with full context, not raw IP addresses. Enrichment data stays on-premises.
SIEM Integration — Splunk ES & Microsoft Sentinel
Delivers CIM-compliant enriched network telemetry directly to Splunk Enterprise Security and Microsoft Sentinel. Pre-built apps and workbooks provide immediate visibility without custom development.
DDoS Detection
Built-in DDoS Detector identifies volumetric attacks in real time — analyzing flow patterns to surface scrubbing recommendations and alert your SOC before impact reaches critical systems.
Compliance & Procurement
Supporting CMMC compliance and government procurement requirements
Network visibility is a foundational requirement across DoD cybersecurity frameworks.
NFO provides the telemetry infrastructure that supports
compliance — without introducing new data handling risk.
CMMC 2.0
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
CMMC requires defense contractors to demonstrate continuous monitoring capabilities and network visibility as part of Levels 2 and 3 compliance. NFO supports these requirements by delivering enriched, on-premises network telemetry — NetFlow and SNMP — to your SIEM or SOAR for continuous monitoring and analysis. No data leaves your controlled environment.
- Network telemetry delivery supporting continuous monitoring (AU family controls)
- Device health visibility across all network infrastructure via SNMPv3
- Enriched flow data enables anomaly detection in upstream SIEM and SOAR systems
- User identity correlation for access monitoring
- No CUI leaves the controlled environment — zero data egress
Government Procurement
Deployment Characteristics That Matter to Government Buyers
Federal and DoD procurement teams evaluate network tools on architecture and data handling as much as features. NFO’s deployment model is designed to meet the requirements that eliminate most commercial tools from consideration.
- Software-only — no proprietary hardware to procure or certify
- On-premises — fits within existing ATO boundary
- Air-gap compatible — no internet connectivity required
- Standard OS — runs on RHEL and Windows Server
- In production at federal agencies and DoD enterprises since 2016
- Available for technical evaluation — contact us for a scoped demo
Use Cases
How government and DoD teams use NFO
SOC / Security Operations
Enriched network telemetry for Splunk ES
Security analysts get CIM-compliant, enriched flow data in Splunk ES — with user identity, GeoIP, and threat reputation already attached. No manual lookups, no pivot to external systems. Mean time to investigate drops significantly.
Network Operations
Multi-vendor device monitoring without spreadsheets
Large government networks span Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, and dozens of other vendors. NFO’s Zero-Touch Discovery classifies every device automatically, applies the correct OID sets, and keeps the inventory current as the network changes.
SIEM Cost Management
Reduce Splunk or Sentinel ingest before it hits your budget
Government agencies on consumption-based SIEM licensing face the same raw NetFlow volume problem as commercial enterprises. NFO reduces ingest volume 80–90% before data reaches your SIEM — same analytical coverage, dramatically lower cost.
Threat Detection
Lateral movement and anomaly detection
Flow telemetry captures east-west traffic that endpoint tools miss. Enriched with user identity and threat intelligence, unusual internal connection patterns become visible in SIEM correlation rules — without packet capture infrastructure.
Compliance & Reporting
Continuous monitoring for CMMC and audit requirements
NFO’s SNMP auto-discovery maintains a real-time, self-updating inventory of your entire network estate — tracking device versions and configuration changes automatically. Supports compliance reporting without manual inventory management.
Cloud & Hybrid Visibility
Unified visibility across on-prem and cloud VPCs
For agencies with hybrid or multi-cloud environments, NFO ingests VPC flow logs from AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and on-premises infrastructure — normalizing everything into a single enriched stream for your SIEM.
