India—March 18, 2026—Progress Software (Nasdaq: PRGS), the trusted provider of AI-powered digital experience and infrastructure software, today announced the release of Progress® Flowmon® 13.0, the next-generation network detection and response (NDR) platform. Purpose-built for today’s increasingly complex hybrid IT and OT environments, the Flowmon 13 platform combines advanced AI, machine learning and high-speed analytics to deliver faster detection, deeper visibility and stronger security—helping IT, security and operations teams stay ahead of modern threats.
As organizations work to maintain always-on, seamless network experiences, attackers are increasingly evading endpoint security and hiding within legitimate encrypted traffic. At the same time, they also face expanding hybrid environments, growing OT/IoT estates and persistent security talent shortages. This reality has resulted in visibility gaps and inefficiencies that have become major operational risks. Traditional monitoring tools—limited by static rules and fragmented insights—can’t keep up, leaving security teams struggling to detect lateral movement and post-breach activity.
Flowmon 13 is closing visibility gaps and changing the equation, exposing threats to security and user experience that are often missed. With a radically redesigned analytics engine, faster and more accurate detections and a new investigation framework that turns signals into clarity, Flowmon 13 delivers speed, context and confidence modern NetOps and SecOps teams need to stay ahead—not react.
“As networks grow more distributed and threats become harder to spot, customers need speed, context and confidence from their security platforms,” said John Yang, VP, Asia Pacific and Japan at Progress Software. “Flowmon 13 delivers a step-change in performance and intelligence, giving security and network teams faster answers, deeper visibility and AI-driven insights that help them detect threats earlier, respond decisively and protect both IT and OT environments without adding complexity.”
“Flowmon 13 represents a major leap in how network detection and response can be operationalized at scale,” said Sundar Subramanian, EVP and GM, Infrastructure Management at Progress Software. “By harnessing the power of AI and high-speed analytics, we’re giving organizations the intelligence and agility they need to outpace modern threats and maintain control across every layer of their IT and OT environments.”
Key enhancements in the Flowmon 13 platform include
- Supercharged performance: A redesigned backend engine delivers up to 7X faster query speeds, dramatically reducing the time required to analyze traffic, troubleshoot issues and respond to incidents. Enhanced AI-driven detection and behavioral analytics, powered by faster processing and greater resource efficiency, help teams resolve incidents in minutes rather than hours, even at scale.
- Guided, visual investigations: Analysts can build interconnected investigation paths, reuse variables across queries and pivot seamlessly between related datasets. Investigations can be saved, shared and exported—making forensic analysis faster, clearer and easier to collaborate on.
- Smarter, stream-based alerting: A modernized alerting engine uses dynamic, sliding time windows to identify behavioral patterns that static, rule‑based systems often miss. This helps enable earlier, more accurate detection while significantly reducing false positives and alert fatigue.
- Deeper visibility and richer context: Expanded protocol support, enhanced flow processing and improved enrichment provide clearer insight across cloud, IT and OT environments. Teams gain higher‑fidelity data and better context to troubleshoot faster and make more informed decisions.
- Stronger security for modern IT and OT networks: Flowmon 13 strengthens defenses with improved behavioral analytics, machine‑learning-driven detection for industrial protocols and broader protocol visibility, helping organizations protect both traditional IT and critical OT environments with greater confidence.
“The best improvement of Flowmon 13 is the new backend providing shorter query times due to multi-threading along with the new 30-second intervals that allow more granular insights into what is happening,” said Chris Welti, Network Engineer at Switch.
With AI-powered detection of cyberthreats and anomalies, Flowmon 13 delivers fast access to insights that help teams optimize performance and respond to issues across modern hybrid environments. Its market leadership is reinforced by repeated industry recognition. Most recently, QKS Group named it a leader in the SPARK Matrix: Network Detection & Response 2025 for the third consecutive year. QKS Group highlighted the platform’s technology excellence and customer impact as well as its position as a trusted, award-winning NDR platform delivering demonstrated value in today’s evolving security landscape.
Organizations rely on Progress Flowmon for advanced network performance monitoring and network detection and response, complemented by Progress® WhatsUp® Gold for foundational infrastructure monitoring. Together, these solutions deliver unified visibility into performance, availability and overall network health across hybrid and distributed environments.
