Theory of Operation

Sandfly provides agentless security for Linux. It does this with an innovative approach: Sandfly securely connects to endpoints, deploys investigative code modules (called sandflies), and then obtains results.

Forensic Investigator

Results show either that the system is compromised in one or more ways or that there is no evidence of compromise.

Automated Security

When you configure schedules, the platform runs constantly on your network using random schedules and a random selection of sandflies to hunt for threats on your Linux systems, functioning as a high-performance security investigator that searches for anomalies. If anything suspicious is detected, the result includes detailed forensic data, like an expert forensic investigator would collect, to reveal exactly what is happening on the remote system.

On-Demand Investigation

Additionally, Sandfly can be used as an on-demand security investigator. During an incident, use it to search numerous Linux hosts for signs of compromise or launch spot checks on suspected systems to collect evidence of potential malicious activity.
