Technology

Monitor any IP device — over any protocol.

If it has an IP, we can watch it. NovaSecOps speaks a wide variety of protocols — SSH, SNMP, Syslog and many more — with agentless and lightweight-agent collection, encrypted transport, credential vaulting and zero-trust by design.

Protocols

A wide variety of collection protocols

Poll it, stream it, or listen for it — pick the right protocol per device, all correlated in one platform.

SSH v2

Secure CLI checks & command collection on Linux, macOS & network gear.

SNMP v1/v2c/v3

Metrics, traps & inventory from routers, switches, UPS, printers and more.

Syslog RFC 5424

Real-time log ingestion over UDP/TCP/TLS from any device or appliance.

ICMP Ping

Reachability, latency, jitter and packet-loss for any IP endpoint.

WMI Windows

Agentless Windows telemetry — processes, services, events & hardware.

WinRM PSRP

PowerShell remoting for deep Windows checks & remediation.

NetFlow / sFlow / IPFIX

Traffic flows, top talkers and anomaly detection across the network.

REST / API JSON

Pull metrics & status from cloud, SaaS and modern appliances.

gNMI / NETCONF YANG

Streaming telemetry & config from modern network platforms.

IPMI / Redfish BMC

Out-of-band server health — power, thermals & sensors.

MQTT IoT

Lightweight pub/sub telemetry from sensors & actuators.

Modbus OT

Industrial & building systems — TCP & serial gateways.

HTTP(S) Synthetic

Uptime, SSL expiry, response time & content checks for websites.

TCP / UDP Port

Service-up checks and custom port probes for anything listening.

LDAP / AD Identity

Directory, accounts, groups & replication health.

RADIUS AAA

Authentication availability & response monitoring.

SMTP / IMAP Mail

Mail-flow, queue and deliverability checks.

DNS Resolve

Record, latency & integrity checks across resolvers.

NTP Time

Clock-drift and time-source health monitoring.

Prometheus OpenMetrics

Scrape exporters & app metrics into the same pane of glass.

JDBC / ODBC Databases

MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL, Mongo & Redis health and queries.

gRPC Streaming

High-performance telemetry from modern services.

Kafka Stream

Lag, throughput & broker health for event pipelines.

Webhooks Push

Receive events from any tool that can POST JSON.

Security technicals

Best-practice security, built in

Monitoring touches sensitive systems — so every collection path is hardened by default.

Encrypted transport

TLS 1.3, SSHv2 and SNMPv3 (authPriv) end to end. No plaintext credentials or telemetry on the wire — ever.

  • TLS 1.3 & mutual TLS
  • SSHv2 key-based auth
  • SNMPv3 authPriv

Credential vaulting

Probe credentials live in the encrypted PAM vault with per-secret policy, rotation and an append-only audit trail.

  • Vaulted, rotated secrets
  • Least-privilege probe accounts
  • No secrets in config

Agentless & agent

Choose lightweight agents for deep endpoint telemetry, or fully agentless polling — whatever fits each device.

  • Signed, auto-updating agents
  • Agentless SNMP/SSH/WMI
  • Outbound-only options

Zero-trust architecture

Every collector and agent is authenticated and authorised. Segmented, outbound-only connections keep the blast radius small.

  • Per-collector identity
  • Network segmentation
  • Policy-based access

RBAC & MFA

Granular role-based access, SSO/SAML and phishing-resistant MFA gate every action in the console.

  • SSO / SAML / OIDC
  • Phishing-resistant MFA
  • Scoped, per-site roles

Audit & data protection

Encryption at rest, tamper-evident audit logs and an on-prem or air-gapped deployment option for sensitive estates.

  • AES-256 at rest
  • Append-only audit logs
  • On-prem / air-gapped
Architecture

How collection works

01

Probes & collectors

Distributed collectors reach devices on-site over the right protocol, securely.

02

Agents (optional)

Signed agents stream deep endpoint telemetry where you need it.

03

Normalise & correlate

Everything is normalised and fed to the AI brain for correlation.

04

Single pane of glass

Metrics, logs and events land in one console — security and network together.
