Introducing Paradrop

Continuously inspect your IT environments with confidence using cybersecurity asset data you won’t find anywhere else.

Our cybersecurity solution, Paradrop, accelerates the identification and resolution of computer network issues, ensuring compliance with standards, discovering unknown devices for better control, and reducing the window for potential threats to exploit vulnerabilities.

Easy Cybersecurity Asset Management with Paradrop

Continuously inspect your IT environments with confidence using cybersecurity asset data you won’t find anywhere else.

MetroStar Manages the Chaos

It’s hard to manage and control devices in your IT environments and networks not under your control. Paradrop takes a data-intensive approach to collect, inspect, and enrich valuable cybersecurity data you don’t see from other platforms and tools. We have the richest data, so you don’t have to worry about missing a beat.

Open-Source Integrations

Are you looking to reduce costs and drive efficiency with open-source technologies? Paradrop continues to release integrations to standard open-source technologies to bring dispersed data streams into one stream of data that works together instead of against you in an unmanageable way.

Happily Support Endpoints

Supercharge how you support your endpoints by drilling down to troublesome and vulnerable devices that can fall victim to bad actors and malicious activity. Operators and end-users shouldn’t fall victim to insufficient tools and blind spots. Paradrop helps support the lifecycle of your devices by providing advanced search, reporting, and alerting capabilities without much configuration.

Features

Robust System Data

Robust System Data

Paradrop collects installed software, running processes, network data, containers, important system configurations, and much more! We’re always adding more data at no cost to performance.

Advanced Search

Advanced Search

Search further and filter across seven different data collections: Hosts, Containers, Software, Vulnerabilities, Host Assessment, Events, Audit, and Changes.

Easy Compliance

Easy Compliance

Easily view host-based assessments, vulnerabilities, and system configurations to report and alert teams to stay ahead of compliance deadlines across all endpoints monitored.

Multiple Alert Channels

Multiple Alert Channels

Inform teams across alert channels at once. Paradrop supports Slack, Microsoft Teams, Mattermost, and Email. Enable, disable, or configure specific actions when a new event is triggered.

Customer Reporting

Customer Reporting

Create custom reports from data collected with customizable column headers. Reports can be generated for FedRamp, ATO/SSP, ISO, HIPAA/HiTrust, and other standard reporting needs for continuous security operations.

RESTful APIs for Automation

RESTful APIs for Automation

Create automation and leverage our many RESTful APIs to query and create, read, update, and delete data from trusted sources. Every UI interaction in the dashboard can be replicated using APIs defined in our documentation.

How It Works

01. Data Collection

Paradrop agents collect over 1000 data points within seconds on routine and scheduled intervals to not overload systems during critical workloads and times.

02. Data Inspection

Paradrop stack receives the data and starts inspecting the data for threat-level details, and runs through various checks and balances to ensure data is rendered accurately.

03. Data Enrichment

Paradrop stack enriches data by taking the most critical data points and cross-referencing them to known and different attack patterns for operators to make quicker decisions.

The agent uses less than 50MB of memory; typically, systems will never use more than 15MB. The agent only uses a small amount of CPU during routine data collection because of the efficient Golang runtime and safety mechanisms. Users will only see resources impacted during vulnerability or anti-virus scans scheduled during agent configuration setup.
No, but we do recommend admin/root privileges since not all data will be able to be collected. You can run the agent binary in standalone or daemon mode.
By default, we configure hardened SSL/TLS, authentication, and data-at-rest encryption. We force administrators to set up a unique username and password before the application can be run. We offer several ways to configure the Paradrop stack runtime.
By default, we chose the latest OpenSearch DB and Dashboard during setup, but Elasticsearch or compatible databases can be used. We recommend if you’re already running Elastic Stack 7.x or above, use that cluster as Paradrop doesn’t override any cluster configurations or interfere with existing indices.
The paradrop agent requires no dependencies to be installed, and open-source integrations are optional. Please review our Getting Started documentation if you choose to enable the open-source integration. The agent can be installed as a system package.
The Paradrop stack can be installed via a system package or container. We provide examples of running the stack via Docker Compose, Vagrant, and Kubernetes. We recommend customers copy our defaults and customize them based on the cluster setup and administrator preferences.
