ExtraHop Tech Stack
Network detection and response platform analyzing traffic for threat detection
ExtraHop builds a network detection and response (NDR) platform that analyzes traffic behavior to surface threats. The stack spans Python, Go, C/C++, and Kubernetes on AWS/Azure/GCP, with deep network tooling (Wireshark, tcpdump, Scapy) alongside modern observability (Prometheus, Grafana). Active projects reveal a product split between infrastructure (kernel drivers, sensor scaling, data migrations) and security operations (ML anomaly detection, custom signatures, investigation workflows), while pain points center on real-time threat detection, database scalability, and reducing mean-time-to-investigate — suggesting the platform is scaling horizontally across sensors but hitting architectural limits on query and storage.
