Plixer LLC has announced a significant update to its Plixer One observability and defense platform, introducing new capabilities designed to eliminate modern network blind spots. The enhancements include deep integration with the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ (ZTE) to provide visibility into encrypted tunnels and cloud environments, alongside the general availability of the Plixer AI Assistant. These features empower IT and security teams to work more efficiently, accelerate troubleshooting, and reduce manual effort across complex hybrid infrastructures.

This helps accelerate incident response and maintain productivity.
Unlocking Visibility in a Zero-Trust World
As enterprises transition from traditional VPNs to more secure zero-trust architectures like Zscaler, maintaining comprehensive network visibility has become a major challenge. The new integration between Plixer One and the Zscaler ZTE solves this by combining enriched NetFlow/IPFIX data with ZTE logs. This provides NetOps and SecOps teams with a unified, contextualized view of traffic, even within encrypted tunnels, enabling faster troubleshooting and more effective security incident response.
"Business success increasingly depends on a scalable, hybrid, and multi-cloud IT infrastructure," said Tom McNamara, CEO of Plixer. "Unhindered network visibility is essential for sustaining digital transformation, strengthening IT resilience, and reducing business risk while keeping the workforce productive... With implementations of ZTE, enterprise IT teams can now leverage Plixer One to confidently maintain end-to-end network visibility even when encrypted connections obscure traffic connectivity."
Streamlining Operations with an AI Assistant
The update also marks the full release of the Plixer AI Assistant, which was first previewed at Cisco Live. This AI-powered feature allows users to interact with the Plixer One platform using natural language queries. By simplifying complex navigation and report generation, the assistant helps users of all experience levels work more effectively and reduces the manual effort required for daily tasks.
"This is about increasing usage, removing guesswork, and helping every user, no matter their experience level, work faster, and more effectively," said Paul Piccard, CTO of Plixer.
These new capabilities reinforce Plixer's commitment to delivering a comprehensive observability and defense platform. By providing clear visibility into zero-trust networks and leveraging AI to streamline workflows, Plixer One enables organizations to strengthen their security posture, optimize network performance, and ensure a seamless experience for all users.
