NIKSUN Once Again Achieves U.S. Department of Defense Information Networks (DoDIN)
Approved Products List (APL) Status
Princeton, NJ, November 7, 2023 – NIKSUN® Inc., the world leader in developing real-time and forensics-based
cyber security and network-to-application performance monitoring solutions, is pleased to announce that thelatest iteration of the company’s ground-breaking data analytics platform has been awarded placement on theDepartment of Defense Information Networks (DoDIN) Approved Products List (APL). This certification includes key
NIKSUN products such as NetDetectorLive, NetVCR, NetOmni, and all current NIKSUN hardware platforms. The
conferring of APL status validates that NIKSUN's cyber security products are tested and approved for use ingovernment operational networks and marks the second time in a row NIKSUN products have earned such adistinction.
To be included on the DoDIN APL, products must receive Interoperability (IO) and Information Assurance (IA)certification from the U.S. government after satisfying rigorous testing requirements. Multiple NIKSUN products,
including NIKSUN’s release of NikOS Everest (5.0), NetDetector, and NetOmni, have maintained APL status since
2016.
Nik Pruthi, President and CFO of NIKSUN, Inc., says the awarded APL status indicates that NIKSUN has earned thetrust of the most demanding customers, including federal agencies, in accordance with the highest industry
standards. “The criteria for APL acceptance is incredibly stringent,” Nik explains. “APL placement demonstrates
NIKSUN’s commitment to creating solutions that are not only innovative and powerful, but also ultimately secure,stable, proven, and effective. That we’ve been able to sustain our placement on the APL year after year illustrates
how NIKSUN continues to raise the bar for performance, quality, and reliability in our industry.”
This year, the APL award criteria required passing a total of 665 individual security tests, including two newcomponent tests for database and application servers, making the requirements even more demanding than inprevious years. Overall categories of testing included access control, auditing, identity and authentication,configuration, and encryption in motion and at rest.
The latest APL certification covers all of NIKSUN’s new hardware platform line-up. Every model in the new offeringis all-in-one, meaning you don’t need multiple, separate chassis for data collection, processing, alarming, analytics,management, and so on – a feature that sets NIKSUN apart from typical network analytics devices. Critically, thenew NIKSUN models can also ingest every type of data – packets, logs, flows, and device metrics (SNMP) – into asingle appliance. The highly scalable array of platforms provide robust network-to-application cybersecurity,
performance monitoring, and compliance solutions for everything from small offices to large data centers.
NIKSUN's NetDetector is the world's first packet-capture-to-disk appliance for cyber security. NetDetectorLive is the
only solution that integrates packet capture, metadata generation, real-time indexing up to Layer 7, IDS (signatureand anomaly), malware analytics, content-based alerting, and much more. NIKSUN’s NetVCR provides seamlessservice and application performance analytics for maximum visibility into your on-premises, cloud, or hybrid

environments. NIKSUN's NetOmni provides a holistic view that works across a network of networks, providing
