Agentless · AV-native · Built for MSPs

Security intelligence for professional AV networks

AVoIP Guard ingests standard NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow from the gear you already have—then applies AV-specific baselines and AI detection so you see risk before it becomes an incident.

  • Zero agents on encoders, decoders, or displays
  • Metadata only — no impact on Dante, NDI, or ST 2110 streams
  • MSP command center with multi-tenant risk leaderboard

Point NetFlow, IPFIX, or sFlow at your collector port and watch baselines build.

Why traditional security tools fail AV networks

Endpoint security tools were built for laptops and servers. Not for multicast-heavy, protocol-rich AV estates where a "device" might be a Dante node, an NDI bridge, or a Crestron NVX encoder with no agent slot.

Blind to AV protocols

Generic flow tools see IPs and ports—not whether traffic is legitimate Dante discovery vs. anomalous multicast fan-out.

Agents don't belong on AV gear

Encoders and signage players can't run EDR. Pushing agents creates support risk and still misses network-level behavior.

Alert noise without context

IT-centric alerts don't explain AV impact. Technicians ignore them—or escalate everything to your senior engineers.

No MSP-scale view

Per-client silos hide which customer is trending high-risk across dozens of conference rooms and retail sites.

AVoIP Guard closes the gap with flow metadata only—the same NetFlow, IPFIX, or sFlow export your Netgear, Meraki, Fortinet, UniFi, or other network gear already supports.

How it works under the hood

Four processing layers transform raw flow metadata into AV-specific risk signals—without touching a single media stream.

Detection Engine
Layer 1 · Ingestion

Receives NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow over UDP. Each tenant environment gets a dedicated collector port—clean multi-tenant isolation from day one.

Layer 2 · Classification

Traffic fingerprinted by AV protocol—Dante, NDI, ST 2110, RTSP, Crestron CIP, Extron, Q-SYS, and AMX control channels identified from flow metadata alone.

Layer 3 · Analysis

Per-environment behavioral baselines built continuously over time—including VLAN membership and traffic cadence. Daily-refreshed threat intel (Spamhaus DROP/EDROP, abuse.ch, Tor exits) cross-referenced against every flow.

Layer 4 · Risk Scoring

Findings weighted by AV context, learning-period status, and severity—then correlated across stages into a compromise narrative when a kill chain emerges. High-confidence signals surface on the MSP risk leaderboard with plain English guidance and runbook links.

Key risk signals we detect

High-confidence threats that matter to MSPs managing professional AV environments—not generic network noise.

Kill-chain correlation

Critical

We don’t just fire single alerts—we chain ordered stages into a compromise narrative. When a new endpoint, scan, and egress line up in sequence, you get one high-confidence story instead of three disconnected tickets.

High severity Elevated Behavioral

Known-malicious destinations

High

Any AV subnet device communicating with IPs from daily-refreshed threat feeds—Spamhaus DROP/EDROP, abuse.ch Feodo/SSLBL, Tor exit nodes.

Threat intel refreshed daily

Internet egress from AV endpoints

High

AV devices reaching public internet destinations—strong indicator of C2 callbacks, unauthorized firmware pulls, or data exfiltration from the AV VLAN.

Unauthorized control channels

Elevated

Unknown hosts attempting Crestron CIP, Extron, Q-SYS, Dante control, or AMX protocols—a precursor to room takeover or configuration tampering.

Beaconing to external hosts

Elevated

Periodic low-volume conversations to external destinations—the classic C2 heartbeat pattern—while excluding known-good AV timing and discovery traffic.

Unusual peer fanout

Elevated

An encoder or control processor suddenly reaching many new peers in a short window—often scanning, worm propagation, or rogue matrix routing.

Port & SYN scanning

Elevated

Post-compromise reconnaissance from the AV subnet—including stealth SYN-only probes. AV-tuned thresholds prevent false positives from legitimate wide fan-out by encoders.

Significant traffic anomalies

Behavioral

Large deviations from established behavioral baselines—extreme bursts indicating compromise or misconfiguration, tuned to ignore normal show-traffic spikes.

VLAN policy breaks

Behavioral

An AV endpoint appearing on a VLAN outside its learned set—policy drift, mispatch, or lateral movement that flat IP lists miss.

All signals are scored with AV-specific context and learning-period awareness so legitimate show traffic, multicast discovery, and normal AV behavior stay quiet.

Why AVoIP Guard catches what others miss

Three architectural choices that make these detections possible—without touching a single AV endpoint.

Agentless by design

Standard NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow from gear you already operate—Netgear, Meraki, FortiGate, UniFi. No firmware changes, no stream latency, no support risk on AV endpoints.

AV-native intelligence

Detection and baselines account for Dante, NDI, ST 2110, multicast patterns, and AV control protocols—not just "port 5353." Per-environment behavioral models with AI-assisted triage.

MSP-scale operations

Multi-tenant risk leaderboard, self-serve environment setup, plain English alerts with runbooks, and white-labeled 30-day security reports. One dashboard for every customer.

How to get started

Five steps from existing network exports to actionable AV security insight

1

Export flows

Configure your firewall, core switch, or gateway/router to send NetFlow, IPFIX, or sFlow to AVoIP Guard. No agents on AV hardware.

2

Onboard environments

Self-serve customer creation in the dashboard. Each tenant gets a dedicated UDP collector port for clean isolation.

3

Discover & baseline

We classify Dante, NDI, ST 2110, RTSP, and professional AV patterns—then build behavioral baselines per environment.

4

AI-powered detection

Anomalies—rogue talkers, unusual peers, off-hours volume—are scored with context so legitimate show traffic isn't drowned out.

5

Respond with clarity

Plain English alerts with recommended actions and linked runbooks—on your MSP risk leaderboard and per-customer maps.
