Application Discovery — see what’s on the wire
You can’t secure or prioritize what you can’t see. Application Discovery identifies every app crossing the network and lets you shape it

Why it matters
You can’t secure what you can’t see
Most networks carry far more applications than IT knows about: SaaS tools signed up for with a credit card, streaming that competes with business apps, and devices quietly talking to services nobody approved. Without that visibility, it is hard to prioritise traffic or write sensible security policy.
Hermes Application Discovery identifies every application crossing the network on each edge, automatically. You see who uses what and how much, prioritise business applications with application-aware QoS, throttle the rest, and surface unsanctioned apps so you can act on them.
