QPoint, Inc. is a technology startup that specializes in providing visibility and control over the external services and third-party APIs that modern applications rely on. The company's platform utilizes eBPF technology to monitor application traffic, helping organizations mitigate performance issues and security risks stemming from these external dependencies. This approach offers deep insights without the latency and complexity of traditional proxy-based solutions.
The core QPoint Platform is an eBPF-powered solution designed to monitor, secure, and manage external application services. It consists of three main components: Q.Tap, a lightweight agent that captures traffic data before encryption; Q.Plane, a unified management interface with dashboards for monitoring health and usage; and Q.Control, which enables the enforcement of traffic policies to protect services and prevent data exfiltration.
The platform solves the critical business challenge of limited visibility into third-party dependencies, which can lead to unpredictable outages, security vulnerabilities, and prolonged troubleshooting. It provides engineering teams with the actionable insights needed to ensure the reliability and security of their cloud-based applications.
Customers face significant challenges with unreliable third-party services, which cause unpredictable application outages and security risks. These issues often lead to prolonged, frustrating troubleshooting cycles and a negative impact on end-user experience.
