PacketWatch
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
What it is
PacketWatch is network threat hunting software that uses deep packet analysis to help identify and contain threats before alerts occur. Passive collectors capture complete network packets, while the cloud platform analyzes packet metadata; PacketWatch says high-fidelity data remains stored locally. Machine learning and artificial intelligence analytics identify anomalies and create hunt leads, including Command and Control detections. Investigators can filter and replay activity retrospectively, build nested rules, and export PCAP captures as forensic evidence. Virtual collectors capture cloud traffic in AWS and Azure environments. The product is presented for persistent threats, insider threats, data exfiltration, Command and Control activity, and activity involving IoT, OT, and legacy devices. Integrations include CrowdStrike Falcon for endpoint telemetry and containment and Validin for threat intelligence and DNS context. PacketWatch describes SaaS Fully Managed, Co-Managed, and Self-Managed packages, with self-service deployment available. Managed packages include analyst support; Fully Managed lists 24/7 monitoring and response. Pricing requires a quote, and a 30-day trial is noted.
