Investigate inside the mission boundary
Keep packet storage, deterministic processing, model routing, evidence review, and reporting within the approved deployment profile.
Enterprise packet investigation · Defense and public sector
Combine deterministic packet processing, offline security evidence, local-model investigation, explicit coverage, and defensible reporting for disconnected or controlled environments—subject to deployment qualification.
Connected and disconnected acceptance must verify authentication, processing, inference, reporting, updates, and explicit failure—not infer air-gap readiness from hosted success.
Security and availability
PacketSafari complements live monitoring and endpoint controls. It investigates captured traffic after an alert, outage, exercise, or escalation.
Keep packet storage, deterministic processing, model routing, evidence review, and reporting within the approved deployment profile.
Combine Suricata-compatible signatures, behavioral C2, DNS tunnels, covert channels, aggregate scans, and configured offline intelligence.
Correlate east-west traffic, Active Directory, Kerberos, LDAP, SMB, RDP, remote administration, and proxy pivots with exact packet evidence.
Separate transport, DNS, TLS, VPN, middlebox, service, and receiver failure without turning missing evidence into a clean conclusion.
Simple value estimate
Use three planning assumptions. Count only incidents where packet investigation is part of the response and only hours you genuinely believe better evidence could remove.
Illustrative planning estimate—not a PacketSafari guarantee or customer result. Validate time saved and business impact during an evaluation.
Technical investigation surfaces
Exact protocol and detector depth is agreed from approved captures. Encrypted, unsupported, unavailable, and partial evidence remains explicit.
Kerberos · LDAP · SMB · RDP · DNS · SSHInvestigate suspicious authentication, lateral movement, proxy attack paths, remote access, and east-west relationships.
TCP · UDP · TLS · DNS · IPsec/GRE visibility · ICMPLocalize resets, loss, reordering, path policy, encrypted-session failure, and unavailable dependencies.
Signatures · behavioral C2 · tunnels · scans/floods · threat-intelligence matchingPreserve source, coverage, confidence, uncertainty, and packet pivots even when Internet services are unavailable.
Capture-specific decoded fields and protocol specialistsQualify depth with approved representative captures; unsupported or partial evidence remains explicit.
Procurement and acceptance
A deployment diagram is not an accreditation result. Make each boundary and failure mode observable during acceptance.
Demonstrate that normal investigation, authentication, reporting, and selected AI routes require no unapproved external service.
Document packet storage, retention, identity, authorization, audit, model routing, and egress boundaries.
Verify local-model compatibility, evidence quality, throughput, concurrency, and failure behavior on the accepted infrastructure.
Exercise offline signature and threat-intelligence import, provenance, rollback, and stale-content visibility where included in scope.
Confirm Preliminary, Verification, Final Report, partial coverage, unavailable evidence, and failed processing remain distinguishable.
Run acceptance against approved representative captures and record supported protocols, capacity, recovery, and operational ownership.
Assurance context
A common language for governing, identifying, protecting, detecting, responding to, and recovering from cybersecurity risk.
NIST CSF 2.0SP 800-61 Rev. 3 integrates incident response across cybersecurity risk management and emphasizes effective detection, response, and recovery.
NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 3Data classification, sovereignty, cryptography, supply chain, logging, updates, support, and acceptance must be mapped to the buyer’s authority and jurisdiction.
Qualify during procurementPacketSafari supplies technical investigation evidence; it does not grant accreditation, certify a framework, or determine whether a deployment is suitable for classified information.
