PacketOwl Virtual Network Security
PacketOwl Virtual is a powerful, cloud-ready network security appliance that brings the full capability of PacketOwl’s “Suricata-on-Steroids” engine into virtualized and containerized environments. Designed for unmatched network security Network Security Monitoring (NSM), and Network Detection and Response (NDR) it offers deep visibility and real-time threat response for modern hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud infrastructures.
Deployable as a standalone virtual Clear NDR probe, PacketOwl Virtual is engineered to identify, analyze, log, and alert on threats with high precision. Its advanced event-triggered packet capture and forensic indexing allow for comprehensive traffic analysis and historical insight—without sacrificing performance. With flexible, instance-defined throughput scaling, it adapts seamlessly to your virtual resource availability.
Built for the modern enterprise, PacketOwl Virtual supports fast deployment via Debian package or Docker image, making it ideal for environments running VMware, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Its lightweight footprint and modular design enable rapid integration into existing cloud security workflows.
PacketOwl Virtual feeds enriched alert and log data into SIEM systems and SOCs, with support for industry-standard log formats and export over GRE or VXLAN tunnels to on-prem logging infrastructure. Log rotation, compression, and user-defined rules ensure optimized log management across diverse environments.
With native PCAP and PCAP-NG support, PacketOwl Virtual maintains full interoperability with tools like Wireshark for deep packet inspection. It delivers enterprise-grade NSM and forensic capability without the need for physical hardware, offering scalable, container-friendly network defense that aligns with today’s agile, cloud-native security needs. Whether deployed in a single tenant cloud, multi-tenant architecture, or hybrid data center, PacketOwl Virtual ensures threat visibility and response at every layer. Shop PacketOwlVirual
