Packet Slicing

In today’s hyperconnected world, granular traffic visibility is mission-critical—but capturing every byte is impractical. At NEOX, we revolutionize Network Visibility with Packet Slicing, delivering focused, high-value intelligence to your security and monitoring tools without storage overload.

  • Packet Slicing slashes bandwidth and storage costs by up to 90% by capturing only essential data—L2-L4 headers, HTTP/DNS metadata, and malware signatures—while discarding redundant payloads. Security tools like IDS, SIEM, and NDR analyze threats faster by processing trimmed, high-value traffic without noise. It also simplifies compliance by automatically excluding sensitive PII/PCI data, ensuring adherence to GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS without costly full-packet retention.

 

  • NEOX delivers zero-license, hardware-accelerated Packet Slicing—enabled by default on PacketWolf, PacketLion, and PacketTiger—eliminating costly licensing barriers. Dynamically slice traffic by type (TLS metadata, API calls) or threat context (C2 beacons, exfiltration) to ensure tools receive only mission-critical data. For cloud environments, PacketTigerVirtual slashes egress costs by forwarding trimmed traffic to monitoring tools, optimizing both performance and budget.

 

  • Maximize efficiency with NEOX’s two-tier architecture—aggregate high-density traffic using PacketLion, then streamline operations with PacketWolf’s advanced slicing and packet services. For hybrid cloud environments, deploy PacketTigerVirtual to pre-slice VPC traffic, minimizing cloud tool load and egress costs. Maintain complete forensic readiness by correlating real-time sliced data (for immediate threat detection) with selectively stored full packets for in-depth investigations—ensuring optimal performance without compromising visibility.
