Network Traffic Capture & Analysis
Packet Capture, Forensics, & Incident Response Solutions
WHAT IS A NETWORK PACKET CAPTURE solution
A Network Packet Capture Appliance is a high-performance, hyper-converged system designed to record network packet data directly to onboard storage (HDD or SSD), a process commonly referred to as capture-to-disk (CTD). It continuously archives packet data in standard PCAP or PCAP-NG format over time, making it easily searchable and retrievable for purposes such as troubleshooting, forensic investigation, or compliance auditing. Key differentiators among capture appliances include their CTD throughput (in Gbps), ability to sustain long-duration, high-speed captures without packet loss, support for multiple concurrent capture streams, storage capacity, and the speed and depth of their search and analysis tools. The sophistication of integrated analysis software also plays a major role in their effectiveness.

Full Packet Capture-to-Disk at Sustained Rate
NEOX Network Packet Capture appliances can capture up to 100Gbps capture-to-disk (CTD) rate (or even higher when intelligent features below are enabled), continuously without missing a single packet. Some other products in the industry claim such speeds, but not all can capture at a sustained rate, which requires a distinct high-performance converged architecture with FPGA-based capture, fast storage, and intelligent software algorithms. 10TB to 8PB extensible storage capacity provides ample data space with SSD and SED (encrypted) options. NEOX features such as Capture Compression, Intelligent Capture, Capture Filtering, and Dynamic Packet Slicing, maximize the capture rate and storage capacity. The capture packet data is saved in PCAP and PCAP-NG format to easily read through standard tools such as Wireshark.
Network Application Analysis and Troubleshooting
Packet capture solutions extract useful metadata and actionable insights and metrics for quickly isolating the application vs. network issues and finding out if the network is or is not an issue when it comes to application latency, slowness, and poor user experiences. NEOX packet capture solutions ship with expensive out-of-box Enterprise-grade analysis software and dashboards with no extra license cost, unlike other vendors. It provides NetOps and AppOps teams with metrics such as Top Applications and Protocols, Top Talkers, One-Way and Multi-Segment Latency, Application Dependency and Peer Mapping, and other insights for optimizing network resources, removing bottlenecks, controlling policies and shadow-IT, and accelerating the mean time to resolution (MTTR).
Advanced Security Forensics for Incident Response
NEOX packet capture solutions enable deep forensic analysis by transforming raw network packet data into actionable intelligence for incident investigations, containment, and incident response (IR) enabling rapid detection and containment of threats – whether for cybercrime or cyberattack. During an active breach, SecOps Blue and IR teams can use NEOX to isolate malicious traffic, analyze attack vectors, and deploy countermeasures. By reconstructing sessions, extracting packet files, and analyzing IP addresses, protocols, and communication sessions, NEOX helps investigators trace attack origins, uncover malware communications, and validate data exfiltration. By combining packet capture with dynamic response workflows, NEOX ensures organizations can swiftly neutralize threats while preserving forensic integrity for legal or compliance needs. This is invaluable for post-breach investigations, regulatory audits, and threat-hunting operations where granular evidence is required.
Regulatory Compliance and Audit Trail
Certain regulated industries—such as banking, finance, healthcare, and government – are required to archive network packet data related to critical transactions for defined periods. NEOX packet capture solutions offer extensive storage capacity, enabling the retention of packet-level data for days, weeks, or even months. With high-speed query, search, and retrieval functions, users can quickly locate and access specific data when needed, streamlining compliance efforts. Packet data capture supports compliance by providing a reliable, tamper-proof record of all network activity, ensuring organizations can meet regulatory requirements for data retention, audit trails, and breach reporting – critical for demonstrating adherence to policies such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and others. In the event of an audit, this archived packet-level evidence helps validate security controls, confirm whether sensitive data was accessed or exfiltrated, and provide proof of due diligence.
