NEOX PacketOps™ Framework

Turn Network Packet Data Into Operational Intelligence

Access every packet > Direct it intelligently > Record what matters > Protect what is critical

Modern infrastructure spans physical networks, virtual workloads, public clouds, AI data centers, neoclouds, and operational technologies. Yet the tools responsible for security, observability, and performance often operate with incomplete, duplicated, or poorly prepared network traffic. NEOX PacketOps provides a unified operating framework for turning network packet data into trusted operational intelligence for modern IT operations.

Protect

Detect, inspect, control, and securely separate traffic across critical environments.

Record

Capture and retain full-fidelity traffic for investigation, evidence, and rapid reconstruction.

Direct

Aggregate, filter, optimize, and deliver the right traffic to the right destinations and monitoring tools.

Access

Acquire complete, high-fidelity traffic from physical, virtual, cloud, AI, and OT environments.

NEOX PacketOps connects the complete packet lifecycle. Traffic is acquired without disrupting production, intelligently conditioned and delivered to security and observability tools, retained for historical analysis and evidence, and inspected or controlled for security. Each function can operate independently, but the greatest value comes from integrating Access, Direct, Record, and Protect as one coordinated PacketOps architecture.
