Powering NetSecOps shared insight for fast detection, seamless collaboration, and effective resolution.
Security Operations Centers (SOCs) face an unrelenting wave of alerts, fragmented visibility, and limited context. Analysts must sift through thousands of signals to identify what truly matters, often without the packet-level evidence or service impact insight needed for confident response.
Observer Threat Forensics with threat intelligence powered by CrowdStrike® bridges this critical gap. This dedicated cybersecurity solution extends the trusted Observer platform beyond performance monitoring into advanced network-based threat detection and forensic investigation. Powered by integrated Observer Threat Intelligence, it enriches every alert with adversary context, enabling faster, more accurate, and collaborative investigation across network and security teams.
Threat Intelligence Meets Forensics
Observer Threat Forensics combines real-time threat intelligence with packet-level analysis to expose hidden risks, validate alerts with precision, and give SecOps and NetOps a unified view for faster, more confident response from a single source of truth.
Real-Time Threat Intelligence Correlation
Detect with precision.
By continuously correlating live network traffic with dynamic threat intelligence, Observer Threat Forensics quickly identifies known malicious behaviors, exploited vulnerabilities (CVEs), and attacker TTPs. Each alert is prioritized by relevance and potential impact empowering analysts to act faster and more effectively.
Forensic-Level Investigation
Validate threats with confidence.
Every alert includes a direct link to packet-level evidence, providing analysts irrefutable visibility into the event. From initial incident to lateral movement, Observer can help teams reconstruct the entire attack sequence, revealing root cause, service impact, and relevant threat intent in a single view.
Comprehensive Visibility
See everything that matters.
Full-spectrum visibility starts at the packet. By capturing and analyzing both packet and flow data, Observer delivers a complete view of every device, conversation, and communication path, helping teams uncover hidden threats, abnormal behavior, and lateral movement before they disrupt critical services.
Faster Mean Time to Respond (MTTR)
From alert to root cause in record time.
Automated correlation between packets, flows, and threat intelligence eliminates manual data stitching. When suspicious activity is detected, each alert links directly to relevant packet evidence and performance data, accelerating validation, containment, and remediation to help minimize business disruption.
Retrospective Analysis
Rewind and uncover what was missed.
Long-term metadata retention enables retrospective detection of zero-day exploits and persistent adversaries, with the solution automatically analyzing historical network activity to uncover behavior that may have evaded initial detection.
How It Works
Observer Threat Forensics correlates packet, flow, and threat intelligence to produce enriched alerts that analysts can quickly investigate and validate with forensic evidence.
High-fidelity alerts are generated directly from metadata extracted through packet and flow analysis, enriched with continuously updated threat intelligence. Each detection includes contextual details such as associated IPs, indicators of compromise, and behavioral patterns for faster triage.
Each alert provides critical threat information, including attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), known command-and-control infrastructure, and exploited vulnerabilities (CVEs). This context enables analysts to prioritize investigations based on relevance and potential impact.
Network activity is automatically correlated with threat intelligence feeds to reduce noise and surface high-confidence detections. Analysts gain immediate visibility into who, what, and how — without manual log or data correlation.
Every alert is directly tied to underlying packet data, allowing analysts to pivot seamlessly into full forensic capture for verification, root-cause analysis, and impact assessment — all within Observer Apex.
Packet-level forensics, flow analysis, and threat intelligence are consolidated into a single dataset. Both network and security teams can view, validate, and respond from a shared operational perspective, improving coordination and reducing time to resolution.
Available with Observer Apex
Built into Apex, new or existing customers can activate with a subscription license. No additional hardware, software, or installation required.
Enterprise Licensing Made Simple
One subscription license covers the entire enterprise environment and applies across all deployed Observer GigaStor, GigaFlow, and Apex systems.
Continuous Threat Intelligence Updates
Observer Apex automatically downloads and refreshes threat intelligence constantly, keeping indicators of compromise (IOCs), adversary insights, and malware intelligence up to date.
-
Automated IOC Detection and Alerting
Observer Apex automatically matches indicators of compromise (IOCs) against incoming network data in real time and generates alerts when suspicious activity is detected. Alerts are triggered based on the available data sources—for example, NetFlow data supports IP-based IOC detection, while packet data enables both IP-based and Layer-7 deep inspection IOC detection.
-
Retrospective Analysis
When new indicators of compromise (IOCs) are identified, Observer Threat Forensics begins matching them against incoming network data while also analyzing previously collected data to determine whether those indicators appeared in the past. This retrospective analysis helps uncover earlier activity, including cases where adversaries used previously unknown or “Zero-Day IOCs.”
-
Threat Investigation Timeline
Observer Threat Forensics provides a session timeline that enables analysts to investigate indicators of compromise (IOCs) using time-sequenced forensic evidence. Analysts can navigate backward and forward through network activity to understand what occurred before, during, and after the IOC event, helping quickly determine whether the alert represents a real threat or a potential false positive. By presenting related sessions in context, the timeline helps analysts’ triage and investigate activity more efficiently.
-
Packet-Level Forensic Evidence
Observer Threat Forensics is supported by packet-level evidence, enabling analysts to examine the actual network activity behind alerts. By analyzing captured packets, investigators can review files transferred, web activity, and other network communications to validate suspicious behavior with greater confidence.
