Why now

Getting the right security data at scale is today’s biggest challenge both technically and financially.

NetFlow is incomplete, making analytics worthless
Full packet captures are storage and performance intensive, making them cost prohibitive
Teams that choose to deploy and maintain open-source Zeek must face the resource- and time-intensive upkeep, while the data they get is hard to use

“…forensic tools sought to collect raw packets at large scale, but today’s fast networks made this approach impractical…”

Gartner, March 18, 2019 (ID: G00373460)

“…55% cited their inability to detect advanced threats as the biggest challenge for SOCs.”

2018 survey by Crowd Research Partners

“The average time to identify a breach in 2019 was 206 days.”

Why Vectra

Cognito Stream: Security-enriched cloud and network metadata streamed to SIEMs and data lakes ready for your own custom models

Cognito Detect

Actionable Data

Our network metadata is enriched with security insights and context so you can build custom tools and feed models to improve detections, investigations and hunting.

Limitless Scale

Leverage existing tooling. Data delivered in open-source Zeek streams security insights into data lakes and SIEMs – without the maintenance overhead and scaling limits of Zeek.

Extension correlation

All detected threat behaviors are correlated across the entire data infrastructure, including cloud and data center workloads as well as enterprise and IoT networks.

Actionable Threat-hunting Data

Get the right data enriched with hundreds of relevant metadata attributes collected from all traffic in cloud, data center, IoT, and enterprise networks.

Security insights and context from machine learning-derived models are embedded to make the data indispensable.

Conclusive investigations with your own custom models – based on host devices and identities – so you’re not limited to only IP addresses.

Limitless Scale. Zero Overhead.

Compatible data is presented in a compact, easy-to-understand Zeek format.

Maintenance-free operation requires zero performance tuning.

High-performance with over ten-times the horsepower of self-managed deployments.

Extensive Correlation

Support multiple deployment scenarios – hybrid, cloud-native and SaaS

Integrate with infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) providers without using agents

Improve your custom detections and hunting in cloud, data center, IoT, and enterprise networks

Did You Know?

Reduce mean time to response from 10 hours to 10 minutes.

Cognito Stream sets up in minutes, requires no maintenance, and delivers your data with more than 10-times the single-sensor performance of Zeek.
