How Aviz and Endace Strengthen Network Forensics with Continuous Packet Evidence


To investigate cyberattacks and suspicious activity - and to meet compliance regulations - security teams rely on evidence found within packets. However, traffic is traversing not only across their data centers, but also cloud platforms, campuses, and edges, making it challenging to capture every essential packet. Some typical problems that teams encounter are:

* Overloaded packet capture systems unable to handle traffic spikes.
* Irrelevant data obscuring important evidence.
* Inconsistent historical records creating drag on investigations.
* Higher infrastructure costs, without an increase in visibility.

The Aviz Networks-Endace integrated solution makes this task simpler by guaranteeing that only optimized, high-fidelity traffic arrives at packet capture systems. Aviz Deep Network Observability (DNO) smart services efficiently aggregate, filter, dedup, and normalize traffic before directing it to Endace Always-On Packet Capture, which ingests, indexes, and permanently stores the traffic. Analysts now have a system that automatically logs and indexes the traffic. They can retrieve and analyze historic packet evidence for investigations into incidents as soon as they occur, or weeks or months later.
Instead of throwing massive packets of information into their packet capture infrastructure only to deal with redundant data, organizations now benefit from a comprehensive solution. Complete, granular visibility to all traffic at all locations allows both security and operations teams to quickly respond to security incidents with relevant packet history at their fingertips. Analysts will also have complete evidence for incident investigations, deeper threat hunt, improved security analytics, and better compliance reporting.
As cyber threats continue to advance, continuous packet evidence will become an essential element in every modern security program. The combination of Aviz's intelligent traffic processing and Endace's always-on packet capture solutions offer a powerful way for organizations to gain unparalleled network visibility and accelerate threat investigation.

Evolving Packet Brokering for Modern Network Observability

Image
  I recently reviewed a technical overview describing how packet brokering platforms are evolving to support large-scale observability in modern data centers and service provider networks. The discussion focused on scalability, automated deployment, and operational efficiency. Some practical observations: • Network visibility platforms are expanding support for 400G switching hardware used in modern data center fabrics • GRE encapsulation enables mirrored traffic to move across Layer-3 networks while preserving packet metadata • Zero-Touch Provisioning simplifies onboarding for new or factory-reset switches • Packet brokers aggregate traffic from TAPs and SPAN ports and apply filtering and distribution policies • CLI improvements help operators manage large monitoring environments more efficiently One notable element was how GRE tunneling extends observability beyond Layer-2 boundaries. By encapsulating mirrored traffic into GRE tunnels, monitoring systems can receive full packet c...

Scaling Deep Network Observability for 5G: Reflections from a Real Deployment

Image
  I recently went through a detailed implementation showing how deep network observability enhances 5G mobile user experience while reducing operational complexity. What stood out was how grounded the deployment was in real traffic and production-scale constraints. Some practical observations: • Fragmented systems increase cost and operational overhead • Frequent infrastructure upgrades create instability and repair expenses • Optimised filtering significantly reduces DPI hardware requirements • Real-time KPI computation improves SLA monitoring and service assurance • Standardised data export through streaming pipelines simplifies integration One misconception addressed during the walkthrough was that deeper observability automatically means more hardware. In reality, efficient filtering and intelligent packet processing reduce hardware footprint while improving performance. My biggest takeaway is that scalable observability in 5G environments requires architectural efficiency,...

How Network Copilot Uses Agentic AI to Correlate FortiGate and Splunk

Image
I recently went through a detailed implementation explaining how Network Copilot correlates FortiGate firewall telemetry with operational data indexed in Splunk . What stood out was how grounded the discussion was in real operational workflows rather than theoretical AI claims. Some practical observations: • Network and security logs are typically distributed across multiple platforms • Troubleshooting often requires manually correlating events between systems • Network Copilot ingests metrics, events, logs, and traces from firewall environments • Operators can interact with the system using natural language questions • Explainable root cause analysis improves operational confidence One misconception addressed during the walkthrough was that AI in operations means replacing engineers. In reality, the system augments teams by surfacing insights faster and correlating information across environments. Another interesting point was how the platform learns from real firewall deployments...
