Corelight

Corelight is a solution designed to bolster network security through advanced detection and analysis. It operates by monitoring network traffic in real-time, providing security teams with detailed context and actionable intelligence about activity across their digital infrastructure. Built on the robust Zeek framework, it enhances an organization's ability to investigate threats, track incidents, and respond quickly to issues as they emerge.

One of Corelight’s key strengths lies in its analytics engine, which leverages sophisticated technologies to uncover complex attack patterns and reduce the time needed to identify risks. It integrates seamlessly with many security tools used in modern operations centers, allowing teams to view network data alongside endpoint and cloud telemetry. These integrations support comprehensive security postures and streamline investigative workflows.

Corelight’s flexible deployment options make it suitable for organizations with extensive security requirements, ranging from on-premises appliances to cloud-based installations. It comes with in-depth training resources and expert support, helping technical teams maximize the value of advanced features. While the platform delivers significant enhancements in visibility and detection, it comes with a steeper learning curve and higher upfront investment than entry-level solutions.

Corelight is best suited for cybersecurity professionals working in large-scale organizations, such as enterprises, government agencies, and institutions operating within finance or healthcare. IT managers, security operations center (SOC) analysts, and compliance officers are primary users, employing the platform to monitor network environments for signs of compromise, conduct in-depth threat investigations, and maintain regulatory standards.

The tool addresses environments where network security is mission-critical and incidents must be detected and resolved quickly. It is particularly valuable for teams needing to integrate advanced network evidence into their existing security stacks and automate parts of threat detection. Organizations with strict compliance demands or those that require granular network data, like hospitals, banks, and public sector entities, will benefit most from Corelight’s capabilities.
