PacketViper

PacketViper is an active cybersecurity solution designed to protect the converging OT and IT networks of small to large enterprises. According to the vendor, it is specifically developed for OT and IT cybersecurity professionals, industrial control system (ICS) operators, operational technology (OT) operators, IT network security teams, and critical infrastructure operators. With its comprehensive features and capabilities, PacketViper aims to provide a robust defense against cyber threats in various industries.

Key Features

Deception360™: According to the vendor, Deception360™ is an active and agentless cybersecurity solution that combines internal and external deception capabilities. It emulates Moving Target Defense (MTD) and is designed to automatically detect, prevent, respond, and contain threats. The vendor states that it is lightweight, software-based, and easily deployed on network boundaries.

Shortest Time to Greatest Value: The vendor claims that PacketViper delivers immediate value as a deception solution with its unique combination of prevention, detection, and response capabilities. They state that it is cost-effective, lightweight, and provides measurable security results right from the start.

Deception Outside the Box: Internal and External Defense: According to the vendor, this feature includes internal decoys that detect and respond to threats within the network, while external decoys create a moving target at the network edge. The dynamic perimeters aim to make the network harder to size up, complementing traditional security stacks and limiting global attack vectors.

Heavyweight Results: The vendor asserts that PacketViper provides high fidelity internal threat detection and executes preventive actions and responses at wire speed. They claim that it eliminates the need for Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) and applies Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and machine-readable threat intelligence.

Deceiving and Misleading Threats Throughout the Attack Cycle: According to the vendor, PacketViper aims to disrupt the cyber attack chain by using deception and acting in the reconnaissance phase of a cyber-attack. They state that it reduces "noise" on the networks being protected and increases the effectiveness of other security controls and processes.

Deception Enabled Detection, Prevention, Response and Containment: The vendor claims that this feature focuses on internal and external threat detection, prevention, response, and containment. They state that it provides broad network visibility and context, supports saturation-level deployment of deception artifacts, and aims to stop attackers early in the cyber attack chain.

Flexible Tool for Insight: According to the vendor, PacketViper offers immediate insight into networks, assets, and traffic flows. They state that it comes with customizable and interactive dashboards, BI-like analytics, and reporting capabilities. The vendor claims that it works in conjunction with deceptive elements and behavioral policies.

PacketViper and Artificial Intelligence: The vendor states that PacketViper utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and reactive machine capabilities. They claim that it acts based on user-established policies, detects cyber threats directly and consistently, prevents threats using dynamic Moving Target Defense perimeters, and supports automation to continuously improve security posture.
