Compute Edge

Every PacketViper appliance is a
secure application platform.

Run third-party and custom apps natively on the device – no separate hardware, no separate management. The security platform becomes the compute platform.

One device. Security plus everything else your edge location needs.

What It Is

Stop shipping hardware to every site.

Most security platforms are closed boxes. You get what the vendor ships and nothing else. PacketViper Compute Edge opens the platform in a controlled, isolated way so organizations can extend it with the tools they already use or build what they need.

Applications run natively within the PacketViper environment. They share the same policy engine, the same network visibility, the same telemetry pipeline. A Nozomi asset discovery module running on a PacketViper RSU at a remote substation has full access to the traffic PacketViper is already seeing – no separate tap, no separate agent, no separate deployment.

PacketViper Cyber-Physical RSU
Application Types

Three types of edge applications.

PacketViper-Native Extensions

PacketViper-developed modules that extend platform capability – including the Cyber Physical device integration, environmental monitoring, and advanced analytics extensions. Installed and managed through the standard PacketViper interface.

Third-Party Integrations

Partner applications from Nozomi Networks, Claroty, Tenable, and others run natively on the PacketViper appliance. Deploy OT asset discovery, vulnerability management, or threat intelligence tools at the edge without additional hardware at every site.

Customer-Built Applications

Organizations with mission-specific requirements build and deploy their own applications directly on the PacketViper platform. Custom automation, specialized monitoring, proprietary analytics – running on the same appliance already doing security enforcement.

Why It Matters

One appliance replaces a rack.

Every organization with distributed infrastructure faces the same problem: you need security, monitoring, analytics, and custom tooling at hundreds of sites – but putting dedicated hardware at every location is prohibitively expensive. With Compute Edge, a single RSU does the work of multiple devices.

Security Enforcement

Inline enforcement, AMTD, deception, and traffic filtering – the full PacketViper security stack running on the same device as your edge applications.

OT Asset Discovery

Third-party OT monitoring tools running natively – no separate hardware, no separate deployment, no separate management console.

Environmental Monitoring

Temperature, humidity, and motion sensors for full situational awareness at remote locations. Physical and environmental data correlated with network telemetry.

Custom Automation

Customer-built applications for mission-specific requirements – proprietary logic, specialized alerting, or automated workflows running directly on the enforcement platform.

All on one device, managed from one console. No additional hardware at the edge.

Consolidate Your Edge

Replace the rack with a single appliance.
