Every connection has a story.
PacketViper reads it in real time.
PacketViper doesn’t just block or allow traffic. It understands who is connecting, where they’re from, what organization they belong to, what protocols they’re using, and whether this pattern has ever happened before. That context drives every enforcement decision.
The difference between a firewall and PacketViper is context.
Firewalls see packets. PacketViper sees intent.
A firewall sees source IP, destination IP, port, and protocol. That’s it. It can’t tell you that the source belongs to a scanning service operating out of a cloud provider, that this is the fourth time this ASN has probed your network this week, or that the connection is happening outside your normal business hours.
Without context, every enforcement decision is binary: allow or block. With context, enforcement becomes precise. You can allow traffic from a country while blocking a specific hostile ASN within it. You can permit a vendor’s access during business hours but flag it after midnight. You can distinguish between a legitimate business partner and an attacker using the same hosting provider.
PacketViper evaluates every connection against five dimensions of context before enforcement fires. The result is fewer false positives, fewer missed threats, and enforcement decisions that actually match the risk.
Five Dimensions of Context
Context built from every layer of the stack.
PacketViper assembles intelligence from multiple sources and applies it to every connection in real time. No external lookups. No API delays. Context is local, inline, and immediate.
Global Network Lists
2,301+ curated ipsets covering known scanners, botnet infrastructure, cloud providers, and legitimate business networks. Enable them and 20-30% of unwanted traffic disappears on day one. No rules to write. No tuning needed.
Context Groups
Custom population definitions that let you segment traffic by business function, sensitivity level, or operational role. Apply differentiated policies without managing hundreds of individual rules. Shift enforcement automatically for maintenance windows, shift changes, or incident response.
Geographic Intelligence
Every connection tagged with country and ASN in real time. Enforce at the ASN level within a country – allow this vendor’s network, block that hosting provider – without broad country-level rules that break legitimate business traffic.
OT Protocol Awareness
290+ CVE signatures across Modbus, DNP3, S7comm, BACnet, EtherNet/IP, and OPC-UA. PacketViper understands OT commands at the register level – distinguishing legitimate engineering commands from manipulation attempts.
Behavioral Baselines
Traffic patterns establish baselines automatically. When a device deviates from its normal communication pattern – a new destination, an unusual protocol, off-hours activity – that deviation triggers enforcement, not just an alert.
Attacker Attribution
Every probe, scan, and connection attempt builds a persistent profile. TTL values, scan patterns, tooling signatures, timing, and behavioral indicators. Your SOC gets a complete picture of who is targeting your infrastructure.
Context is what turns data into decisions.
For Security Teams
Stop sorting through thousands of alerts with no context. Every event in PacketViper arrives with geographic, organizational, and behavioral context already assembled. Your analysts start with answers, not starting points.
For OT Operators
OT traffic has very specific, predictable patterns. Context-aware enforcement catches deviations that a firewall rule would miss entirely: unexpected protocols, unauthorized connection sources, after-hours activity from devices that should be idle.
For Leadership
Fewer false positives, fewer manual exception processes, fewer help desk tickets from legitimate business traffic getting caught in broad blocks. Context enforcement means precision at scale – measurable reduction in operational overhead.
Context changes everything.
