For Network Engineers

Invisible to your network.
Visible to your attackers.

PacketViper deploys as a transparent L2 bridge — no IP address, no routing changes, no architecture redesign. It sits in the traffic path without announcing its presence. To a scanner, it doesn't exist.

L2
Transparent bridge — no IP address

No IP, no routing changes, no topology redesign.

PacketViper operates at Layer 2 with no IP address of its own. It's invisible to network scanners — an attacker cannot identify it, enumerate it, target it, or bypass it by routing around a visible device. You don't redesign your network. You tap it in. That's it.

L2 bridge vs. traditional inline security
Fail
Open — hardware bypass on failure

If it goes down, traffic flows. No single point of failure.

Hardware bypass is built in. If the device loses power or encounters a critical fault, the bypass engages and traffic passes through as if the device isn't there. Your network stays up. Your 2 AM phone call is about something else.

Sensor positions

Inside, outside, east-west, OT edge.

Sensors deploy at four positions: north-south (external perimeter), inside the perimeter, east-west (lateral), and at OT/edge sites. Dual-sensor correlation between inside and outside positions proves firewall gaps — traffic that shouldn't be leaving, isn't being blocked. Evidence, not theory.

Wire
Speed — ClickHouse backend, 10x performance

Enforcement at network speed. No perceptible latency.

PacketViper processes traffic at wire speed. The ClickHouse backend delivers 10x performance improvement over legacy database architectures. Every packet that passes through gets inspected and acted on in the same processing cycle — before it exits the device.

Integrations with existing stack

It works with what you already have.

CrowdStrike, Cisco, Fortinet, Dragos, Claroty, Tenable, Nozomi — PacketViper integrates with 52+ security and network management platforms. SNMP, syslog, API — it fits into your existing monitoring and management stack without replacing it.

Agents on endpoints — ever

Nothing touches your endpoints.

No agents. No software installs. No endpoint management overhead. PacketViper's enforcement lives entirely in the network layer — the enforcement device in the traffic path, not software on the machines behind it. Your endpoints are completely unmodified.

Why the L2 bridge matters
"Because PacketViper operates at Layer 2 with no IP address, it is invisible to network scanners. An attacker cannot identify it, cannot enumerate it, cannot target it, and cannot bypass it by routing around a visible IP-addressed device. It exists in the traffic path without announcing its presence."
