Best for Threat Hunting and Open, Evidence-Rich NDR

Corelight Open NDR

Open NDR built on Zeek and Suricata, evidence for the hunt

Corelight delivers Open NDR built on the open-source standards Zeek and Suricata, transforming network traffic into rich, structured evidence that powers threat hunting, detection and incident response. Rather than a black box, Corelight gives analysts comprehensive, transparent network data they can search, pivot on and integrate into any SIEM or XDR. It is the choice for mature SOCs, threat hunters and incident responders who want the deepest, most open network evidence rather than just prioritised alerts.

What is Corelight

Open NDR built on Zeek and Suricata

Corelight Open NDR transforms network traffic into rich, structured evidence using the open-source standards Zeek and Suricata. Rather than a closed scoring box, it gives analysts comprehensive, transparent data they can search, pivot on and integrate anywhere.

Corelight layers curated detections, threat intelligence and ML on top of that open evidence, and feeds any SIEM or XDR, making it the platform of choice for mature SOCs, threat hunters and incident responders who work from network truth.

Evidence,
Not a Black Box

Corelight's distinction is openness: it produces the rich, structured Zeek and Suricata evidence hunters trust, integrable into any analytics platform, with curated detection on top.

  • Open-source Zeek and Suricata structured evidence
  • Hunt-ready data for detection, hunting and IR
  • Open integration into any SIEM or XDR
  • Curated detections, threat intelligence and ML on top

Corelight Highlights

Open evidence that powers the hunt

Corelight turns raw traffic into rich, structured Zeek and Suricata evidence, the data threat hunters and responders actually want, open and integrable rather than a closed scoring box.

Zeek + Suricata

Open-source standards producing structured network evidence

Evidence

Comprehensive data for hunting, detection and IR

Open

Integrates into any SIEM or XDR, no lock-in

Zeek + Suricata

Open standards, structured evidence

Built on the open-source Zeek and Suricata projects, Corelight transforms traffic into rich, structured logs and alerts, the de facto evidence format trusted by threat hunters worldwide.

Hunt-ready data

Data analysts can pivot on

Comprehensive network evidence lets hunters and responders search, correlate and pivot across connections, files and protocols, rather than being limited to a vendor's prioritised alerts.

Open integration

Feeds any SIEM or XDR

Corelight evidence integrates cleanly into Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic and any XDR, enriching your existing analytics platform instead of forcing yet another console.

Detection content

Curated detections on open data

Corelight layers curated detections, threat intelligence and ML on top of the open evidence, so you get actionable detection without losing the underlying transparency.

Who should put Corelight Open NDR on the shortlist

  • Mature SOCs and threat-hunting teams that want open, rich network evidence

  • Incident responders who need defensible, structured forensic data

  • Estates standardised on a SIEM or XDR that Corelight can enrich

  • Organisations that value open standards (Zeek, Suricata) and no lock-in

  • Programmes correlating network evidence with their broader analytics

What to consider

The honest watch-outs

Every platform has trade-offs. We would rather raise these now than have you discover them three months into a deployment.

Best with a SIEM or analytics platform

Corelight's strength is producing exceptional evidence; it is most powerful feeding a SIEM or XDR for analytics, hunting and response. Teams wanting a turnkey, fully self-contained alert-and-respond NDR sometimes prefer Darktrace or Vectra.

How it is delivered

Faq

What is Open NDR and why does it matter?

Open NDR means detection and evidence built on open standards, in Corelight's case Zeek and Suricata, that you can inspect, search and integrate freely, rather than a closed scoring engine. It matters because threat hunters and incident responders need transparent, structured data they can pivot on, not just a black-box verdict.
