Compare to stand alone Zeek
Corelight makes Zeek easier (to deploy), faster (throughput on our platform) and even more powerful (yes, with added enhancements made by Corelight).
Minutes not months to full-scale Zeek deployment. Powerful C2 detections and encrypted insights that go well beyond JA3. Up to ten times the peak analysis throughput per sensor. Enterprise support from the people who wrote Zeek.
