Why Corelight

Threat detection

Illuminate and disrupt evasive attacks now reimagined with Agentic Triage. Detect advanced threats and automatically transform alerts into evidence-backed investigations with Open NDR built on forensic-grade network telemetry and explainable Agentic Triage.

Multi-layered detections

Corelight delivers a comprehensive suite of network security analytics that helps organizations identify more than 100 adversarial TTPs across the MITRE ATT&CK^® spectrum. Corelight collects and analyzes contextual data and applies a multi-layered detection strategy that combines AI and machine learning, behavioral analytics, curated signatures, along with threat intelligence to deliver prioritized aggregated alerts based on risk.

Only Corelight provides explainability for machine learning detections and leverages the power of the global open-source community to deliver curated Zeek-based behavioral detections while providing detailed logs for hunting an attacker's trail with precision.

AI for Threat Detection — and AI for Investigation

Corelight’s AI/ML-powered detection engine uses supervised and unsupervised models to uncover advanced, evasive, and novel threats. Our models are customizable and never trained on customer data.

Beyond scoring alerts, Agentic Triage executes expert-authored investigative playbooks to validate detections with contextual network evidence.

Corelight’s AI powered SOC

EDR evasion and encrypted traffic coverage

Detect post-exploitation behavior and threats that evade endpoint controls—such as credential access, DNS tunneling, or anomalous SMB usage. See and detect across east-west traffic, unmanaged devices, and encrypted sessions, where EDR often has blind spots.

High-fidelity, low noise alerts

Targeted detections for high-value threat behaviors like lateral movement, C2 communication, encrypted traffic misuse, and exfiltration that are precise and context-aware - dramatically reducing false positives.

Automated triage with agentic AI

Agentic Triage consolidates related alerts into entity-centric investigations, automatically assembling evidence and producing defensible verdicts with visible reasoning.

Faster triage, quicker response with explainable AI

Corelight enriches detections with structured, AI-driven investigative workflows. Instead of manually correlating alerts, analysts receive:

Pre-investigated entity cases
Behavioral timelines
Evidence-backed summaries
Clear next-step guidance
Transparent reasoning behind every conclusion

See the “why” behind every threat—so you can validate, contain, and respond with confidence.

The Corelight difference

Backed by forensic-grade network telemetry for complete attacker visibility
Targeted detections for high-value behaviors across the attack lifecycle
Built on open frameworks to extend or customize detection logic
Supported by curated, community-contributed behavioral detections
Enhanced with Agentic Triage for consistent, explainable investigations
