Defending federal networks with open NDR
A data-first approach that builds resiliency, expands capability, and advances the mission.
Protecting the mission
Corelight's evidence-based Open Network Detection and Response (NDR) Platform delivers superior network visibility. With Corelight, federal security teams can find and investigate cyber incidents faster and more effectively because we provide the context and evidence surrounding the incident with a simple pivot. We’re experts on what matters to federal customers and partners, from compliance mandates to MTTD/MTTR metrics. No matter what you need, our ultimate goal is to help you build a resilient, operationally-directed security posture.
Zero trust
You can't protect what you don't know, making Zero Trust verifications a must. Zero Trust architectures demand continuous verification and deep, dark investigations—something only robust network visibility can provide. Corelight can show you your entire network, and everything on it, almost instantly.
Network modernization
Executive Order 14028 brings an urgency to federal efforts to modernize cybersecurity and establish resiliency. Network Detection and Response can help agencies take advantage of the benefits of multi-cloud environments, while protecting vital assets and data.
Cloud migration
Corelight offers sensors for AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and Google Cloud that deliver the same comprehensive, correlated evidence as on-prem sensors do, and we’re constantly working on deeper integrations that enhance visibility and promote security insights.
Integration with federal tools
Corelight’s Open NDR Platform integrates seamlessly with the platforms, partners, and frameworks your teams already use:

MITRE ATT&CK®
MITRE ATT&CK® is an indispensable repository of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that adversaries employ. Addressing the full spectrum of TTPs requires a host of different tools with different strengths and weaknesses. Corelight’s network evidence excels at illuminating the blindspots others can’t.
