Introducing Security Insights: Cost-Efficient, Edge-Based Network Security Analytics

Today’s enterprises operate in an increasingly hostile threat landscape, where attackers exploit gaps between siloed tools, teams, and environments. Threats no longer remain confined to a single domain — they move laterally across endpoints, networks, data centers, and cloud platforms. Yet, many organizations still rely on fragmented visibility, leaving critical blind spots where attackers can operate undetected.

Security Insights, part of the LiveAction portfolio and available from Softprom as an official LiveAction distributor, addresses this challenge with an edge-first approach to network security analytics. By leveraging network flow and packet telemetry directly where traffic is generated, Security Insights enables faster detection, stronger forensics, and shared operational insight — without introducing additional infrastructure or complexity.

Edge-Based Telemetry for Faster, Cost-Efficient Detection

To compensate for fragmented visibility, many Security Operations Centers (SOCs) rely on SIEM and XDR platforms as systems of record. In parallel, traditional Network Detection and Response (NDR) tools often require massive volumes of packet data to be backhauled to centralized cloud platforms for analysis. This approach increases cost, adds latency, and complicates operations.

Security Insights takes a fundamentally different path.

By combining LiveNX for flow-based visibility and anomaly detection with LiveWire for deep packet-level forensics, Security Insights analyzes telemetry directly at the network edge. Threats, anomalies, and policy violations are surfaced in real time within the LiveNX Security Insights Dashboard, providing immediate visibility across hybrid and distributed environments.

When deeper investigation is required, LiveWire enables full packet reconstruction — validating indicators of compromise (IOCs), uncovering hidden behaviors, and supporting forensic-grade analysis without moving data off-network.

This edge-first model delivers:

• Faster detection and response
• Lower operational and infrastructure costs
• Stronger resilience and reduced dependency on centralized analytics platforms

At the same time, Security Insights integrates seamlessly with existing SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms, enabling organizations to operationalize network-based security intelligence within their current workflows and maximize return on existing investments.

Bridging the Gap Between NetOps and SecOps

Historically, network and security teams have operated with different tools, priorities, and datasets. Network teams focus on performance and availability, while security teams concentrate on detection and defense. Attackers, however, exploit the gaps between these functions.

Security Insights bridges this divide by turning network telemetry into a shared source of truth for both NetOps and SecOps.

With a unified view across LAN, WAN, SD-WAN, data center, and cloud environments, teams gain correlated visibility into flows, packets, and security findings — all from a single interface. Analysts can seamlessly pivot from a high-level anomaly detected in LiveNX to packet-level inspection in LiveWire, reconstructing sessions and tracing lateral movement with precision.

This shared visibility enables:

• Faster investigations and reduced response times
• Better collaboration between network and security teams
• Confident, data-driven decision-making

Rather than adding another standalone NDR tool, Security Insights enhances the platforms teams already trust, aligning operations around a common operational reality.

Top Use Cases for Security Insights

1. Real-Time Security Findings

Security Insights continuously monitors network behavior to identify suspicious activity, policy violations, and insecure protocol usage as they occur. Findings are correlated across environments and mapped to industry frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and OWASP, ensuring detections are both actionable and aligned with known attack techniques. This enables rapid triage, standardized reporting, and faster response — often reducing investigation time from hours to minutes.

2. Forensic Investigation

When incidents occur, speed and accuracy are critical. Security Insights combines LiveNX flow analytics with LiveWire’s indexed packet capture to deliver complete forensic visibility. Analysts can reconstruct historical sessions, validate IOCs, and identify root causes directly at the network edge — without relying on costly cloud-based packet analysis. This capability is particularly valuable for regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, where auditability and evidence retention are essential.

3. Proactive Threat Hunting

Beyond alert-driven detection, Security Insights enables proactive threat hunting across flow and packet data. Security teams can uncover subtle indicators such as command-and-control traffic, policy bypass attempts, or abnormal encryption usage before they escalate into incidents. By correlating macro-level flow anomalies with micro-level packet intelligence, organizations can move from reactive response to continuous, proactive defense — supporting Zero Trust and continuous monitoring strategies.

Why Enterprises Need Security Insights Today

Attackers are moving faster, budgets are under pressure, and security operations are consolidating around interoperable platforms. The era of monolithic, siloed NDR tools is rapidly fading.

Security Insights provides a scalable, open, and cost-effective alternative, purpose-built for hybrid and distributed enterprises. It delivers high-fidelity visibility across every network domain while integrating seamlessly with existing security ecosystems.

Security Insights enables:

• Faster detection and response with real-time, edge-based analytics
• Lower cost and complexity by eliminating large-scale data backhaul
• Deeper forensics through retained packet and flow analysis
• Unified NetOps and SecOps visibility for faster decision-making
• Seamless integration with SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms such as Splunk

By transforming network telemetry into actionable security intelligence, Security Insights turns the network itself into a proactive defense layer.

In an environment where attackers act in minutes and defenders often respond in days, Security Insights delivers the visibility, intelligence, and agility enterprises need to stay ahead — without rebuilding their security stack.
