To analyze PCAP files for network threat detection, you process offline PCAP captures with Zeek to generate structured logs for retrospective security analysis and forensics. This provides deep visibility into past network activity.

Monitoring live network traffic for incident response involves deploying Zeek on a live traffic feed to generate protocol logs like conn, dns, http, and ssl. This enables real-time threat detection and ongoing network visibility.

Yes, you can integrate Zeek logs with a SIEM for centralized monitoring by utilizing standard log formats and intel feeds. This allows structured Zeek logs to be ingested for broader threat detection and forensic analysis.

Zeek parsing improves network visibility during a security assessment by converting raw network traffic into structured protocol logs. This reduces blind spots and enables detailed forensic investigation and threat detection across the network.

While Zeek generates default protocol logs for threat detection, implementing custom detection scripting allows you to enforce a structured Zeek configuration tailored to specific security assessments and incident response needs.
