Closing a critical blind spot in modern cyber defense stacks:
Cyberspatial integrates into enterprise data center security stacks by acting as a network telemetry intelligence layer, augmenting existing tools like Splunk, Elastic, and XDR platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender) with advanced PCAP-driven cyber terrain visibility. It provides context-aware packet intelligence, closing a critical blind spot in modern cyber defense stacks.
🔹 Strategic Integration of Cyberspatial in the Data Center
1. Data Enrichment & Flow Injection
-
Packet Capture (PCAP) Deep Analytics: Cyberspatial operates at the packet level, not just metadata or logs.
-
Integrates via:
-
Syslog forwarding
-
Kafka ingestion
-
RESTful API or custom connectors
-
-
To Splunk or Elastic:
-
Injects enriched metadata from PCAP sessions.
-
Provides L7+ protocol fingerprinting, anomaly scores, and threat indicators not visible in NetFlow or traditional logs.
-
➡️ Outcome: Your SIEM/XDR gains ground-truth-level data from raw network packets, enabling higher-fidelity alerts and analytics.
2. XDR Augmentation
-
Cyberspatial acts as a sensor grid across east-west and north-south traffic inside data centers.
-
Integrates with:
-
CrowdStrike Falcon XDR
-
SentinelOne Singularity
-
MS Defender for Endpoint
-
-
How: Sends enriched indicators and behavioral insights from network-level events that endpoints may miss.
➡️ Outcome: Closes endpoint visibility gaps and detects command-and-control, lateral movement, or data exfiltration occurring outside endpoint control.
3. Dashboards & Threat Terrain Mapping
-
Cyberspatial provides its own visual dashboard interface:
-
Topology heatmaps
-
Critical asset overlays
-
Threat path simulation
-
-
These insights can be:
-
Framed within Elastic/Splunk dashboards
-
Accessed via API
-
Or fed into SOAR platforms for playbook automation
-
➡️ Outcome: Converts raw data into actionable threat terrain maps supporting SOC operations and Tier 1/2 analysts.

🔹 Strategic Benefits in Data Center Context
| Capability | Added Value |
|---|---|
| Full-packet telemetry | Enhanced visibility in encrypted/cloud-native traffic |
| Lateral threat mapping | Identifies east-west attacks inside segmented networks |
| Protocol & anomaly detection | Adds deterministic layer to probabilistic AI-based alerts |
| Defense-grade fidelity | Built to support mission-critical infrastructure (USSF, NIWC) |
