Enterprise data center security stacks




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)
