TDAC (Ultra-Scale Data Analytics) is a cybersecurity data-lake platform designed to ingest, enrich, and store network telemetry at petabyte scale for SOC, NOC, threat hunting, and digital forensics teams. The platform ingests flow records, IDS alerts, and analytics outputs from Telesoft's own sensors, including FlowProbe enriched flow metadata, CERNE IDS intrusion alerts, and IntSOC correlation outputs, at carrier-scale data rates without data loss. TDAC uses a multi-petabyte Hot-Warm storage architecture, with a hot tier for instant access to recent high-value data and a warm tier providing high-capacity storage with intelligent indexing. This allows sub-second retrieval on high-priority data and rapid querying across historical datasets spanning months or years. Intelligent correlation engines automatically organize and index network telemetry, enabling analysts to cross-reference events, pivot across flows, alerts, and timelines, and reconstruct attack activity for investigation and forensic reconstruction. An integrated user portal provides visualization dashboards, customizable charts and timelines, map/table/graph views, and a query builder for building custom investigations across large datasets. TDAC is intended for large-scale service providers, telcos, MSSPs, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprise SOCs handling high-volume network traffic. It supports standard data formats and APIs for integration with SOC tools, SIEM platforms, ticketing systems, and orchestration solutions, and can export correlated insights or ingest additional datasets. The platform also supports compliance and audit initiatives by preserving long-term telemetry storage and indexed event history for retrieval during reviews.</description> <parameter name="summary">Petabyte-scale cyber data-lake for network telemetry correlation, search, and forensics
