Packet Forensics

Packet Forensics is a privately-held company based in the United States, with operations concentrated in Arizona and Virginia. Founded in 2005, the company develops products and services related to network monitoring and data collection intended to support organizational decision-making, network defense, and protection of critical systems. The company operates across two functional areas: an operational side and a developmental side. On the operational side, Packet Forensics provides network infrastructure operations, on-site training, and support services to customers in multiple countries. Its stated customer base includes organizations that rely on its products as core operational platforms for network monitoring and defense tasks, including physical environment monitoring, cabinet monitoring systems, and border and cyber defense applications. On the developmental side, Packet Forensics designs and manufactures hardware, software, and integrated systems in-house, including through applied research and development activities. The company's Virginia-based labs include surface mount technology pick-and-place equipment, battery characterization and testing capabilities, and Faraday cage testing environments, indicating in-house electronics design, prototyping, and low-volume manufacturing capabilities. Packet Forensics also addresses export compliance, providing guidance to customers or partners interested in exporting or re-exporting its products, suggesting its products may be subject to export administration regulations, which is typical for specialized network monitoring and interception equipment sold to government and institutional customers. The company positions itself as a long-term custodian of data belonging to its customers rather than a data owner, emphasizing operational integrity and confidentiality in its work with institutional clients.
