Corelight Virtual Sensors are network detection and response sensors designed for virtual environments running on Hyper-V and VMware platforms. The sensors monitor network traffic and transform it into structured data for security operations. The virtual sensors parse dozens of network protocols to generate evidence and detections for incident response and intrusion detection activities. They are designed to provide visibility into virtual network environments with support for up to 8 Gbps of monitored traffic. The product includes built-in detection, monitoring, and enrichment capabilities. It provides automatic updates and enhancements as part of the deployment. The sensors aim to reduce log volume by 50-80% while maintaining data fidelity. Deployment and scaling can be completed in minutes according to the vendor specifications. The virtual sensors are supported by Corelight's support team and are available as part of the company's Open NDR platform. The sensors generate network evidence from protocol analysis that security teams can use for threat hunting, incident investigation, and security monitoring activities. They are positioned as tools built by security professionals for security operations use cases.
