PacketViper Platform
Agentless inline network defense fusing deception and AMTD across IT and OT networks.
PacketViper Platform Overview
What it does
The PacketViper Platform is an agentless, inline network security product that unifies patented network-layer Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) with active deception to stop attacks at the reconnaissance stage across IT and OT networks. Instead of matching known signatures, it treats any contact with its constantly rotating, deceptive network surface as a high-confidence attack signal, blocking adversaries before exploitation while industrial devices and their protocols keep operating without configuration changes.
How it works
Deployed as a transparent Layer 2 appliance, in routing mode, or through lightweight Windows and Linux agents, the platform continuously randomizes IP addresses, ports, service banners, and network paths so attackers cannot map stable routes. Deceptive responders that imitate SSH, RDP, SCADA, PLC, and Active Directory services act as tripwires, and a dark-space monitor treats traffic to unused ports as reconnaissance. Confirmed threats trigger automated blocking that federates enterprise-wide in milliseconds, and OT protocol inspection parses Modbus, DNP3, BACnet, S7COMM, and NTCIP at the command and register level.
Credentials and traction
Gartner listed PacketViper as a Sample Vendor for Automated Moving Target Defense in its 2025 Emerging Tech Impact Radar for Preemptive Cybersecurity. The platform serves critical infrastructure operators across manufacturing, energy and utilities, water and wastewater, oil and gas, and the public sector, and is offered to United States government buyers through the GSA Schedule and Army CHESS procurement vehicles. Version 6.0, released in 2026, consolidated the deception, moving target defense, and OT enforcement capabilities into a single platform.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesDissects OT protocol payloads at the function code level, detecting unauthorized read/write operations, unusual register ranges, and firmware upload commands in Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and OPC-UA traffic.
Discovers OT/ICS assets by analyzing existing network traffic (Modbus polls, Profinet broadcasts, EtherNet/IP connections), without sending any probe packets that could disrupt device operation.
Forwards enriched OT security alerts into enterprise SIEM and SOAR platforms with OT-specific context, enabling unified SOC operations without requiring OT-specialized analysts.
Continuously varies network paths, IP addresses, and network configurations so attackers cannot reliably map or target stable routes to protected systems, rendering previously collected reconnaissance obsolete.
Limits lateral movement and code execution even when identities or credentials are compromised, reducing the blast radius of ransomware and destructive attacks.
Incorporates cyber deception capabilities such as decoys and tripwires as additional moving targets that disrupt, deny, and deceive attackers alongside runtime randomization.
Schedules and triggers randomization events randomly, routinely, or on demand, including reconfiguration driven by predictive threat intelligence inputs, with AI and machine learning continuously adapting defenses in real time.
