Endace releases OSm 7.3 network packet capture update

As network security threats increase and regulations such as DORA and GDPR place greater demands on organisations, packet-level visibility is becoming more important. In response, Endace has released OSm 7.3, a software update designed to improve access to network packet data.

With OSm 7.3, Endace seeks to improve security operations by offering a 50-times faster search performance, API-driven automation capabilities, and instant forensic access. This align with the growing need for faster response to evolving threats and stringent compliance requirements such as HIPAA and PCI-DSS.

Stuart Wilson, CEO of Endace, emphasised the important role of packet capture in modern security practices, noting the balance between power, immediacy, scalability, and affordability. By integrating this into automated workflows, OSm 7.3 aims to streamline access to deep network intelligence, allowing teams to focus on addressing threats rather than navigating complex tools.

Intended Key Enhancements in OSm 7.3:

• Search Performance

OSm 7.3 delivers up to 50 times faster search results, turning lengthy minutes-long queries into sub-second tasks.

• Vault REST API Integration

The Vault REST API advances packet data integration, enabling automated workflows for packet intelligence preservation and comprehensive forensic access.

Designed with insights from key industry events, such as Security Operations Center exercises, the update allows security analysts to move more swiftly and efficiently. Important evidence can be preserved using the new API, ensuring it is attached to incident worklogs.
