DPAI · DEEP PROTOCOL & ASSET INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM
Your Network Is Already Talking.
Start Listening.
WireTrace goes beyond deep packet inspection (DPI) to deliver DPAI - Deep Packet & Asset Intelligence - extracting asset identity, behavioral baselines, risk posture, and compliance evidence directly from network traffic. Any environment, any protocol, zero disruption.
Your Network Knows More Than You Do
Networks have grown faster than the tools designed to map them. Assets go untracked, threats go unnoticed, and compliance becomes guesswork.
Unknown Assets
Every network has devices that no inventory tracks. They communicate, consume bandwidth, and introduce risk. Silently.
Signal Buried in Noise
Generic security tools generate thousands of alerts with no operational context. The real threats hide in the flood.
Evidence on Demand
Auditors want proof, not promises. Manual assessments go stale the moment they're completed. Frameworks demand continuous evidence.
Deep Packet Inspection Meets Deep Protocol Intelligence
WireTrace fuses wire-level packet dissection with stateful protocol intelligence - turning raw traffic into asset identity, behavioral baselines, risk posture, and compliance evidence in a single deployment.
Discover
Deep protocol intelligence begins with passive asset identification from raw traffic. Every device, every OS, every firmware version, every vendor. Hundreds of classification rules using multi-signal voting. Full topology mapped automatically, no agents, no scans.
Inspect
272 protocol parsers perform deep packet inspection at the application layer. Modbus register values, TLS certificate details, LLDP switch identities, SNMP configurations, medical device models. Not port numbers. The actual commands flowing on your wire - then elevated into deep protocol intelligence.
Detect
Attack surface mapped passively. Cleartext credentials, weak cryptography, expired certificates, exposed services, industrial protocols without authentication. Behavioral baselines per device. Threat feeds with intelligent deduplication. One Risk Score for your entire network.
Comply
Five compliance frameworks mapped to live network evidence. IEC 62443, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NCA ECC, NCA OTCC. Asset inventories, segmentation proof, encryption status, vulnerability exposure. Audit-ready PDFs from what the wire shows, not what a spreadsheet claims.
Beyond DPI: Deep Protocol & Asset Intelligence
Deep Packet Inspection tells you what is on the wire. DPAI tells you what it means, whether it is normal, and what to do about it - by remembering, correlating, and reasoning over time. DPAI is not a better parser. It is the shift from inspecting packets to understanding the network.
Deep Packet Inspection
DPIExamines the payload, headers, and metadata of a packet - beyond the Layer 3/4 view of IP/port/protocol - to identify the application, decode protocol fields, and match signatures or malware patterns.
- Operates on one packet (or a single PDU) at a time
- Output = raw protocol fields (cipher suites, Modbus function codes, DNS queries)
- No memory of what came before or after
- Mature, well-understood, the industry baseline
Deep Protocol & Asset Intelligence
DPAIReconstructs and interprets the complete exchange - protocol semantics, session state, user action, service intent, and anomaly - then derives identity, behavior, risk, and compliance from it, continuously.
- Operates on conversations accumulated over time
- Output = meaning (this is a Siemens PLC at Purdue L1; it is beaconing; it is exposed to a KEV CVE)
- Stateful: maintains identity, baselines, history
- Built on top of DPI - consumes its facts
WireTrace spans DPI (rung 3) and the entire DPAI tier (rungs 5-7) - delivering identity, behavior, risk, and compliance. It does not depend on the brittle, signature-based app-ID that legacy tools stall at.

Meet Rumi — Your On-Premise AI Analyst
Every WireTrace deployment includes a built-in AI agent that runs entirely on your hardware. No cloud. No data leaving your perimeter. No API keys. Rumi correlates data across every module — assets, threats, compliance, vulnerabilities, baselines — and produces audience-aware intelligence on demand.
Persona-Aware Reports
Generate executive briefs for the board, technical deep-dives for SOC analysts, or compliance evidence for auditors — all from the same data, tailored to the audience.
Ask Your Environment
"Which assets run outdated firmware?" "Show me all unencrypted SCADA traffic." Natural language queries answered from real network evidence, not a knowledge base.
Risk Intelligence
Correlated risk briefs that connect vulnerabilities to exposed assets, active threats, and compliance gaps. Context an analyst would need hours to assemble, generated in seconds.
Change Summaries
"What changed this week?" AI-generated change digests covering new assets, classification updates, firmware changes, and new threat detections — delivered to any stakeholder.
Detect Ransomware Before Encryption Begins
WireTrace detects ransomware activity across the entire kill chain using passive network analysis. From the first port scan to mass file encryption and data exfiltration, 12 detection rules correlate multiple indicators per asset and raise high-confidence alerts within seconds. No agents. No endpoint software. Pure wire-level detection.
Kill Chain Detection
12 detection rules monitor every phase: port scanning, SMB enumeration, RDP lateral movement, mass file encryption, ransomware extensions, ransom note delivery, and data exfiltration. Indicators are correlated per asset in real time.
File Activity Monitoring
Track every file operation — read, write, delete, rename, upload, download — across SMB, FTP, NFS, TFTP, HTTP, and DICOM. Create forensic timelines that show exactly what happened, when, and from where.
MITRE ATT&CK Mapped
Every detection rule maps to specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques and tactics. Speak a common language with your threat intelligence team. Integrate findings directly into your existing security workflows.
OT/IT Isolation Monitoring
Detect when ransomware crosses IT/OT boundaries. WireTrace monitors Purdue level violations and alerts when IT workstations begin communicating with industrial controllers, preventing plant-floor compromise.
From Deep Packet Inspection to Deep Asset Intelligence
Every capability starts with the packet, then builds understanding over time. What you see is what your network actually does - identity, behavior, risk, and compliance - not what logs and agents tell you it does.
Wire-Level Protocol Dissection, Not Port Guessing
272 protocol parsers that read the actual payload. Modbus function codes and register values. TLS certificate subjects and issuers. LLDP chassis IDs and switch ports. SNMP community strings. The difference between knowing port 502 is open and knowing Unit 1 is writing to registers 40001-40010.
Read MoreUniversal Visibility, Not Domain-Locked
One sensor, one platform, every domain. Industrial PLCs, medical ventilators, IT servers, IoT smart devices, network switches — all classified from the same packet stream. No bolt-on modules, no per-domain licensing, no choosing between an OT tool and a medical tool.
Classification Engine, Not Signature Matching
411 classification rules using weighted multi-signal voting. Protocol behavior, DPI-extracted identity, LLDP/CDP, mDNS services, SSDP discovery, DHCP hostnames, MAC OUI, and SNMP sysDescr — all voted together. Active SNMP polling adds hardware model, serial number, and firmware version for definitive identification. A Philips ventilator behind a VM host gets classified correctly as a medical device, not a Windows server.
Read MorePassive-First with Selective Active Enrichment
Cleartext credential exposure, weak TLS, expired certificates, exposed management interfaces — detected passively from observed traffic. Selective active enrichment adds SNMP polling for infrastructure devices, SSH banner grabbing, and Active Directory correlation. VPN users automatically tagged from syslog correlation. Risk Score quantifies exposure and updates continuously.
Evidence from Traffic, Not Questionnaires
Compliance evidence generated continuously from observed traffic. Asset inventories, segmentation proof, access control validation, encryption status, vulnerability exposure — mapped to IEC 62443, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NCA ECC, NCA OTCC. Audit-ready PDFs generated in seconds from what the wire actually shows.
Read MoreBehavioral Baselines Per Device, Not Generic Thresholds
Baselines established per device, per protocol, per field value. A PLC that normally reads 5 Modbus registers every 2 seconds alerts when it suddenly writes to a new register. Context-rich alerts show what changed, what is normal, and what to do. Not thousands of generic threshold violations.
Threat Intelligence Without Alert Fatigue
Built-in infrastructure whitelist prevents false positives from known-good services. Per-IoC exclusion dismisses irrelevant indicators with one click. Detections grouped by affected asset, not listed as flat logs. You see which devices are talking to suspicious infrastructure, not a raw match count.
Medical Device Intelligence, Not Just Inventory
Parses tens of proprietary medical device protocols from major manufacturers. Identifies ventilators, patient monitors, anesthesia machines, infusion pumps, imaging systems, and lab analyzers by function and manufacturer. Biomed engineers see which devices need updates, which communicate outside their segment, and which use unencrypted clinical data.
