Network Traffic Analytics

Network Traffic Analytics in Astral provides analytical and observational capabilities focused on understanding network behavior over time. Rather than detecting individual threats or triggering alerts, this capability is designed to offer visibility into traffic patterns, trends, and usage characteristics across the environment, supporting investigation, threat hunting, and operational awareness.

Astral analyzes network telemetry derived from flow data, IDS signals, and other network sources to build a comprehensive view of how hosts, services, and protocols interact. By aggregating and contextualizing this data, the platform enables security teams to identify deviations from normal behavior, understand attack surfaces, and validate the impact and scope of security incidents.

Network traffic analytics complements Astral’s detection capabilities by providing historical context and behavioral baselines. These insights support deeper analysis during investigations and enable security teams to move beyond reactive alerting toward proactive and informed security operations.
