Network Security Monitoring Module
Black Cell’s Network Security Monitoring (BC NSM) solution addresses the critical need for deep visibility inside today’s complex digital environments, where sophisticated threats often bypass perimeter defenses moving undetected within enterprise IT and OT networks.
Beyond traditional security measures that primarily focus on safeguarding the network perimeter, BC NSM takes a more comprehensive approach, monitoring not just the perimeter but also internal network traffic for anomalies and suspicious activities. This is achieved through passive monitoring of mirrored network data, which allows for real-time threat detection without disrupting the normal flow of network operations. This delivers the critical capability for early detection of advanced threats, network anomalies, and internal policy violations that might otherwise go unseen.
Overview
How Black Cell NSM Secures Your Network
Our NSM solution thoroughly examines network flows in real-time. We employ a multi-faceted approach, leveraging deep packet inspection (DPI) to scrutinize packet contents, signature-based detection to identify known malicious patterns using constantly updated threat intelligence-based network signatures, behavioral analysis to spot deviations from established norms, and rich metadata extraction to provide comprehensive context about every communication. This allows us to:
Identify Suspicious Activity
Discover unusual data transfers, protocol anomalies, Command and Control (C2) communication, connections to known malicious infrastructure, lateral movement, and data exfiltration. Detect malicious payloads, exploit attempts and other indicators of compromise (IoCs).
Uncover Policy Violations
Monitor for unauthorized protocol usage, remote access, connections to prohibited services, or communication patterns that violate your internal security policies.
Provide Context for Investigations
Generate detailed network-level evidence that significantly accelerates incident response and forensic analysis, helping you understand the “what, when, and how” of an attack.
The Black Cell NSM Advantage
Choosing Black Cell for Network Security Monitoring means partnering with experts dedicated to providing effective, relevant threat detection.
Deep Network Visibility
Gain unparalleled insight into traffic flows, application usage, and asset communications across your environment.
Operational Technology (OT) Visibility
Extend network monitoring capabilities into your industrial control system (ICS) environments, providing crucial visibility into OT-specific protocols and potential threats without disrupting critical operations.
Proactive Threat Detection
Identify malicious activity, intrusion attempts, malware communications, and anomalies often missed by endpoint or perimeter defenses alone, leveraging both signature and behavioral techniques.
Constantly Updated Signatures
Our detection capabilities are powered by continuously updated signatures based on up-to-date and high-quality threat intelligence data, ensuring you are protected against the latest evolving threats. This proactive approach to threat intelligence allows us to stay ahead of potential vulnerabilities, safeguarding your valuable data and assets.
Detection Tailored to Your Environment
Detections and signature sets are not one-size-fits-all. We work closely with you to understand your specific operational context, critical assets, network architecture, and risk profile. This allows us to fine-tune the network monitoring, creating tailored signatures and detections that maximize accuracy and minimize noise for your environment.
Machine Learning Anomaly Detection with ESM
Integration with Black Cell’s ESM (Enterprise Security Monitoring) platform allows you to leverage powerful machine learning algorithms. This combination establishes a baseline of your normal network activity and automatically flags statistically significant deviations, helping to uncover novel, zero-day, and insider threats.
Scalable & Adaptable
Designed for scalability and adaptability, our NSM solution handles organizational growth and network changes, enabling effective monitoring across distributed environments, including remote locations and multiple sites.
Enhanced Incident Response
Equip your security team with the detailed network context needed to quickly understand, scope, and remediate security incidents, reducing attacker dwell time and the potential impact.

All Modules
ESM Core
The BC-ESM Core module is a backbone of the entire detection ecosystem. Under the hood we adopted Elasticsearch as a log manipulation platform, which capabilities predestinate it to serve as a SIEM (Security Event and Information). With advanced features, BC-ESM Core enables organizations to maintain a secure and resilient environment while leveraging powerful search and analytics capabilitie
NSM for IT and OT
The ESM Network Security Monitoring provides value by analyzing mirrored IT and OT network traffic utilizing both signatures and metadata. It features a built-in, highly configurable incident handling module based on processes, ensuring effective response to security events. Its configuration-based connection to log sources and inventory capabilities enhance visibility and management of assets.
Endpoint Security
ESM’s Endpoint security is an agent-based solution for Windows, *nix and Mac designed for detection and response capabilities, ensuring comprehensive protection against a wide array of threats. It effectively counters sophisticated cyber-attacks, able to block unknown and polymorphic malware and ransomware, and stops advanced threats using host-based behavior analytics. With high-fidelity alerting, it minimizes noise, allowing your team to focus on genuine threats.
Anomaly detections
ESM incorporates machine learning features to automate the detection of anomalies and unusual patterns in log data. This capability is crucial for identifying potential security threats and operational issues before they escalate.
Threat Intelligence by Black Cell Labs
Detection as Code
Detection-as-Code is a foundational principle of Black Cell ESM. It treats detection rules not as static configurations, but as living code—developed, tested, and deployed using modern software engineering practices.
IoC
BC-IoC is the threat intelligence module of the Black Cell ESM platform, delivering real-time, high-fidelity Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) to boost detection, prevention, and threat hunting across your security ecosystem.
NSM
While BC-NSM already delivers powerful capabilities like network traffic analysis, metadata extraction, and anomaly detection, the true strength of the platform is unlocked when paired with our curated Threat Intelligence Feed.
