Savvius announced a major upgrade to Omnipeek, its software for network performance diagnostics and troubleshooting, and now with version 10, security investigations.
Omnipeek 10 dramatically streamlines network troubleshooting and security investigations using powerful packet data analytics and visualizations that can be adapted to any workflow. Omnipeek network forensics software provides network engineers and security analysts a one-stop solution to ensure that network and network-related security issues can be found and dealt with quickly and effectively.
"Increasingly, security analysts are turning to packet data for fast, accurate investigations," said Jay Botelho, Director of Products, Savvius. "Traditional packet data software is awkward and time-consuming in a security investigation. Omnipeek 10 is the first network forensics software that gives both network and security professionals access to just the specific data they need."
Omnipeek 10 gives users the ability to manage packet analysis through a single, streamlined user interface that can now include security alerts from popular open-source IDS platforms such as Snort and Suricata. By highlighting packet data corresponding to these alerts, Omnipeek 10 makes possible immediate, detailed analysis of suspected breaches. Both network and security professionals will appreciate Omnipeek 10's ability to open multiple large capture files simultaneously by filtering the packet files before they are loaded and analyzed. This greatly reduces file size and helps to speed up response times.
Another advanced feature of interest to both network and security professionals in Omnipeek 10 is a Files View that reconstructs files transmitted via HTTP, allowing analysts to see exactly what files were transferred at a particular time between every user on the network. Users can search assembled packet payloads for any string, filter data by country, add as many custom decode columns as they require, and perform fast forensics searches.
New and Updated Features in Omnipeek 10:
- View File Content - Reconstructs files by extracting data from reassembled HTTP payloads. This is performed automatically when a packet file is opened, and provides critical information about file content.
- Security Events from Snort and Suricata - Ability to import analytical results from Snort and Suricata, and overlay the resulting security alerts against the packet data for immediate, detailed analysis of any suspected breaches.
- Investigation Overview - Provides summary level information about the entire packet file under analysis, enabling a rapid transition to any time segment.
- Savvius Omnipliance Status - Notifies administrators immediately, via syslog and/or email, if a Savvius Omnipliance drive goes down or a network capture stops.
- Customize Packet Decode Views - Creates unique packet decode columns based on any information within packets, making it easy to find and compare packets that contain elements under investigation.
- Filter Files to Maximize Computing Bandwidth - Filters packet files before loading packets for analysis, using parameters such as IP addresses and/or port ranges, significantly increasing analysis performance on computers with limited resources.
- Faster Forensic Searches - Significantly increases the speed of packet data retrieval from disk, making post-capture analysis much more efficient.
Omnipeek 10 is available now.

A new study by the IBM Institute for Business Value reveals that enterprises are expected to significantly scale AI-enabled workflows, many driven by agentic AI, relying on them for improved decision making and automation. The AI Projects to Profits study revealed that respondents expect AI-enabled workflows to grow from 3% today to 25% by the end of 2025. With 70% of surveyed executives indicating that agentic AI is important to their organization's future, the research suggests that many organizations are actively encouraging experimentation ...
Respondents predict that agentic AI will play an increasingly prominent role in their interactions with technology vendors over the coming years and are positive about the benefits it will bring, according to The Race to an Agentic Future: How Agentic AI Will Transform Customer Experience, a report from Cisco ...
A new wave of tariffs, some exceeding 100%, is sending shockwaves across the technology industry. Enterprises are grappling with sudden, dramatic cost increases that threaten to disrupt carefully planned budgets, sourcing strategies, and deployment plans. For CIOs and CTOs, this isn't just an economic setback; it's a wake-up call. The era of predictable cloud pricing and stable global supply chains is over ...
As artificial intelligence (AI) adoption gains momentum, network readiness is emerging as a critical success factor. AI workloads generate unpredictable bursts of traffic, demanding high-speed connectivity that is low latency and lossless. AI adoption will require upgrades and optimizations in data center networks and wide-area networks (WANs). This is prompting enterprise IT teams to rethink, re-architect, and upgrade their data center and WANs to support AI-driven operations ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is core to observability practices, with some 41% of respondents reporting AI adoption as a core driver of observability, according to the State of Observability for Financial Services and Insurance report from New Relic ...
Application performance monitoring (APM) is a game of catching up — building dashboards, setting thresholds, tuning alerts, and manually correlating metrics to root causes. In the early days, this straightforward model worked as applications were simpler, stacks more predictable, and telemetry was manageable. Today, the landscape has shifted, and more assertive tools are needed ...
Cloud adoption has accelerated, but backup strategies haven't always kept pace. Many organizations continue to rely on backup strategies that were either lifted directly from on-prem environments or use cloud-native tools in limited, DR-focused ways ... Eon uncovered a handful of critical gaps regarding how organizations approach cloud backup. To capture these prevailing winds, we gathered insights from 150+ IT and cloud leaders at the recent Google Cloud Next conference, which we've compiled into the 2025 State of Cloud Data Backup ...
Private clouds are no longer playing catch-up, and public clouds are no longer the default as organizations recalibrate their cloud strategies, according to the Private Cloud Outlook 2025 report from Broadcom. More than half (53%) of survey respondents say private cloud is their top priority for deploying new workloads over the next three years, while 69% are considering workload repatriation from public to private cloud, with one-third having already done so ...
